Phimosis is a condition characterized by the inability to exteriorize the penis due to narrowing of the preputial orifice, which may compromise urination and the animal’s welfare. The present study aims to report a case of congenital phimosis in a one-year-old male dog, as well as to describe the surgical correction performed through posthioplasty. The patient had a history of urinary difficulty since birth associated with malformation of the preputial orifice; therefore, the diagnosis was established based on clinical examination and complementary laboratory and imaging tests. The treatment consisted of surgical correction associated with orchiectomy, resulting in a satisfactory postoperative outcome without complications or adverse events. After clinical follow-up, complete restoration of normal urination and return to regular activities were observed. It is concluded that the surgical correction employed was effective, as it promoted a significant improvement in the patient’s quality of life.
