Assessing Your Pet at Home

 Urine Colour Check: Super easy to check during winter on the snow. A little harder in the summer but if you place a pee pad underneath or near the area he /she will pee  you may get a good idea of how things are as well as how hydrated your pet is. 

Feces Check: It can give you an idea of how well your pet's stomach is able to digest the food, treat, or table scrap that you, may have given. 

Level 2  is perfect normal stool, that is what you should look for. 

If its more on the side of  Level 3 then keep an eye on it make sure it is not getting softer. Decrease the amount or times you give the food, treat, or table scrap.
