From time to time, your veterinarian may require you to bring in a urine sample from your sick dog. While collecting a urine sample from a person is a fairly easy task, doing the same with a dog is a little tricky. You can't force your dog to "hold it" while you get in position, nor can you make your dog aim for your container. Taking your time and paying attention to your dog's urinating habits will make this task much easier.
Instructions
1. Prepare your supplies before you take your dog out. Put your dog on a leash, your gloves on your hands (you will get urinated on) and remove the cap from your container. Hold the container in your dominant hand.
2. Take your dog outside so that it may urniate. Stay close to your dog while it finds a place to urinate.
3. Slip the plastic container under the urine stream of your dog. If your dog is male, you place the container in front of the object it is urinating on. If your dog is female, just slip the container underneath her when she squats. Do not let go of the container while you are collecting the specimen.
4. Replace the lid onto the container and take the specimen to your veterinarian. If the specimen is not taken to the doctor within two hours of collection, place it immediately in the refrigerator.
