Complimentary urine testing for cats and dogs 7 years and older — with any appointment in June

Why Test Urine? As pets age, subtle changes can happen long before you notice signs at home. A simple urine test screens for early kidney disease and can detect signs of UTIs or inflammation — before they become bigger problems.

Dogs

• Use a thoroughly washed and dried container — lower-sided for females, a ladle for males.
• The first wee of the day is best.
• Can’t collect at home? Leave your dog in the car and we’ll help on arrival.

Cats

• If their bladder is full enough, we can collect the sample directly at the clinic.
• Otherwise, collect at home using non-absorbent kitty litter in a clean, dry litter tray.

What to do with your sample

• Pop ~1 tablespoon into a thoroughly clean and dry jar with a secure lid.
• Keep it in the fridge and bring to your appointment — ideally the same day.
