Urolithiasis in dogs and cats is one of many causes of urinary calculus formation, which may occur from the renal pelvis until the urethra. This formed calculus are responsible for modifying the physiology of the urinary tract according to its composition. The most founded uroliths in dogs are composed by magnesium ammonia phosphate and calcium oxalate. In cats, the most founded uroliths between the age of sevent and nine are composed by calcium oxalate, and in young cats, the struvite uroliths, are the most founded. Clinical signals varied between themselves, being the simple radiography and radiography with contrast the most used methods for diagnostic. Predisposing factors include the infections of urinary tract, changes in the urine pH, hereditary factors, diet types and low ingestion for water. This review has the purpose to inform about the difference between the uroliths, how your formation happen and the principles of both clinical and surgical treatments
