Dogs are more commonly afflicted with intestinal adenocarcinoma than cats. Intestinal adenocarcinomas have been seen in animals between the ages of 3 and 13 years, but most cases are seen in middle aged to older animals. The mean age of occurence is 6 to 9 years in the dog, and 10 to 12 years in the cat. There apppears to be a predisposition for males, and this is more pronounced in dogs than in cats. There are no breed predispositions.
