UTI BioScreen & Culture for Dogs - At-Home Dog Urine Test | Kedi Labs
Kedi Labs
Is Your Dog Straining to Pee, Having Accidents, or Producing Bloody Urine?
Urinary signs in dogs can come from infection, inflammation, crystals, stones, or other urinary tract problems. The Kedi Labs UTI BioScreen & Culture for Dogs combines a complete urinalysis with culture and susceptibility testing when indicated, giving you laboratory information to share with your veterinarian.
From symptoms to answers
1. Start with the symptom: This test is designed for dogs with frequent urination, house accidents, blood in urine, straining, or recurring urinary concerns.
2. Collect at home: Use the included collection pole and sterile cup to collect a mid-stream urine sample during a normal bathroom break.
3. Send it to Kedi: Package and ship the sample according to the kit instructions.
4. Veterinary lab testing: The laboratory performs a complete urinalysis and, when indicated, culture and susceptibility testing to look for bacterial infection and help guide antibiotic selection.
5. Get clear results: Your report includes urinalysis findings and any culture information generated by the lab.
6. Know what comes next: Share the report with your veterinarian to help determine whether additional evaluation or treatment is needed.
Important: A dog that cannot urinate, is repeatedly straining with little or no urine, is vomiting, appears very painful, or is rapidly worsening should receive prompt veterinary care rather than waiting for a mail-in result.
