Ah, the art of getting a urine sample! I used to be a vet tech and lots of people would just bring their dogs in and we would get it for them. But if you want to do it yourself, just get a clean container (we used plastic tupperware/rubbermaid) and stick it under them while they're peeing! I think the short, wide containers work the best. And as someone else said, you should get the urine to the vet fairly quick because it should be fresh. And yes, your neighbors/family will think you are crazy for chasing the dog around with a tupperware container while shouting "Come on, PEE"!

Hey Michael- just read your response. They will take a sterile sample (by drawing urine from the bladder with a syringe) only if they are going to send the urine to a lab or if they cannot get a sample from the pet. If they are going to run an in-house urinalysis, they will just get them to pee in a clean container- doesn't have to be sterile.
