My vet has asked for a urine sample from my dog. How do I do this?
Obtaining a urine sample can be difficult, but you only need to 'catch' a relatively small amount. Get a clean container that you have washed thoroughly and rinsed out with previously boiled water. Clean a tin foil take-away container in the same way. Wearing plastic gloves, quickly whip the tin foil container into the dog's urine flow, and then with a bit of manipulation of the take-away container, pour the urine into the clean container. The vet will be able to rule out quite a lot of conditions with a urine sample.
