Ascensia Bayer Ketostix Diagnostic Urine Test Strip

Product Information

Ketostix® Reagent Test Strips for Urinalysis provide a quick, efficient and convenient way of testing for the presence and concentration of ketone (Acetoacetic Acid) in your pets urine. When you restrict or limit carbs from your diet, your body produces ketones from fat, resulting in the physiological state of ketosis. If there is too little insulin in the bloodstream to help the glucose get into cells, the body looks for other kinds of fuel to burn. Additional customs duties or taxes may apply for international shipments depending on the recipient country's regulations. These urine strips are reliable and sensitive, meaning they can detect even small amounts of ketones.

The Ketostix strips can be visually assessed quickly and easily thanks to the clear and bright color scale. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. By comparing the color change with the color chart on the package, the amount of ketones in the urine can be determined.This means the packaging is plain, there is no mention of what product is inside your package and there is no mention of Chemist4U either.
