Mucus is a slippery and slimy substance produced by glands and membranes to moisturize and protect certain parts of the body. Healthy dogs primarily have light yellow and transparent urine without traces of mucus or any solid/semi-solid material.
Only a veterinarian should give a diagnosis and advise you for treatment. If you observe mucus in your dog’s urine, call your veterinarian immediately. Not getting timely help can exacerbate the issue.
Mucus in dog urine is a sign of inflammation caused by multiple factors, including eating food that did not sit well in the dog’s stomach, bacterial infection, a viral or parasitic infection, allergies, or other disorders. These are serious conditions but not necessarily life-threatening.
