Petnox-10 dog and cat urine test strips are designed for veterinary professionals, pet owners and care-givers. These clinical-grade strips measure ten critical parameters in pet urine: bilirubin, blood, glucose, ketones, leukocytes, nitrites, pH, protein, specific gravity, and urobilinogen. By contrast, traditional UTI test strips typically only measure two or three parameters.

Each test strip is lined with reagent pads that change color in response to the chemical makeup of the urine sample. The test analyzes the urine qualitatively, detecting the presence or absence of the ten parameters. It also estimates the quantity of these chemicals. Users visually interpret these results with a simple color key or a urine-analyzer machine.

A urine test for dogs and cats is one of the fastest and easiest ways to monitor their health. Petnox-10 helps users detect dehydration and diagnose conditions affecting the kidneys, liver, urinary tract, and other organs. For instance, nitrites in pet urine can be a sign of a bacterial urinary tract infection, while protein in urine may indicate kidney disease.

Petnox-10 cat and dog urine test strips deliver results in only two minutes, so you can quickly get a comprehensive snapshot of your pet’s health.

Test Parameters

Leukocytes

Leukocytes (leukocyte esterase, simply white blood cells - WBC) are the cells of the immune system that protect the body against infections. It is quite normal for a few white blood cells to be present in the urine. High levels of white blood cells in urine will result in a positive test result, which may suggest an infection, such as a UTI. Positive leukocytes in urine test may also indicate inflammation in the urinary tract.

Nitrite

Normal urine contains chemicals called nitrates. If bacteria enter the urinary tract, nitrates can turn into different chemicals called nitrites. Nitrites in urine may signal a urinary tract infection (UTI). However, UTIs can be present despite a negative Nitrite test. The nitrite in urine test also provides an indirect method for early detection of significant bacteriuria (bacteria in urine).

Urobilinogen

Urobilinogen is formed from the reduction of bilirubin, a yellowish substance found in the liver that helps break down red blood cells. Normal urine contains some urobilinogen (up to 1.0 mg/dL). If there is little or no urobilinogen in urine, it can mean the liver isn't working correctly. Too much urine urobilinogen (> 2 mg/dL) may indicate liver diseases such as hepatitis, cirrhosis, hemolytic anemia, or liver damage due to drugs, etc.

Protein

A protein in urine test measures the concentration of protein excreted in the urine. Proteins, usually found in blood, are substances that are essential for the body to function correctly. Protein can leak into the urine if there is a kidney problem or kidney infection, such as nephrotic syndrome. The presence of protein in the urine is named Proteinuria. A urine protein test is vital to know albumin levels to assess kidney health.

A urine pH test analyzes the acidity or alkalinity of urine. A neutral pH is 7.0. The higher the number, the more basic (alkaline) it is. The lower the number, the more acidic urine is. The pH of urine may change during the day going from acidic pH in the morning to more alkaline in the evening. Urine pH is an important marker for overall health screening. Various conclusions can be drawn about the state of health from the normal urine pH.

Blood

Blood in the urine is not a normal finding, but it is not uncommon and not necessarily a cause for alarm. Your healthcare practitioner will investigate further to determine the source and underlying cause. Blood in urine is termed Hematuria. Several factors can cause Hematuria, including UTI, kidney infection, menstruation, and strenuous exercise.

Specific Gravity

The kidneys' primary function is to maintain a healthy fluid and electrolyte balance. The specific gravity of urine measures the ability of the kidney to concentrate or dilute the urine. Urine specific gravity provides information about an individual's hydration status. Concentrated urine will have a high specific gravity, whereas dilute urine will have a low specific gravity.

Ketone

Ketones are chemicals (a type of acid) made in our liver. Everyone has them, but they're more prevalent in people who fast or are on low-carb/high-fat diets or individuals with chronic conditions like diabetes that inhibit the body's ability to produce sufficient insulin. High levels of ketones in urine (referred to as ketonuria) may indicate insufficient insulin levels and help monitor type 1 diabetes. Keeping track of ketone bodies in urine helps to monitor ketosis when on a keto diet.

Bilirubin

Bilirubin is a yellowish substance made during the body's normal process of breaking down red blood cells. Bilirubin is found in bile, a fluid in your liver that helps you digest food. If your liver is healthy, it will remove most of the bilirubin from your body. If your liver is damaged, bilirubin can leak into the blood and urine. Bilirubin in urine may be a sign of liver disease. Bilirubin levels should be tracked, e.g., using UA strips in liver patients.

