Uroliths can occur in any section of the urinary tract, but bladder uroliths are the most common. The differences in breed predispositions of forming different types of uroliths have been identified by different studies. Certain breeds of dogs are genetically predisposed to this condition and to the specific stone type formation. The purpose of this study was to report on the breed differences of 160 canine uroliths submitted to clinics and hospitals in Tirana from July 2013 to January 2017. From all the dogs taken in study 11 of them resulted positive for the presence of stones. From this study it was observed that Dalmatian breed had the highest number of cases, 3 dogs from 11 positive cases belonged to this breed. The other breeds with urolithiasis condition resulted German shepherd and Mixed dogs with 2 cases each and Miniature schnauizer, Terrier, Shih Tzu and Shetland Sheep dog with 1 cases each. In this article are also discussed some risk factors for the various uroliths formation, some recommendations for treatment and prevention. The monitoring of the dog with this condition predisposition on regular basis may help in early identification, treatment, and prevention of uroliths.

This study was conducted over the period from July 2013 to January 2017 where data were collected on a total 160 cases of dogs with urinary problems and distinct clinical signs in the urinary tract, which were admitted into clinics and hospitals in Tirana district. Of all the cases which were identified with urinary problems and distinct signs of the urinary tract, 14 (9%) of them tested positive for the presence of stones and 146 (91%)of them tested negative. All of the animals examined were broken down into several age groups ranging from 0-5 years old, from 5-9 years old, and those from 9 years old and above. The average age of dogs with uroliths were 5-9 years old or accounting for 55% of all the cases under observation testing positive. Determining the frequency of male dogs against female ones a higher prevalence resulted in male dogs at 9 cases otherwise 64% and in female dogs at 5 cases otherwise 36% respectively. Uroliths from crossbreed, Dalmatians, German shepherd, Yorkshire terrier was calculated in almost 40% of all canine uroliths, with the highest frequency in Dalmatians, which had a predominance of urateuroliths with a percentage of 25%.The most frequently identified materials were struvite which occupy the highest proportion of stones at about 37% of stones found. These were followed by calcium oxalate and uric acid stones standing at 27% respectively. Silicates were found in just one case at 9% of total combined. An important factor contributing to this case was a very concentrated food diet which had a prevalence of 9 case (64 %), 5 was the cases which had been subject to home-based food or (36 %).
