    I found it really hard to collecta pee sample from my female Corgi, but after a few failed attempts I got a small amount using the cup lid.

    The extendable collection pole made it so much easier to collect my Cockapoo's urine sample. It even reminded me of a campfire marshmallow roaster, which was a fun surprise. The kit is comprehensive and helped me identify early signs of a UTI, allowing for prompt veterinary care. Highly recommended!

    Petlio is an awesome product. Having and elderly Bernese Mountain dog who lives part time at a cottage I loved being able to test her frequently and not having to go to the vet each month and pay their testing prices. The process is really quick and easy when you get used to it and collecting the samples is made super easy with the tools in the kit. I was a bit shocked the vet doesn't give you similar urine collecting wands when they ask for those samples. Would highly recommend!

Answers To

frequently Asked questions

What does this look for?

Our tests follow well established veterinary procedures (also called a Urinalysis) to screen pets for signs of disease and conditions such as urinary tract infections, endocrine diseases (such as diabetes), kidney disease, liver disease, and urinary crystals.

Why is this important?

Urine testing screens for chronic kidney disease (CKD), something that affects up to 80% of older cats and 25% of older dogs.

The sooner these diseases are identified, the sooner a treatment or management plan can be implemented to give your pet the best outcome possible.

Screening for urinary crystals and other factors in pet urine (such as pH and urine concentration etc.) can suggest the potential for bladder stone formation. Left undetected, bladder stones can cause recurrent urinary tract infections and potentially life-threatening urethra blockages in both cats and dogs. Certain breeds of dogs as well as male cats are more susceptible and face greater health risks from bladder stones.

Urine is often used to screen for diabetes mellitus. Left untreated, diabetes can result in diabetic ketoacidosis, a potentially life-threatening metabolic condition.

When should I screen?

Most veterinarians encourage testing your pet annually or even twice a year, and up to 4x per year for older dogs and cats.

Other than for wellness screening, your veterinarian may recommend a urinalysis if your pet has any of these signs:
-Change in urine frequency + volume
-Bladder accidents (peeing inside the house or outside the litterbox)
-Blood in the urine
-Straining to urinate
-Urinating small, frequent amounts
-Dribbling urine
-Painful urination
-Abdominal pain
-Frequently licking their genitals

What is the cost of not acting?

Routine urine screening can help mitigate:
-Prolonged pain and discomfort
-Severe urinary tract infections (UTIs)
-Kidney infections
-Electrolyte Imbalances
-Surgery for bladder stones
-Advanced chronic kidney disease
-Consequences of adrenal gland disease (Cushing's disease)
-Uncontrolled Diabetes leading to Diabetic
-Ketoacidosis
-Prostate disease (infection, inflammation etc)
-Bladder cancer or other types of cancer (rare cases)
-Hospitalization (rare cases)
-Death (rare cases)

Failing to test proactively can also have a large financial impact!

If your vet is concerned about advanced urinary issues with your pet, they may request a sterile urine collection which requires putting a needle directly into your pet’s bladder. This can cost $250 to $400.

If bladder stones are left unidentified until they have grown in size then surgery may be required. The total cost of surgery to remove bladder stones can range from $800 to $1,400 or more! Costs include x-rays or ultrasound, pre-anesthetic bloodwork, anesthesia and take-home medication.
