These are the exact same dipsticks we use in the hospital I work in.

Answer 2

I'm not educated in this subject, but I HIGHLY doubt it. Dogs have a completely different chemical makeup than humans do.

If you think your dog has a UTI, go to the vet. If you're tight on money, discuss payment plans with them. Most vets will be happy to work out a long-term payment plan.

Answer 3

worth a shot. considering we can share the same medicines with dogs, i think it might possibly work. however dogs are also much dirtier than humans are, so it might effect the result.

Answer 4

I highly doubt so.
