The HygieCatch allows for accurate measurements of many different parameters. These include measurements of your dog’s Urobilinogen, Glucose, Bilirubin, Ketones, Specific Gravity, Blood, pH, Protein, Nitrite and Leukocytes. You can also learn whether your dog may be suffering from a urinary tract infection or UTI for short. This can then be investigated or ignored depending on the results.

What are the benefits of using a dog urine catcher?
Collecting a urine sample from your dog can be a very long-winded, complicated and messy process, but not any more. The HygieCatch makes collecting urine samples easy so that you can get your pets checked in no time. No more chasing your pets around the garden with a jug trying to catch some of their urine. With the added bonus of being able to test for infections from the comfort of your own home, the HygieCatch is an excellent, hygienic solution to many different potential issues. If for some reason your pet will not urinate on the collection device, which can happen, you can use the collection device as a cup, providing a more hygienic option for collecting the urine. Then, you can still use the test kit provided with the Hygiecatch kit to test their urine.
Do you need a vet to collect a dog's urine sample?
With the HygieCatch, you do not need a vet visit to effectively collect and test a sample of your dog's urine.

After collecting the sample, you can get in touch with PocketVet by starting a consultation, included for free with the kit. A vet at PocketVet will provide you with a thorough assessment, and refer you to your local vet if a hands-on assessment and antibiotic treatment are required.
