Veterinary technicians: Hold on, that ain't chicken broth

Collect urine easily with this common household utensil.

I use a soup ladle to collect urine, especially from small female dogs. There's no danger of spilling on your hands, it's reusable, and you can easily store it on a hook. This means less stooping, and the dogs feel less crowded in their personal space during collection.
