The Kidney Check Test for Dogs is a quick and reliable diagnostic tool for assessing kidney health by measuring protein loss in urine. This simple, at-home test helps pet owners and veterinarians detect early signs of kidney dysfunction by assessing the relationship between protein and creatinine levels in a single urine sample.

The presence of excessive protein in the urine (proteinuria) can be an early indicator of kidney damage or chronic kidney disease. By comparing the amount of protein with the creatinine level, the test determines whether the protein concentration is abnormally high relative to the expected value, which may indicate impaired kidney function.

This easy-to-use, non-invasive test provides valuable insights into your dog's kidney health and allows for early intervention if needed. It's ideal for routine monitoring of older animals or pets with suspected kidney problems.
