When urine pH becomes alkaline, there is a posibility of struvite bladder stones due to crystallization of phosphorous and magnesium.
When urine pH becomes acidic, there is a possibility of bladder stones due to crystallization of calcium.
If the urine specific gravity value is higher than normal value, thers is a possibility of diabetes and dehydration.
If the urine specific gravity value is lower than normal value, there is a possibility of diabetes insipidus, which means the kidney is not able to properly concentrate urine.
In recent years, the aging of cats and dogs has progressed, and more diseases/health issues are found as age increases.
Normal value differs depending on pet categories.
Below are some general ranges of urine specific gravity for pets:
Urine specific gravity represents the weight of urine when water is 1.
* For dogs and cats, there is a popssibility of renal failure if the value is from 1.008~1.020.
How can you protect
your pet's health?
Since animals do not speak, it's hard to notice changes in their health.
The third leading cause of death in dogs: renal failure
The second leading cause of death in cats: renal failure
ATAGO'S urine specific gravity meter enables you
to quickly detect small changes
in your pet's health in an easy way!
There's no need to put pressure
on the bladder to encourage urination or use a catheter.
Just use the natural urine sample!
Collect your pet's urine.

The scale used for dog and cat urine specific gravity is based on the scale mainly used in the United States.
* Please note that it does not match the specific gravity value when measuring liquids other than urine.
The specific gravity correlation with refractive index changes depending on the subject. There are different scales for human, dogs, cats, and more.
* See graph

Owners might wonder how to get urine from pet.
It's easier than it seems!
Use Paper Cups
Use
A Vinyl Sheet
Use a Litter
Box System
When your pet urinates, put a paper cup under him/her.
Prepare a vinyl sheet on pet's litterbox and collect the accumulated urine.
When using a vinyl sheet, adjust amount of litter and the position of the vinyl sheet so that they do not mix together.
Fill the uppper part with litter and keep the lower box empty or place plastic wrap for easy cleanup.
How much urine do I need to test?
Only about 0.3ml is needed per measurement!
Place the sample on the sample stage and measure.
What is the warranty of the device?
Manufacturer's Warranty is 1 year, but can be extended to 2 years if registered!
Can I measure U.S.G of a cat's urine with a dog device?
The scales for dogs and cats are different, so please use a dedicated equipment for each
What should I do after measurement?
Clean the area around the prism and sample stage with rubbing alcohol.
Taking your pet to the veterinarian means paying various fees for medical exams, admissions, treatment, surgery, and more.
And those veterinarian fees tend to be expensive!
Also, if your pet develops kidney desease or other issues, there is no full recovery, so long term treatment is needed.
There is data that shows veterinarian costs to be around $3,000 annualy !
It is said that 80% of older cats develop kidney diseases, so it is important to
check their urine on a daily basis.
Kidney stone disease is when solid kidney stoness are created in the kidney, urinary tract, or bladder.
These can block the urethra or damage both the urethra and bladder.
There are two typical types of stones that are common in cats: "struvite" and "calcium oxalate".
They occur when there is an increase of minerals such as magnesium, phosphorous, calsium, and an unbalanced urine pH.
Manage your pet health by measuring urine pH regularly!
pH is represented on a scale from 0-14.
When pH is lower than 7, it is closer to acidic, and conversely, when pH is higher than 7, it is closer to alkaline.
Collect your pet's urine.
