Help! - best way to take urine sample?!

First morning wee in the pitch black down our lane with no street lighting from a male dog?!???

Zeke won't wee in the garden at all, no matter how desperate, he's so used to our walking routine! He always wee's down the lane on the way out on our walk, but it's pitch black on a morning walk still (got to leave for work early all this week, and Paul always does anyway), and I keep missing! I use a 1l squash bottle chopped in half but STILL i missed and got it all over my hand and down my sleeve!

Day 3 now!

He needs his liver testing

When Max needed one before I used an ice cream tub, it's a much bigger area than a squash bottle so chances are most of it will go in. Good luck!

It does yeah, would be fine if it didn't have to be, least I could see where the wee was shooting! (and not up my sleeve!)

Of course! thanks xxx only thing I could find was a few baking bowls and pans, but Paul went mad when he saw me trundling out the house with one in my hand .

Ice-cream on the shopping list!

When we had to do this with Ollie it was difficult as he was squatting and very low to the ground. We broght a little contraction from the vets can't remember its name sorry.

It is like a litte scoop and you unscrew the cap of the sample bottle it fits to the little scoop and you put the scoop under the dog he wee's in the scoop and it travels striaght into the bottle. Amazing it cost about £3 I think.
