Reliable Glucose Monitoring for Pets
Managing pet diabetes starts with consistent and reliable glucose testing. Our pet glucose meters and test strips are ideal for both at-home blood sugar checks and in-clinic monitoring. Designed for accuracy and ease of use, these devices are perfect for tracking trends and responding to insulin needs.
Essential Diagnostic Tools Include:
- Pet Glucose Monitors: Accurate and easy-to-use meters tailored for dogs and cats
- Glucose Test Kits: Complete sets with meter, strips, and lancets
- Glucose Monitoring Strips: High-sensitivity strips for real-time results
- Lancet Devices & Refills: For comfortable, controlled blood sampling
- Pet Blood Glucose Meters: Vet-trusted for managing feline and canine diabetes
When to Use Glucose Monitoring Devices
Regular blood sugar checks are essential for pets receiving insulin treatments like Vetsulin, ProZinc, or Lantus for cats. Fluctuating glucose levels can lead to complications if not caught early, so glucose tracking is often recommended daily or weekly, especially after changing insulin dosages.
Symptoms that may require immediate testing:
- Lethargy or sudden weakness
- Vomiting or poor appetite
- Seizures or tremors
- Excessive thirst and urination
How to Use a Pet Glucose Meter
- Insert a glucose test strip into the meter
- Use the lancet device to draw a small blood sample (usually from the ear or paw)
- Apply the blood to the strip and wait for results
- Record your pet’s blood glucose levels for your vet’s reference
- Use the data to adjust insulin if needed (under veterinary guidance)
All devices come with step-by-step instructions, and many models feature memory storage, easy-read displays, and alerts for high or low readings.
FAQs about All Diagnostics Devices for Your Pet
What is the best glucose monitor for dogs or cats?
Veterinary-specific devices like the AlphaTrak or other pet-designed glucose monitors offer the best accuracy for dogs and cats compared to human meters.
How often should I test my diabetic pet’s glucose levels?
Your vet will guide you, but daily testing is often recommended during the early phases of insulin treatment or when symptoms change.
Can I use a human glucose monitor on my pet?
Some human monitors may work, but accuracy is reduced due to different blood chemistry. For reliable results, we recommend using pet-specific glucose monitors.
What is a normal blood glucose level in pets?
For dogs, 75-120 mg/dL is ideal, whereas for cats, 80-120 mg/dL is recommended. Levels above 200 mg/dL consistently may indicate poor insulin control.
