    Abstract: The invention provides methods and devices for evaluating and tracking canine physical activity by determining for a canine (1) the duration of an activity or exercise; the speed of the activity or exercise based on the type of activity or exercise pace, e.g., walking, trotting, cantering, or running; a breed category factor to accommodate speed differences in distance travelled because of differences in body size and stride length; and an age factor and (2) calculating physical activity points (PAP) for the canine using an equation designed to accept input for the variables in (1) and use those variables to calculate PAP. The results from the equation are used to evaluate the physical activity of the canine and, based upon the evaluation, alter, if required, the canine's physical activity in a way that benefits the canine, particularly the canine's health.

    Abstract: The invention provides methods for determining if an animal's metabolism has been shifted to ketogenic status by collecting a first urine sample from the animal when the animal's metabolism is not in a ketogenic status; collecting a second urine sample from the animal when the animal's metabolism is possibly in a ketogenic status; analyzing the first urine sample and the second urine sample for beta-hydroxy butyrate; and determining that the animal's metabolism has been shifted to ketogenic status if the concentration of beta-hydroxy butyrate in the second urine sample exceeds the concentration of beta-hydroxy butyrate in the first urine sample by ten percent (10%) or more.

    Abstract translation: 本发明提供了当动物的代谢不是酮生成状态时,通过从动物收集第一尿液样品来确定动物的代谢是否已转移到致酮状态的方法; 当动物的代谢可能处于酮症状态时,从动物收集第二个尿样; 分析第一个尿液样品和第二个尿液样品的β-羟基丁酸盐; 如果第二次尿液样品中β-羟基丁酸盐的浓度超过第一个尿液样品中β-羟基丁酸的浓度10%(10%)以上,则确定动物的代谢已转移到酮症状态。

    Abstract: The invention provides methods for diagnosing chronic valvular disease in an animal. The methods comprise obtaining a sample from the animal; analyzing the sample for the presence of one or more metabolites associated with chronic valvular disease; comparing the amount of each such metabolite identified in the sample to a corresponding amount of the same metabolite present in a sample from one or more comparable control animals that do not suffer from chronic valvular disease; and using said comparison to diagnose chronic valvular disease in the animal if the metabolites found in the animal's sample is greater than or less than the amount present in the control animal's sample.
