How it Works
Testing your cat’s kidney health from home
-
Take out a test strip
Each test comes with two strips, just in case your precious cat thinks the first one is a snack.
-
Rub it along their gums
Nothing crazy. You just need to get it wet. Sliding it around for about 5 seconds should be enough.
-
Wait 2 minutes & get your results!
Match your cat’s sample with the color-scoring scale on the box to get your results and guidance on what to do next.
Kidney Test FAQs
What is the function of our At-Home Kidney Health Test?
- The Petivity At-Home Kidney Health Test for Cats measures urea levels in your pet’s saliva in just two minutes, helping identify changes in kidney health.
- Urea, a waste product from protein breakdown, is a crucial indicator of kidney function. If you notice elevated levels on your pet’s test, we encourage you to speak with your veterinarian about further testing.
Is it a substitute for blood work?
- The Petivity At-Home Kidney Health Test for Cats and Dogs complements regular lab work but doesn't replace it.
- Elevated results suggest consultation with a vet for further testing. High levels of urea in your pet’s saliva can result from various conditions.
How do I administer the test?
- The Petivity At-Home Kidney Health Test is a saliva test. To collect a sample and get your results, remove one of the test strips from the package, and rub the pad of the test strip along your cat’s gumline for 5 seconds on each side of the mouth to get it fully wet.
- Start a timer for 2 minutes. When time is up, immediately compare the color of the test strip pad to the color-scoring scale on the test package to get your Final Result and our recommendation.
- Do not leave the test strip unattended in your cat’s mouth. Avoid damaging the pad on your cat’s teeth or tongue. If the pad does become damaged, repeat the test with a new test strip.
