The study aims to evaluate the epidemiology of canine urate urolithiasis in Thailand and identify associated risk factors.
Conducted a comparative cross-sectional study between 2016 and 2023.
Evaluated dogs with urate and non-urate uroliths submitted to the Minnesota Urolith Center.
Analyzed data based on breed, age, sex, and neutered status.
Included a hospital group from the Small Animal Hospital, Chulalongkorn University.
3.4% of 6,171 canine urolith submissions were urate-containing.
Identified twelve high-risk breeds, primarily medium- to large-sized.
Intact male and younger dogs were at a higher risk.
Recommended screening for dogs aged 1-6 years, especially intact males.
