As I said, I use them because Lady is a diabetic and also to test for uti's since she is prone to them. They are also handy if your dog has a problem with bladder stones and you need to monitor his pH.
IMO, unless you are monitoring a specific health condition, you are better off saving your money and having bloodwork done once a year. That is a much better indicator of overall health. |
you see i am a bit concerned because he does not drink water, only when i add it to his food everyday. his urine looks a little too yellow for me, so i thought it was a good idea to check it. the vet wants 100.00 to check his urine without me bringing him in. then the vet said it would be better if i brought him in so he could do a urinary culture on him. i do not even know what that is, or how they do that, but i am sure that bill will be well over 200.00.
i looked at the link you sent me, and is it for humans or dogs? or does it matter ?
the petcheckup sent me the booklet to read and how to do it, i am new at this , so this is good. i will however , next time buy the ones you sent me to see.
thanks