Glucose

When blood is filtered in the kidneys, some sugar remains in the fluid that will later become urine. High glucose in the urine, known as glycosuria, is usually the result of abnormally high blood sugar levels. It is important to note that a urine glucose test is not a replacement for a blood glucose test. A Glucose blood test measures the glucose levels in the bloodstream. In contrast, urine glucose test strips measure the amount of glucose in urine secreted by the kidneys.

Test Parameters

Leukocytes

Leukocytes (white blood cells - WBC) are the cells of the immune system that are involved in protecting the body against both infectious diseases and foreign invaders. A few white blood cells are normally present in urine and generally yield negative results. When the number of WBCs in urine increases significantly, this screening test will become positive. High levels of WBCs in the urine suggest an infection, such as a UTI.

Nitrite

Normal urine contains chemicals called nitrates. If bacteria enter the urinary tract, nitrates can turn into different, similarly named chemicals called nitrite. The presence of Nitrite in urine indicates possible asymptomatic infections caused by nitrate-reducing bacteria, which may be a sign of a urinary tract infection (UTI). To detect UTI, the presence of Leukocytes in urine is also considered. UTI can be present despite a negative Nitrite test. The Nitrite test also provides an indirect method for early detection of significant bacteriuria (bacteria in urine).

Keep your dog healthy

This is an interesting product as it's preventative in nature - I'm not 100% if this works as I have only gotten positive results but I'll be tracking the results over time and may update my review. Overall it works as advertised and confirms my dog's health as well for the time being.

Matched the urinalysis from the vet

My dog has a problem with protein in his urine. These test strips enable me to easily and inexpensively test for protein w/o having to go to the vet. Luckily, I had a urinalysis done a couple of days before these strips arrived so was able to compare the results. The protein value was right on. The pH measured slightly higher and the specific gravity was also slightly higher. These valued could have differed due to collection method and time of day. Overall, I think these are a good adjunct to vet testing.

Good first pass to check for any issues with your cat or dog.

The hard part is collecting the urine. You can buy non absorbant cat litter (or I saw one place that said to use frozen peas, but my cat would lose his mind if I tried that). You could also get hydrophobic pool filter sand. It is a lot less stressful on your cat to collect urine this way at home rather to have the vet try to do it.I like that each one is wrapped, so you can use them over a longer period of time. A good first pass to check for any issues with your cat or dog.

Product Information

Step 1

Remove the Strip

Tear open the pouch and remove the urinalysis dipstick from the bag. Each strip is packed individually with a desiccant, ensuring a reliable test every time. (Do not touch the reagent pads or leave the strip outside for long.)

Step 2

Immerse in Sample

Immerse the strip into the urine sample and remove it immediately by dragging the edge of the strip against the container rim to remove excess urine. Always use a fresh urine specimen in a clean and dry container.

Step 3

Start Timing

Place the strip horizontally on a paper towel or tissue to remove excess urine and wait until the results are ready to be read. The first test is ready in 30 seconds. The reading time for each test is marked on the urine color chart.

Step 4

Compare

Compare the color of each test pad to the corresponding row of the urine color chart to find the closest match. Read the results from the urinalysis result interpretation chart carefully within 60 seconds in a good light.

How soon should a urine sample be tested?

Ideally, the specimen for routine urinalysis should be examined while fresh (less than 1 hour; 2 hours maximum). If this is not possible, it should be refrigerated immediately and/or have an appropriate chemical preservative added until examined. Specimens stored at room temperature will soon begin to decompose, mainly due to the presence of bacteria in the sample. Refrigerated samples should be used within 24 hours of collection.

‍

Urinalysis strip (dipstick) is a narrow plastic strip which has several square-shaped pads of different colors attached to it. Each small pad represents a component of the test used to interpret urinalysis. When dipped in the urine, pad colors change in response to the chemical characteristics of the urine. The color changes are noted at specific time intervals and compared against the reference color chart/key.

Which urine parameters indicate a urinary tract infection in pet dogs and cats?

Presence of Leukocytes and Nitrite in urine is a strong indication of a Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) in pet dogs and cats. Leukocytes refer to white blood cells. When present in urine at higher than normal concentration, they indicate an immune response (likely) due to an infection. Nitrite are chemicals that are produced by the pathogenic bacteria living in the urinary tract.

Petnox-10 urine test strips can test for both Leukocytes and Nitrite in the pet's urine.
