Objective: to describe the clinical picture of urinary system diseases associated with toxocariasis. Method: Descriptive documentary. Conclusion: The high prevalence and diversity of parasitic helminths in dogs, together with their ability to cause serious disease in both canines and humans, underlines the importance of implementing effective control and prevention measures. Helminth infections not only affect the health and welfare of dogs, but also represent a significant public health risk due to the associated zoonosis.
