One Step Dog, Cat, Pet Urine Test Strips, pH, Infection, Diabetes, Vet Parameter Sticks, 100 Testing Strips

My dog had typical symptoms of a UTI, dripping urine, frequent squatting to attempt to pee but not much pee coming out, having accidents at home, and I am also pretty sure there was blood coming out from his penis on at least two occasions.I know doctors usually prescribe antibiotics for this however we've been waiting for a vet's appointment for a month so in the meantime, since the symptoms have not been improving, I managed to buy these urine tests (the same urine tests they run in Vets4Pets cost £60-£80 per one!!!) and then find a Protexin Veterinary CystoPro - Bladder and Urinary Support for Dog capsules.My dog had one capsule every morning. I also added water to his food, and added around half a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar to his breakfast and dinner for the first 5 days (then only half a teaspoon for breakfast), also went out for short walks more frequently, for my dog to pee and flush it all out without holding it in for too long.The test showed a UTI infection and no glucose in the urine helping us establish what the problem was. Before, the urine test (I did two tests from two different urine samples, only took a photo of one that day) showed a high Ph level as well as 500+ leukocytes in urine. In the photo you can see the last, bottom square is purple before and white after treatment - that was leukocyte levels. The dark green square in the middle indicating the Ph level also changed to orange after treatment indicating a lower, better, Ph level now.So in a week (just days day before our vet's appointment) we repeated the urine test and it showed everything cleared up. As you can imagine we had a very pleasant visit at the vet, he listened to us, examined every little detail, and said it all looks good now. We were told there is no need for any further treatment or diagnostics.I would recommend this product as well as the capsules, for at least trying out for a week before attempting more serious, antibiotic treatment. Of course, keep in mind all dogs are different, every organism will react differently, etc, I also haven't done any lab urine tests to comment on the accuracy of this test however all the results (both elevated Ph and leukocytes) and symptoms seem to be consistent with a UTI that was treated.I am still planning on finishing the pack of 30 just to be safe that it doesn't come back. I am really impressed with this entire process that we were able to do in our own home!The delivery was so quick also for both products I am reviewing! Next-day delivery. Way faster than waiting for the vet. The test also comes with a little flyer that my dog ate but from what I managed to retrieve from his mouth it had a good little analysis key for reading the results. For this price, it's very much worth it!

Bought these as my dog is diabetic and needed to know how high her glucose was in her urine. There are other ones which just tell you glucose but this one has lots of things to help you know whats going on with your dog. Vet can do these but very expensive just to say hello to them so these were invaluable. They are very easy to use and gives full instructions.Very fast delivery and well packaged.

I bought these as our 8 year Cat has developed Type 2 Diabetes, and we needto keep a careful eye on his Ketones to make sure his medication is working.We have done 4 tests so far and the results are matching up with the actual tests done by our Vet.I showed the Nurse the results and although they test results are done slightly differently than the test strips the results are pretty much accurate, so we should be able to manage his condition from home and only get the Vet to check if we see spikes in his ketone levels.I have no problem recommending these to other Cat owners.

Not used yet but sure they will be fine. No problems with delivery. Best price

Easy to use

I bought these as my dog appeared to have blood in urine, and while waiting to see the vet (appointment booked), I wanted to test their urine.-Now, after a little trial and error the strips do work as indicated, and the vets liked them too, however, beware mine came with no clear instructions for use, and the difficulty is - have you ever tried testing animal/dog urine before when they urinate on the ground and not in a container or collection pot.-Whilst these are good and do test urine, please bare in mind you have to dip the strips into urine and you may have difficulty doing that if they urinate on the ground outside as you have very little depth to dip the strips in, so consider collecting the water in a urine collection container prior to testing.-To use these test strips they have to be immersed below urine at a required depth!!-Also, I would recommend wearing gloves for sterility and hygiene. Plus the items really need to refer you to a video for guidance or have the facility to download or view a detailed instruction leaflet on how to use them safely, correctly, and interpret the test strips.-I am trained in K9/Canine First Aid and while I knew how to use them I did not realise how difficult it would be to test without the use of a collection bottle/container to collect the urine in.Just glad there is a lot of test strips to practice with.-I had sterile surgical gloves at hand so that wasn't a problem.-Plus if you wish to transfer these test strips to the vet for them to examine you may wish to buy airtight waterproof bags or sample bottles to put them in to safely take them to the vets for review and examining.-On a positive note, after I managed to use a strip and get an indication I then placed it in a waterproof ziplock sealed bag and stored it safely, then took the strip enclosed in the sealed bag along with me to the vets so the results could be examined and logged by the vets.-My vet did like the strips used and they gave a clear indication of blood in the urine.-I would recommend the test strips for monitoring purposes (I bought them to test my cocker spaniel/dog), but recommend you buy sterile medical gloves and a collection pot to aid safe, effective and hygienic use.-Then if you wish to store the used test strips and take them to the vet you may need a sample bottle of the correct length, or purchase some of those clear plastic waterproof bags with press seal along the top, which you buy for storing small items in the freezer, those bags are ideal to store a test strip in and stop it being contaminated while you wait to visit the vets.-Hope this review aids others as other reviews were not as detailed online.

I was not sure if my dog was miscarrying or had an infection.My theory was backed up by the vet after. But these are great to keep on hand. A must have for the pet medicine cabinet.

I highly recommend these if your pet struggles with UTIs it’s quite accurate and easy to use. However my vet recommended that additionally to this, get samples tested at your vets as theirs is much more precise.
