This case report describes a previously unreported congenital malformation, an umbilico‐biliary fistula, in a dog. A one‐year‐old male bulldog was diagnosed with umbilico‐biliary fistula using fistulography. Treatment involving surgical removal of the fistula was straightforward and resulted in clinical resolution of the problem.
