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.
