Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is the most common disease of the prostate in dogs. It can be treated by surgical or pharmacological methods. Surgical methods are used in non-breeder males or males with pathological changes in the testis. Pharmacological treatment is an alternative for breeder males and old animals with associated diseases. Substances that can be used for medical treatment are GnRH analogues, GnRH antagonists, estrogens, progestogens, antiandrogens, inhibitors of 5α-reductase, antiestrogens, and VDR agonists. This paper presents short characteristics of pharmacological substances that we have used in BPH treatment.
