Abstract

The relationship between humans, dogs and cats has become closer in recent years in addition to the adherence of tutors to unconventional pets, such as Guinea Pigs into the family environment. Companion animals are impacted positively and negatively by this relationship, and several of the negative aspects of clinical conditions are related to their management in which urolithiasis is noteworthy. This is a multifactorial disease that includes dietary and non-dietary factors for the formation of uroliths and their prevalence varies according to the species. Some uroliths, such as struvite, are susceptible to dissolution and the treatment is related to a dietary change; while others, like calcium oxalate, treatment is based on surgical procedure. In that regard, this review aims to highlight the importance of urolithiasis in different species such as dogs, cats and guinea pig, comparing the etiopathogenesis of uroliths.
