Non-Absorbent Reusable Cat Litter For Urine Collection - Used To Test For UTI, Kidney Failure and Diabetes In Cats - Pipette and Sample Tube Included

Poured these into a new clean litter pan and placed in usual litter pan. Kitty jumped in and sniffed around and did his business. I used the collection bottle that came with them and ready for delivery to vet.I’ve had kitties who I just set in the litter pan with the non-absorbent litter and they would use just fine but this guy wouldn’t do that. By placing the new pan with the plastic litter in it on top of used litter box, he urinated with no issues.Washed up the litter and pan, scooped up litter with a small sieve, air dried, and ready for the next time.I put one star for absorbency, even though there is absolutely NONE, because I had to put something.

First and foremost I want to start off saying that it did work... eventually. The amount given is extremely small and I was not confident that my cat would use this. After 2 days of trying to get her to pee on this, she finally did and I was able to get a sample for the doc. My cat, like most I’m sure is really picky when it comes to how much litter is available for her to step on and use. This didn’t even cover the bottom of a standard sized litter box and I wound up having to use a small aluminum tray from the dollar store so that there was enough to cover the bottom so she’d use it. For the price, I guess I was just shocked at how small the package actually was and the 3 cups of little beads given inside of the bag.

I ordered this because my cat displayed signs of a UTI and I knew my vet would need a sample. In past experience, the amount they gave me at the vet for this was pitifully small and crazy expensive. So I ordered this at the same time I made the appointment. My shipment came in 2 days as it said it would and I set it up for the cat to use. My cat used it and I got a sample with no drama, and I'm very pleased. I have washed the beads up and am currently drying them so that I can use them again in the future. I washed them in dawn dish soap and then rinsed them in vinegar so that there are no mineral deposits on them from water.

My cat took over 16 hours to finally give a urine sample. He did not like the pebbly feel at all.I knew the amount was small so bought two bags. It was easy to gather the urine with included pipette but cleaning the litter after was a royal pain. The litter being plastic had such static cling! The pebbles stuck to my Main Coons fur and I found it all over the house for days.. It stuck to the box making it extremely difficult to get out of the litter box to clean for reuse. Ended up throwing it away expensive waste would not buy again . lew

Don't expect to be getting a full pan of litter with this. If you think you might have more luck with a greater volume of false litter, order multiple sets or look for something else. If I had to estimate you're getting about a cup or two of litter with this.Our cat is particularly fussy about her litter, but even more fussy about leaving the house and going to the vet. When we had an in home visit set up, the vet requested that we attempt to gather a urine sample using a set like this.We sterilized her litter pan and put these beads in there. She steadfastly declined to make use of the odorless, thin layer of beads, but after some coaxing and stubbornness she eventually relented.The set comes with a sample collection kit too and is reusable as long as you sterilize it.

I can't speak to the function because even though I bought 2 as my quantity, there is not a fraction of the amount one would need to put a thin layer in even a modest dized littler box. What a rip-off!! I looked and looked when I was ordering but could not find anything that told me the weight or the volume in 1 order. That is why I ordered 2. Even then, there is not enough to get a Irvine sample. Our cat will definitely not go in such a tiny amount. 2 orders appears to equate 2 small cups -- maybe 1 small cupPer order that goes nowhere in any litter pan of adequate size for even an average cat. I am back to seeking another product and very disappointed.

I just used this with success to get a urine sample from my female cat. A few comments related to other reviewers. My cat is large (18 lbs) and I was a bit perplexed when I saw how little material was provided. But... I put this small sample in a fresh litter box and kept her overnight in a bathroom with water and some food - voila success. My vet had suggested I could use lentils as they do not absorb water, tried this the same night with me male cat-no luck. So he required a vet visit to get a sample. As others have indicated this is expensive, but not as expensive as a trip to the vet!

I had to get a urine sample for my cat and the vet recommended this product. The amount that came seemed very small at first, but it worked just fine and made getting the sample very easy. The cat is fussy but didn't even seem to notice that his litter changed and went right in. It is reusable but I couldn't think of any pleasant way to clean all those little plastic urine covered beads. I will definitely purchase this product again if needed.
