Cat Peeing Outside the Litter Box, Straining, or Producing Bloody Urine?
Urinary problems are one of the most common reasons cat owners visit the vet — and they range from simple infections to serious conditions like bladder stones and feline lower urinary tract disease (FLUTD). The Kedi Labs UTI BioScreen & Culture for Cats provides a complete urinalysis with automatic culture and sensitivity testing, so your cat gets the right diagnosis and treatment.
What's Included
| Test Component | Category | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Complete Urinalysis | Diagnostic | Physical, chemical, and microscopic exam including pH, specific gravity, glucose, ketones, bilirubin, casts, crystals, RBCs, WBCs, and bacteria. |
| Automatic Culture & Sensitivity | Infection ID | If infection signs are found, urine is automatically cultured to identify the bacteria and determine which antibiotics will be most effective. |
| Sterile Hydrophobic Litter Kit | Collection | Special litter that repels urine, making collection from cats simple and non-invasive. |
Sample Requirements
Urine: Replace your cat's regular litter with the included sterile hydrophobic litter. Once your cat urinates, collect the sample using the provided syringe and container.
Pro Tip: Place the hydrophobic litter in a clean, empty litter box. Most cats will use it within 12 hours. Collect the sample as soon as possible for best results.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the symptoms of a UTI in cats?
Straining to urinate, frequent trips to the litter box, crying while urinating, bloody or cloudy urine, and urinating outside the litter box.
Could it be something other than a UTI?
Yes. FLUTD, bladder stones, and crystals can produce similar symptoms. The complete urinalysis screens for all of these conditions.
Do I need to see a vet for this test?
No. You collect the sample at home using the hydrophobic litter and ship it to our lab.
