I found this very interesting. I have heard that dogs have been trained to smell and detect cancer in people so i can imagine that dogs being trained to smell a UTI and detect it, is also possible.

Take a look at the link....it has a good vid to watch also

Lαrα I've read about this before, I think it's brilliant! How convienient would it be if I could get my dog to take a whiff of my pee and tell me whether it's infected or not within seconds compared to sending it in to get it cultured and waiting a week to get my results!

Maybe a monkey would be more appropriate for the job. I guess detecting UTIs is kinda helpful too....
