When a dog is sick or uncomfortable, he cannot actively seek help from his owner. If the owner does not observe carefully, he often misses the best time for treatment. In fact, for some diseases, owners can obtain health information through their dog’s urine.

1. Normal urine

Light yellow: Puppies generally urinate more frequently, but adult dogs can control it, about 2-3 times a day. The frequency of peeing will also change as the weather changes, as well as with differences in fluid intake and whether or not a dog is neutered.

2. Abnormal urine red urine

Blood in the urine is usually called hematuria. This is the breakdown of a muscle protein called "myosin" or a protein called "heme" in the blood. Usually acute trauma, poisoning, blood parasites, kidney disease, bladder disease, stones, etc. can cause hematuria.

1. Yellow urine

It may be that there is bilirubin in the urine. The concentration of bilirubin in urine will increase when red blood cells are destroyed and liver disease occurs. If your eyes, skin or gums also turn yellow or orange at the same time, you should take them to your veterinarian immediately. Of course, heat or some pigmented foods can also cause dog urine to turn yellow.

　2. Colorless and turbid urine

After drinking a lot of water, urine becomes clear because a large amount of urine is produced. Cloudy urine may be an infection because mucus and bladder cells are mixed in the urine and expelled. Kidney disease caused by some reasons may lead to the above situation. If there is anuria or polyuria, then in-depth examinations such as biochemistry and routine urinalysis are necessary.

Dogs will suffer from some diseases without special symptoms as they age, so as an owner, you should detect and treat them early to prevent the disease from getting worse and endangering the dog's life. Therefore, if conditions permit, you can take your dog to a professional physical examination center for examination every year to ensure the dog's health.
