A 12 year old sexually intact Spitz male dog was presented with a swelling on the right perineal region. The animal showed periodic difficulty in defecation and stranguria. On physical examination, the condition was diagnosed as perineal hernia. The animal had the history of perineal hernia four months back and had undergone herniorrhaphy. On account of its recurrence, surgical correction by hernioplasty using polypropylene mesh and orchiectomy was done. The animal had an uneventful recovery and the skin sutures were removed on the 9th post-operative day.
