  • Abstract / Overview:

  • KEY POINTS

    -  There is a growing demand for the use of integrative medicine in veterinary medicine.

    -  Evidence-based research using integrative medicine in veterinary patients with lower urinary tract diseases is scarce.

    -  Translational research with animal models of human lower urinary tract disease (LUTD) is an opportunity to expand our knowledge of etiopathogenesis and identifying complementary treatments.

    -  Translational evidence-based research is needed to accelerate the use of integrative health care in both human and veterinary medicine where there is a concern for antimicrobial resistance.
