Free Kidney Urine Test for Cats aged over 10
Free Kidney Urine Test for Cats | Early Kidney Disease Screening | Cara Veterinary Group Dublin
Cara Veterinary Group offers a FREE Kidney Urine Test for cats aged 10 years and older at our Dublin clinics. This quick, non-invasive screening helps detect early signs of kidney disease so your cat can receive timely care and live a longer, healthier life.
Free Kidney Health Screening for Senior Cats
Kidney disease is one of the most common health conditions affecting older cats, and early detection is essential. At Cara Veterinary Group, we provide a free annual kidney urine test for cats aged 10 and over to identify early kidney issues before symptoms appear.
This simple urine test measures your cat’s ability to concentrate urine, which is often one of the first indicators of kidney disease. Early diagnosis allows us to begin management and support right away, improving your cat’s comfort and quality of life.
How the Free Cat Kidney Test Works
Taking part is easy and stress-free for both you and your cat:
- Collect a free reusable urine-sample kit from either of our Dublin locations.
- Collect your cat’s urine sample at home using the kit provided.
- Return the sample to us within 24 hours of collection (store in the fridge until drop-off).
- We’ll analyse the sample to check your cat’s urine concentration — a key early marker of kidney health.
- Call us 24–48 hours later for your results and next steps.
*If the sample is dropped off on a Saturday, please call the following Monday for your results.
Why Early Detection Matters
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) develops gradually, and many cats show no obvious signs until the condition is advanced. Detecting reduced urine concentration early allows us to slow progression through:
- Dietary changes tailored to kidney health
- Hydration support and supplements
- Monitoring and follow-up care plans
Early testing means your cat can continue to enjoy a happy, active life with the right support.
