It has a crystal structure and is not very soluble in water. Uric acid is a compound consisting of nitrogen, carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms. Not quite as big a problem, but a problem anyhow!.The difference, lies in factors like the types of hormones, metabolites and bacteria (gasp!), that are present in each species’ relative urine sample.įor instance, you typically wouldn’t expect to detect dog specific hormones in a human’s urine sample or cat metabolites in a dog’s urine sample now, would you?įurthermore let’s face it, our ‘furry friends’ don’t typically drink quite as much water as we (humans) do, so it shouldn’t be too far-fetched to expect a dog or cat’s urine sample to be several times more concentrated and subsequently more odoriferous than its human counterpart.

You probably don’t want to hand in ‘Rover’s’ urine sample in lieu of yours, to be used for that diagnostic test that is being required of you at the hospital!.By virtue of a detailed chemical analysis anyway!.a significant proportion of water (>95%).Have you ever wondered why your numerous DIY efforts to completely obliterate the foul odor of pet urine in your home have proved futile so far?īy virtue of basic urinalysis, human ‘pee’, dog ‘pee’ and cat ‘pee’ all have similar components. Prepare home-made ‘concoction’ – apply home-made ‘concoction – odor be-gone – odor return – repeat cycle!
