Chronic vomiting in dogs is a common reason for consultation in small animal clinics as a sign of chronic gastropathy. There are many causes that can lead to this condition, and sometimes it is difficult to reach an etiological diagnosis, often necessitating endoscopic examination of the gastric mucosa and histopathological analysis of the obtained biopsy. Bacteria belonging to the genus Helicobacter (H) have been suggested as one of the etiological factors of chronic gastritis; however, the relationship between these microorganisms and gastric disease is not well understood, as gastritis accompanies the infection in some dogs but not in all, and many show no clinical signs despite the infection. The aim of this study was to describe the findings from the endoscopic examination of gastric biopsies from 30 dogs infected with Helicobacter spp., with and without gastrointestinal clinical signs, treated at the FAV Teaching Hospital.
