Precisely.
We get 3 or 4 'She seems fine, but I saw blood in her urine yesterday' cases a week when there is snow. That would be an unusual history, barring an accident in the house, in the summer. - Dr. Mac

Sorry, let me clarify...I don't mean MINE as in ME, I mean MINE as my puppies. Thought I better set the record straight. I generally don't make a habit of peeing in snow.
so glad you clarified- I was wondering
mostly reading posts at lunch and not replying but couldn't help myself with that one

It is because owners see the color change in the snow ie red. Truthful, most owners aren't as observant as people on this forum with with their dogs. It takes a flashing sign of them to realize there is a problem, it had probably been there a long time.

So bright yellow pee is ok? I've been worrying over whether it might means he's not purging toxins or waste well enough and have been making chicken soup to encourage more water intake!

Okay, so no snow in Singapore as far as I remember (lol)!
What I can say about human pee is - if you are using an energy saver white light bulbs (or flurescent ones) it could show up yellower. If the bladder is full and been held on for a while it is a bit more concentrate and yellower (eg morning pee). And of course it matters what you drink (coloured cordial for eg - maybe even chicken soup...) and even eat (beets for eg).
Oh no, I'm sensing a whole new thread with song and dance numbers on pee!

we had some snow this morning. I did a pee check. Baileys morning pee was bright and yellow. Looks good to me.

I'm sure SheltieGuy has something to say about this....where are you!?
p.s. I think odour is more of a determining factor than colour....at least it is with human pee, as far as I know! (So now I have visiions of us all going out with our soup ladles, capturing a sample and giving it the "sniff test") Oh my!

LOL! No snow here to pee on (I might do it meself just for kicks! Once. Only once!!)
Ok so sounds like it's not a problem. Phew! I'll .. er.. give it a sniff later tonight to see if it smells funky. Won't smell like a bed of roses either that's for sure!

Yes, this is true. Pee is pee, after all!
But I think you want to sniff for a fishy/funky smell, as opposed to the acidic amonia smell that we're used to. So, we've covered off...what poo consistency and colour should be (multi-colour or green is bad), what colour and smell should pee have? Is there any stone left un-turned here? Sheltie-Guy? You'll have to lead us here....
