CheckUp at Home Cat Wellness Test Kit | 2lb Hydrophobic Litter keeps urine on top, 2 Test Strips for The Detection of The 4 Most Common Health Indicators - pH, Protein, Glucose, Blood in urine

I hardly ever write reviews on products, but this one really saved me so I thought I would write about my experience for all the other cat people. My house reeked of cat pee since my girl had been randomly peeing in random places. I took her to the vet and they told me to buy some plastic litter and bring them a urine sample because it would be more expensive if they had to go in her bladder and extract it themselves, so I tried to get her to use the plastic litter I bought at the vet, she refused. Then she stopped peeing for awhile so I thought the problem had resolved itself. Nope, I woke up to my @%^&%# cat peeing on my head and neck! I was so pissed off and frustrated with her, I wanted to kill her!!! (I would never) I researched why my cat would being peeing everywhere, the website said that it could be stress, changes, dietary problems, or health issues (kidney and UTI). So I ended up looking up on Amazon for a product that would help me determine what the problem is without having to pay another $60 for a 15 minute visit. So I bought the kit and used it immediately the next morning, I put my cat in the bathroom (took out all the rugs of course) and left for work. I came home later that day and she used the bathroom on the hydrophobic sand. Great! I got the test strip and dipped it in her urine and low and behold, she had increased protein, her pH levels were off the chart. So I looked it up and turns our she had a UTI. At the same time I purchased this kit, I suspected it was a UTI so I purchased BestLife4Pets Cat UTI Urinary Tract Infection Treatment; All Natural Homeopathic. I gave her 3 pills a day which dissolved easily but still had to hold her down while she cried. But it was easy peesy and ever since I started giving her those pills, she stopped peeing everywhere. I am so thankful for this kit! The amount of sand you get is not a whole lot, so I think the kit could be a little cheaper but overall, it worked like a charm!

Works as advertised, very good instructions. It is used by veterinarians, so that is assuring.Our cat buried his "business" very well, but the urine drained into the corners of the litter box and it was very easy to take up with the included syringe.Our cat was negative on all ill effects. I highly recommend this product to check your cat periodically to determine if a ventranary vist is needed.Cats don't speak human and they can't tells us when they are feeling badly. All they can say is, "F-n' Meow!"The kit includes two test strips and a rubber capped vial so you can take the sample to the vet for confirmation.The non absorbent litter comes in 3 packages, you use all 3, there isn't much litter but enough to last 2 days or so - so your can spread out the two tests. After that, toss this non absorbent litter and put in your regular fresh litter. Your cat will appreciate that.

My cat had not been using the litter box properly and eating a little less. I thought it was just environmental stress because it eventually stopped. I wanted to be sure that everything was fine so I bought this test to rule out a UTI. The test was easy to use and the test results matched exactly what the vets did. Abnormal protein and blood in the urine. It wasn’t a UTI but a potential feline idiopathic cystitis diagnosis. My cat has had many inflammatory issues in the last year in different areas of her body and the vets are trying to connect the dots. This test will be a life saver if you’re someone who is constantly fighting between yet another vet visit/bill or fighting your own anxiety. The test could be better by providing more litter and additional test strips other than just two.

I was hesitant to buy this because everybody said there wasn't very much litter. However you don't need a lot. You don't want too much litter because it's much easier to get the sample with less litter. I pulled out the old litter and the bag it was in and put this directly in the litter box with no liner and it just barely covered the bottom it was a very very thin layer. I heard him using the litter box I immediately went and checked and the urine just ran off of it and went to the corner. Super easy to get the sample I was able to get it to the vet within a couple of hours. Yes it's kind of expensive but it's way easier than trying to get a cat urine sample without it. Most cats aren't even going to try to use a litter box that has nothing in it. I used all three little bags because his litter box is quite large. If you need a quick sample I would 10 out of 10 recommend this. Once you get your sample you remove it and put normal litter back in. The $18 I paid was well worth it. It saved me so much time and stress trying to get a sample!!!

The product works good, it’s just overpriced. Very expensive for the small amount that you get.

This product is Absolutely greaaaaatThank you so much 🙏🏻👍

As someone who works in a doctors office with real test strips I was really excited to see these. They actually seem like a great product until you really dig in. It’s hard to tell from the images but this really is a tiny amount of litter. The entire box is about the size of a softball (little bigger than a baseball. This wasn’t enough to even create a temporary litter box so the cats wouldn’t even use it as is. After improvising the collection and letting the strips soak and then develop, the strips never matched the chart. Then the strips had a different expiration date on the outside of the box (which was about 7 months from purchase. This probably isn’t so bad for this kit but I figured this would be a good product and bought the pack of refill strips too which test for more conditions. Then the “normal” range on the chart doesn’t match what’s consisted normal in the Merck Vet manual.Overall I just had such high hopes and I now have almost zero confidence in the results now. Would not recommend until they increase litter amount and fix the quality issues.

Absolute life saver! It is SO hard to get my cat to the vet. He becomes incredibly stressed, upset, scared, aggressive, etc. He is also incredibly smart and I was certain he would refuse to use this. BUT this litter worked like a charm and allowed me to monitor his health at home. I do recommend getting the 10-item monitor. I only purchased the 4-item initially and it did not catch his UTI. Luckily the local pet store had the 10-item one that did catch the UTI.

The urine floats on top. It is amazing. We just tried it and my cat was fine. She only had stomach problem. Saved money on a lot of useless tests.

Easy to use, although pipette and test tube a bit small - however loved the second strip just in case. The protein marker was difficult to read due to very similar colours but thought there was an issue. We tested our cat, he used the litter as normal stuff (use alone - no other litter. Don't be deterred by lack of coverage. We have extra large cat -6.8kg - so extra large litter tray, sparse cover, still worked well) we thought possible urinary infection as blocked 1 year ago and was (sorry graphic) grooming his penis in a way he hasn't before. Test suggested ph problem (UTI) and protein in urine (kidney problem). Straight to vet who confirmed PH imbalance possible cystitis, possible early diagnosis of kidney disease.... that was after blood tests and further urine analysis. So for an extremely nervous stressed out cat this worked well to test before subjecting him to the severe stress of a visit to the vet. Although that is where it ulimately led! Will buy again!! Thank you.

Fast shipping. It looks like a good product. I haven't needed to use it yet but I hear it works very well.

I tested my cat when she began urinating around the house. The test came up positive for protein and was later confirmed at the vets. It is a good starting place, to see if your cat needs further investigation.

Performed this test on a urine sample from my one year old male Scottish fold because he was exhibiting a new behavior (genital licking) and I am SO glad I did.Took him to the vet because of the results and he was diagnosed with a bladder infection and struvite crystal formation. They said that if I didn't take him in when I did his urinary tract could have become plugged which could have been fatal if unnoticed. He is now on medication, his food has been switched and he is doing well. I would have taken him into the vet even if this test came back negative, but who knows how bad the infection would have gotten by that time.Not sure how accurate this test is, but it seems to be good enough to at least alert you there is something going on with kitty.Overall, very easy to use and I would highly recommend all cat owners to have one of these on hand.
