The work deals with evaluation of the incidence of individual types of urinary stones in dogs, and the effect of specialised clinical diets on the treatment of urolithiasis. The evaluted material consists of an aggregate of analytical results from extracted urinary stones from the Veterinary clinic Vltava, in the period from January 30, 2008 to September 12, 2011. The effect of administration of specialised clinical diets for urolithiasis was evaluated on the basis of case histories of sample patients with proven struvite urolithiasis and an occurence of calcium oxalates and urates. The analysed aggregate of laboratory results of tested urinary stones has shown that besides a high incidence of struvite, the frequency of occurence of calcium oxalates increases as well. In this analysis even up to an identical percentage with struvite occurence at 44,44 % (that is, 24) analysed concrements. A link has been established with overal greater proneness of males to the formation of urinary stones. In the patient group with analysed majority percentage of whewellite, only 12,5 % of the analysed aggregate were females. Considering the widely varied pedigrees of analysed patients, incidence of urolithiasis is expected with ever greater frequency even in dogs not predisposed by breed and crossbreeds. Specialised clinical diets are employed in the treatment and prevention of certain types of urinary stons with high success rate, which adjust the urine environment and thus reduce the risk of occurence of urinary stones. Given the possibility of recurrence of urinary stones, i tis necessary to perform regular urine testing, and eventual sonographic examinations of the bladder
