Urinalysis

Valuable information is contained in your pet's urine.  Following are some things a urine specimen can tell us about your pet:

Kidney Function - A urine sample can indirectly tell your doctor how well your pet's kidneys are working.

Diabetes

Liver Disease

Urinary Tract Infections

Bladder Cancer or Bladder Stones - In some cases, suspicious cells can be seen giving an early warning sign to bladder problems.

Nutrition - A urine sample can help you doctor make recommendations about your pet's diet.

The reason we take time to mention this is that the above is valuable information to you and your pet.  As a screening test, the urinalysis is very inexpensive and is easy to obtain.  You may bring your pet in for urinalysis or you can come by and pickup a urine collection kit and obtain a sample at home.
