Plain-English summary
Urine analysis may help evaluate urinary, kidney, diabetes-related, hydration, or infection concerns.
What it is
Urine analysis looks at a urine sample for clues about urinary tract health, kidney function, diabetes-related changes, hydration, crystals, blood, protein, or infection concerns. It can be part of laboratory services or a senior pet health review.
Why it matters
Changes in drinking, urination, accidents, or general health can make urine testing worth discussing. Results may help guide the next steps with a veterinarian.
How mobile veterinary care helps
During a house call, Dr. Sergey can discuss whether sample collection or laboratory testing may be useful, and can explain how results may help guide care, monitoring, or referral decisions.
When to ask about it
Ask about urine analysis if your pet urinates more or less than usual, has accidents, drinks more, is older, or needs evaluation for kidney, urinary, or diabetes concerns.
