Study Notes
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.
