Cat Urine pH Testing Overview

Insta Test pH Value Test Particles for Cats

• The Insta Test pH Value Test Particles are designed to quickly measure the pH of a cat's urine.
• This allows for early detection of potential health issues.
• The test particles change color based on the pH level.
• Quick color rendering assures quick results.
• Results are clear and easily read
• Good color retention shows results stay visible for easy observation.
• The normal pH range for cat urine is 5-7.
• Diet and diseases influence urine pH.
• Medicine, stress and exercise can change pH levels.
• Abnormal pH values indicate potential health issues, especially urinary tract diseases and kidney diseases.
• Urine pH testing helps identify potential health issues early and guide care for cats.

Reasons for Acidic Urinary pH in Cats

• Dietary causes: Cats fed raw food may have slightly acidic urine due to high meat intake.
• Disease effects: Urinary tract stones, diabetes, leukemia, fever, gout, and emphysema can cause acidic urine.
• Metabolic acidosis/Respiratory acidosis: Can lead to acidic urine.
• Drug influence: Ammonium chloride, Vitamin C, and some other medicines can increase acidity in urine.

Reasons for Alkaline Urinary pH in Cats

• Dietary causes: Commercial cat food containing grains and vegetables can cause slightly alkaline urine.
• Disease effects: Frequent vomiting, urinary tract infection, cystitis, metabolic alkalosis, and chronic glomerulonephritis can cause alkaline urine.
• Renal tubular acidosis: Chronic kidney disease

Accurate Urine pH Value Detection in Cats

• Core technology detects pH value, based on color changes.
• High sensitivity color rendering. Quick color changes based on urine pH.
• Clear and lasting results for easy pH interpretation. The particles show orange-yellow for acidic urine, green for neutral, and blue for alkaline urine.

Sensitive Color Reaction for Easy Result Interpretation

• Different color rendering based on different pH values make result interpretation easy.
• Acidic/alkaline urine indicates potential diseases, prompting timely veterinary care and management.
• Testing and observing the situation ensures appropriate measures.

Sensitive Color Rendering and Accurate pH Range

• The particles change color quickly and clearly based on the pH of the urine.
• The pH range (5-7) of healthy cat urine is suitable for the test particles to clearly show normal, acidic, or alkaline urine.
• The more acidic or alkaline the urine is, the darker the color change.

Black Technology for 24 Hour Cat Urine pH Monitoring

• Cat litter companion, designed for urine detection in the home.
• Compatible with common cat litter types (like tofu sand or vegetable sand).
• Helps detect potential health issues without stress to the cat.

Additional Information

• Dr.vet + MIAO MIAO TEST: A specific brand of pH value test particles.
• Hospital Physical Examination: Considered an alternative method to urine testing; it has its own set of issues like, inability to reliably collect the sample, causing stress to the animals or the need for hospitalization.
