MN Urolith

The Minnesota Urolith Center, in partnership with Hill’s Pet Nutrition, provides complementary urolith analysis and science supported treatment recommendations to veterinarians worldwide. 

For more than 30 years, this diagnostic service has been offered without cost to veterinary hospitals through a longstanding partnership between Hill’s Pet Nutrition and The Minnesota Urolith Center at the University of Minnesota, College of Veterinary Medicine.  Largely with the support of an annual educational grant from Hill’s Pet Nutrition, and voluntary contributions by pet owners and veterinarians worldwide, we provide a valuable benefit directly to practitioners: quantitative analysis of patients’ uroliths. 

The application is exclusively for veterinarians and veterinary support staff.  It requires an existing account on the main system at www.urolithcenter.org.  Use the same email and password to access the iPhone application, enabling convenient viewing of the status of recent submissions.  One click allows easy  retrieval of reports and recommendations wherever you may be—in the clinic or on the go.

Use the main system to enter patient information prior to submitting a urolith.

Then use the App to:
