To prepare for your appointment, make sure to put the ice pack from the Sample Kit into the freezer 48 hours before your appointment. The evening before the appointment, pick up your dog’s food bowl so that they do not have food in the 12 hours before your appointment. The morning of your appointment, pull out your frozen ice pack and add it back into the cooler. If you want to bring either urine or fecal samples with you to the vet, you will need to collect them in the hour before the appointment. As you go out the door to the appointment, do not forget to bring your Sample Kit—and your dog—along for the ride!
For more information, refer to the Sample Kit Guidelines for Owners.
