General Information

Bacterial infections of the urinary tract (UTI) are quite common in dogs. They represent around 10% of the caseload in canine clinical practices, in contrast to cats, in which the prevalence of UTI is only 1% (18).

Infections of the distal urinary tract, such as urethritis, cystitis, and prostatitis, are much more common than upper urinary tract infections, suggesting that the majority of bacteria gain entrance into the organism via the urethra (18).
