My dog is afraid to pee. How do I get a urine sample for the vet?

Question

The vet asked for a urine sample last week but my dog is weird about her bum being touched etc. So it is a week later and I still haven't got a sample. Every time I try and get one she realised and runs away. It has got to the point where she feels scared to go in the garden for a wee because she feels like I'm going to do something.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Leti. I would give her a break for a few days so that she starts urinating normally again. Then I recommend using an old soup ladle to collect the urine. It allows you to be a little further away from her and not have to swoop in when she starts to go. Just hold the ladle under her and hopefully this will be a less stressful way to collect her urine. Good luck!
