    Helicobacter spp. are bacteria that colonize the gastric mucosa of several species, and H. pylori is not described as the main microorganism found in the gastric mucosa of dogs and cats. Dogs are usually asymptomatic, but when they show clinical signs, chronic emesis is often seen. The diagnosis can be confirmed through the rapid urease test, serology, cytology and histopathological examination, and treatment is performed when there are clinical signs. The present work describes a case of chronic gastritis caused by H. pylori, diagnosed through biopsy, collected by endoscopy associated with the urease test. The treatment was based on the use of antibiotic therapy (azithromycin associated with metronidazole) and gastric protectors.
