Abstract: The aim of the study was to investigate insulin resistance in overweight and obese dogs. Obesity is excessive fat accumulation in the body and is defined as being 30% above the ideal body weight. In the study, a total of 30 dogs were divided into 3 equal groups: ideal weight, overweight and obese. Fasting serum samples were collected and used to measure insulin (INS) and asprosin (ASP) levels using dog-specific ELISA kits. Glucose (GLU) and fructosamine (FRU) were also determined using biochemistry analyzer and Idexx test kits, respectively. HOMA-IR (homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance), HOMA-β% (homeostasis model assessment of β cell function) and insulin-glucose ratio (IGR) were calculated using glucose and insulin values. In the study, ASP (p
