What is Hyperuricosuria (HUU)?

Hyperuricosuria (HUU) is an inherited autosomal recessive disorder. Affected dogs have elevated levels of uric acid in their urine which accumulates and can form stones in the bladder or sometimes in the kidneys. These stones often require surgery to remove them.

Symptoms usually present when the dog is around 3-6 years old and include blood in the urine, difficulty or pain when urinating, or frequent small amounts of urine.

Extreme cases occur when a stone completely blocks the urethra and affected dogs will strain to urinate, vomit and display a loss of appetite, weakness and lack of energy due to the build up of toxins in the body.

What will Hyperuricosuria DNA Test Results Tell You?

Using a simple swab from the inner cheek of your dog, we will ascertain whether your dog carries the mutation associated with Hyperuricosuria. We will also inform you whether or not your dog is a carrier of the mutated gene, which allows you to make an informed choice as to whether or not to breed from the dog.

Once we receive the dog’s buccal swabs, we undertake tests that will give one of three possible outcomes:

  1. A CLEAR result shows that the dog has inherited two genes from its parents that are mutation free. The dog will not develop Hyperuricosuria and cannot pass faulty genes on to any offspring.
  2. A CARRIER result indicates that the dog has inherited one normal copy of the relevant gene, and one mutation. This means that the dog has a strong likelihood of passing on the condition to offspring, but not of developing the condition itself. Where a potential mate also carries the gene mutation, any offspring will be at high risk of developing the condition and also of passing it on.
  3. An AFFECTED result indicates that the dog has inherited two copies of the mutated gene from its parents and is highly likely to develop bladder stones over the course of its lifetime. It will definitely pass on the mutation to any offspring.

Dog Allergy Testing Kit Review
Hello Team, I would love to thank all involved in testing my dog allergies. Since that test she finally lives her life itch free as it enabled us to avoid products causing her allergic reaction. I am very grateful for this report as her health massively improved after we removed all listed products from her diet. Since that time I have been suggesting other dog owners which battle similar issue to use your service. 5* from Blue.

Dog Allergy Test Kit Review
We had our dog allergy tested with you last year. We were advised that it is not a good enough test by our vet and many others online. This however couldn't be more wrong. We used the results to remove foods from her diet and even hypo-allergenic shampoos etc. Since she turned 1 years old we had her allergy tested by blood at the vet to see if she had out grown any of these allergies. The results were exactly the same as we were given by yourselves. Everything in red she is still allergic to. Without your help I'm not sure how we would of been able to help her in her first year. Especially given that she is allergic to almost everything hypoallergenic.

Dog Allergy Testing Review
Please forward my praise to your superiors with regards to your customer attention - thank you for all the communication at all times, and making sure all OK. Much appreciated. 1 day into eliminating salmon oil from her diet (daily supplement I was giving her for for her arthritis) and the turkey menus she is considerably better, all in 24 hrs. Can’t wait to see how she improves within a few weeks of elimination.
