Diabetes Blood Glucose Monitoring Kit for Dogs and Cats - Complete Starter Kit

This is my first monitor for my dog with diabetes. It was easy to setup, came as a complete kit with everything to start monitoring her blood glucose. Arrived in great condition, sealed and packaging was excellent. I would highly recommend this monitor for your dog or cat. Easy setup for dog or cat. Screen is large enough to see all numbers and settings. The complete kit had lancets and strips along with control solution. Could not be easier!

I never could us it. I don't know you guys but my dog never let me use it on her. And it was impossible to use for me. And I had a diabetic grandma, I use to help her with the injections when I was a kid. Like 7 years old. So... Your call.

Terrible product! Requires a very large amount of blood but lancing device is inadequate. Gave me the same error 5 times stating there wasn't enough blood even when we had a large drop. I've tested blood sugars for years using many devices. Never had so many problems with a glucometer! My poor puppy got poked 5 times with no result.

It took time but I got the meter and amount of blood needed down. The original lancet device that came in with the package did not work but they're sending another, which is so helpful. I have to say all the costs involved with a newly diagnosed cat, this meter was so affordable and has helped us stay on track with insulin dose amounts!

Product itself is easy to use and comes with everything required, the Lancing Device isn't the best but with some trial and error works fine. Biggest frustration is Error 7 (not enough blood) but again that comes down to understanding the requirements and practice when to dive in the test stick. Once everything clicks into place it works so not complaining.

The monitor requires too much blood for an animal, it kept erroring and I wasted 4 tests strips trying!! The lancet device does NOT push hard enough to puncture the skin, causing too small amount of blood. I got a different lancet device and it works better, but unfortunately I lost several expensive test strips in the process and had to get a new lancet device. This kit only comes with 10 test strips!!

I had some issues with the product before but thanks to OTC and Amazon who really stand behind it's products, they gave me proper advise and replaced some marginal test strips. They even sent a new test unit. It all works fine now and I'm happy with both the product and the manufacturer's support.

***UPDATE: Purchased a different machine because my dog was testing higher and higher, but acting normal -- there was a huge difference in readings from the same stick/drop of blood! I'm glad I didn't kill my dog with too much insulin since this machine was not accurate.*** Have been using for about 6 months. The lancets with this device are impossible to use. In using, they either don't stick my dog, or making my dog yelp - no in between. I've purchased separate push button lancets (mckesson) that are a little more pricey, but effective. The strips are very sensitive. Once you touch the drop of blood, it registers in 5 seconds. If it is not enough even by one teeny tiny line on the strip, it won't read. Per 25 strip bottle, we probably waste 3 strips and have to re-stick our dog. I am starting to question it as my dogs blood sugar is reading higher and higher, but she's not acting abnormal like she does when it's high. Will probably purchase a 2nd machine of a different brand to ensure its accuracy.
