PETS HOME tests
This line includes simple rapid tests for screening, prevention and monitoring purposes, duly certified as diagnostics tests for animals which can be performed both by veterinarians on site and by the same animal owner at home.
These tests are easy to do, cheap and non invasive for the animal.
This group of tests is dedicated to the periodic control of the PET general wellness and metabolism functions.
Glucose Metabolism
screening test in urines and monitoring
Certificates: CE self test certificate issued by Notify Body, CE conformity certificate for professional use, FDA export certificate
A single test strip to measure glucose in urine it is specially used for a first check, if the animal shows symptoms of diabetes like frequency urination, continuous drinking etc.
A color, visual test gives results in one minute to be compared to a color chart.
The main suggested use of this test is simply to screen that all is fine.
In case of abnormal values they can be signed and showed to the doctor or the dietician in the case the test is used to monitor the diet. One pouch contains 3 strips and the color chart.
Wellness PET check-
Certificates: CE self test certificate issued by Notify Body, CE conformity certificate for professional use, export certificate
A urine strip to detect in just 2 minutes: blood,glucose,and and monitor metabolism, diet balance and infections presence.
Blood – Healthy dogs and cats may have a few red blood cells in their urine, but greater than normal amounts indicate a problem. Blood in the urine (hematuria) can be due to a number of causes, including trauma, urinary tract infection, bladder stones, and blood clotting problems.
Glucose – If the glucose ( sugar ) in the blood is significantly higher than normal, ( for example, in diabetes ) some of the excess will be found in the urine.
Normal dog and cat urine should be negative for glucose on a dipstick. There are several reasons why glucose in the urine may falsely appear elevated, so it is important that any suspicious test results be repeated, and followed ( or verified ) by a blood glucose test.
Urine pH – This number is a reading of how acidic or alkaline the urine is.
Acidic urine means: meat diet; acidosis; low chloride; acidifying agents.
Alkaline urine means: vegetable based diet; bacterial infection; alkalosis; urine exposed to air for extended times; administration of alkalinizing agents; postprandial tide.

Wellness Pet check-
Certificates: CE self test certificate issued by Notify Body, CE conformity certificate for professional use, export certificate
A urine strip to detect in just 2 minutes: blood, nitrites, glucose, leukocytes, proteins,
Abnormalities in result can indicate diseases of the urinary system as well as other organ systems, including liver function, acid-
In details:
Blood
Nitrites – Nitrites may be produced by the bacteria present in some infections.
Glucose – If the glucose ( sugar ) in the blood is significantly higher than normal, ( for example, in diabetes ) some of the excess will be found in the urine. Normal dog and cat urine should be negative for glucose on a dipstick. There are several reasons why glucose in the urine may falsely appear elevated, so it is important that any suspicious test results be repeated, and followed ( or verified ) by a blood glucose test.
Leukocytes – Larger than normal numbers of white blood cells may indicate inflammation from a bladder or kidney infection.
Protein – Healthy animals will usually not have any protein in their urine, although in some cases small, trace amounts may be normal. The significance of any protein in the urine is dependent upon the specific gravity of the sample. Small amounts of protein are more significant in dilute or unconcentrated urine.
Urine pH – This number is a reading of how acidic or alkaline the urine is.
Acidic urine means: meat diet; acidosis; low chloride; acidifying agents.
Alkaline urine means: vegetable based diet; bacterial infection; alkalosis; urine exposed to air for extended times; administration of alkalinizing agents; postprandial tide.
How to get sample and to perform the test:
There are several different ways to obtain a urine sample from a cat or dog.
The most common way is to catch a sample in a clean, dry container, such as an aluminium pie pan, plastic dish, etc.
A cat's litter box can be washed, rinsed well to eliminate all traces of detergent or disinfectant, and allowed to dry.
Then use special litter available from your veterinarian.
The test is performed by simply immerge the test pads into urines for few seconds and then, 2 minutes waiting, comparing the colors of the pads with those of a color chart.
The main suggested use of this test is simply to screen that all is fine.
In case of abnormal values they can be signed and showed to the veterinarian.
One pouch contains 3 strips and the color chart.
