High

Blood detected in your dog's urine — possible UTI, stones, or other issues.

Blood in urine (hematuria) can be caused by urinary tract infections, bladder stones, prostate disease (in males), trauma, coagulopathy, or neoplasia. The dipstick also detects hemoglobin, which can indicate hemolysis.

What to do:

Your vet will examine a urine sediment to look for RBCs, WBCs, crystals, and bacteria. A urine culture may be needed. If no sediment abnormalities are seen (suggesting hemoglobinuria), a CBC and chemistry panel may be warranted.
