Each year both dogs and cats require vaccinations to protect against
disease. Whilst visiting the vet for these vaccinations routine
health checks are performed, looking, feeling and listening for
anything out of the ordinary. As well as a physical examination, if
a urine sample is brought it will be analysed free of charge.
Urine Sample Analysis
Urine can tell us some important things about what is going on
internally, things that we would not be able to see or feel from the
outside.
The urine is analysed to show how concentrated it is, whether there
is any glucose, protein or blood cells and if there are certain
toxic products present. Subtle changes to the urine can be signs
that early, subtle disease may be present. This means if any
abnormalities are found, treatment can be started earlier when it
can be more effective, and further disease can be prevented.
