Three Key Benefits of the At-Home Kidney Health Test for Dogs
-
Catch Kidney Disease When Treatment Matters
Kidney disease is silent - by the time symptoms appear, 75% of kidney function is already lost. Our screening test helps you detect elevated urea levels early, when intervention can make the biggest difference. Early detection can double your dog's remaining lifespan.
-
Professional Screening at a Fraction of Vet Costs
Vet kidney panels cost $150-300 per test, and senior dogs need screening 2-4 times per year. That's up to $1,200 annually. Our at-home test gives you the same peace of mind for just less than half the price - helping you monitor your dog's health without breaking the bank.
-
Peace of Mind for Aging Companions
Dogs 7 years and older are at increased risk for kidney disease, but regular vet testing isn't always practical or affordable. Now you can screen from home, catch changes early, and give your senior dog the proactive care they deserve.

The Silent Disease That Steals Years
Chronic kidney disease generally shows no symptoms until 75% of kidney function is lost. By then, treatment options are limited. Regular screening with our at-home test helps you catch elevated urea levels early, when your vet can intervene most effectively.
Affordable Monitoring for Your Aging Companion
Senior dogs (7+ years) are at increased risk for kidney disease and benefit from quarterly screening. Our test makes regular monitoring practical and affordable, so you never have to skip a check-up due to cost.
Frequently Asked Questions
You’ve got questions, we’ve got answers.
What does this test measure?
The Kidney Health Test screens for elevated urea in your dog's saliva, an indicator for increased Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN). Urea is a waste product normally filtered by the kidneys. Elevated levels can indicate that the kidneys aren't functioning properly and may warrant veterinary follow-up.
How accurate is this compared to a vet blood test?
Our test uses clinical-grade reagent technology for reliable urea screening. While it's designed as a screening tool - not a diagnostic replacement - it provides valuable early warning signs. Any abnormal results should be confirmed with your veterinarian for full diagnosis and staging.
How often should I test my dog's kidneys?
We recommend quarterly screening for dogs 7 years and older, or dogs with breed predispositions to kidney disease. If your dog shows symptoms like increased thirst or lethargy, test immediately and consult your vet.
Is this test suitable for all dogs?
The Kidney Health Test is suitable for dogs of all breeds and sizes. It's especially valuable for senior dogs (7+ years) and breeds predisposed to kidney issues, including Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds, and Cocker Spaniels.
How quickly do I get results?
Results appear in just 2 minutes. Apply the saliva sample to the test strip, wait for the color to develop, and compare it to the reference chart included in your kit. It's that easy!

I got useful info that made our vet appointment more focused. Its not a replacement for lab work, but it helped us decide what to ask for and what to watch.
The report was clear and I liked having something tangible to share with our vet. Our dog didn’t like me sticking the test strip in his mouth, but it was manageable.
Getting a quick check at home was very convenient. It helped me feel prepared for our vet call and made it easier to explain what I was seeing day to day.
My dog was more tired than usual and had a couple of accidents inside. This test helped us check a key area of concern and feel more confident about our plan going forward.
We’ve been monitoring a few health things as my dog ages, and this was an easy add-on to our routine. I appreciate having something consistent to track and share with our vet if anything changes.
