Make sure that you use a clean plastic container. Your vet may provide you with one or you may use a clean margarine dish or something similar. A pie plate works best for female dogs.
Keep in mind that a fresh specimen is best. Anything more than 12 hours old will not provide accurate results.
If you can’t bring in the specimen within an hour of collecting it, make sure to place it in the refrigerator.
