Correlation between urine color and urine specific gravity in dogs: Can urine color be used to identify concentrated urine?
Year: 2018
Type: article
Abstract: This combined retrospective-prospective study evaluated the correlation between canine urine color (UC) and urine specific gravity (USG). Urine color was positively correlated with USG, but the relationship was not significantly improved by use of a UC chart. Urine color as an indicator of USG is limited as 20% of dark-yellow samples had a USG < 1.030.
