iPet PRO Blood Glucose Test Strips (Blood Glucose 50 ct. Test Strips)

I took the time to read the instructions and set it up. I was able to code it and test it, everything worked great. Monitor is very easy to use and navigate menus. I did have a learning curve with the lancet and trying to get enough blood to get a proper reading. If you don’t get enough blood it will still read, it’s very sensitive, however it will read very low. That being said, you still don’t need much! If it’s your first time using something like this, I would suggest watching a video on how to use the lancet and how to get the ear to produce enough for a proper reading. I didn’t see any setting suggesting for the lancet either. I used setting 2 on my cats ear. 1 wasn’t enough I couldn’t get anything from that setting.

Works great, lets you choose a dog or cat and has all the supplies to get you started. Nice product.

I haven't used the kit yet because I have to make an appointment to bring my dog in to the vet for them to show me how to properly use it. They have the same kind and they thought it would be easier if they were both calibrated the same.

Set up and calibration is easy enough and instructions are clear and easy to follow. However, the unit is NOT accurate at all. I checked my dog's glucose 1 day after receiving the unit. The number seemed extremely high for his normal (531) so I check it again. The 2nd reading was 381. Thinking perhaps I had done something wrong I decided to give it a 3rd try from a new location and this reading was 414. I decided to give it one last try to see if it was even remotely close to the any of the previous levels but hen got a level of 251. After 4 readings be so far apart from each other, I have NO confidence in it's accuracy and decided to return for a refund. I also purchased the AlphaTrak from my vet's office which they calibrated and checked against their own meter and it was accurate. The iPet Pro is affordable/ cheap but in this case, I definitely got what I paid for.

This monitor works for what it needs to do and is easy to learn how to use. Display is clear and easy to read. I like the case that keeps everything clean and compact. The trick is getting a blood sample from my pet/getting the sample read clearly. If I take too long because my guy is not in the mood (more than about 15 seconds), this monitor goes to sleep and I have to start over. If I don’t get enough of a sample, there’s an error. The strips are single use so if I miss or my pet twitches away before I can capture the sample, there’s an error. The strips are also crazy expensive which is just kind of insult to injury with a diabetic pet since you have to spend more on everything else for them too. This monitor will work, but maybe do some more research, pet parents, and see if there’s a more accessible option for you.

works fine

Definitely worth the money

This seems like such a great meter. Cost-wise & user-wise. Unfortunately I just cannot get a blood sample out of my cat! Maybe he's old and dry. Poor thing's ears are pricked up and down both ears, and even attempted the paw twice. I managed to get a scooch of blood and got a bogus reading of 83. I know his glucose did not drop from 300+ down to 83 with NO insulin. He's had a diet change for about a week, and on meds for his uti. He hates his paws and ears touched. So trying to rub his ear to get it warm was a joke. I tried anyway. Poke! nothing. squeeze. nothing. poke again. nothing. Just a very annoyed cat, that definitely won't let me touch him now. I've watched all the videos, listened to the vet, NOTHING will make this cat bleed! I damn near pierced his ear all the way through with the lancet set at 5. Still not a solid drop of blood to test. I know I can't afford long term treatment for my cat's diabetes. And not being able to test him, I'll never know if the diet change is helping, or if he is getting worse. I have to wait until I visibly see him suffering to take him in to be put down. I was trying to avoid suffering. His behaviors/functions are well, aside from his weakened legs, so I hate to put him down just because of having diabetes. $40 that could have went towards euthanasia, now down the toilet, and if he begins to suffer, I have to wait to get more money before I can take him in. I can't return this thing, as its used. 6 strips and 4 or 5 lancets. Unless you are positive you are comfortable enough and your animals blood is thin enough, don't waste the money. This is upsetting. I feel like I was let down, and now I'm letting my guy down because I'm not smart enough to get a drop of blood. If you aren't very financially comfortable, diabetes is a death sentence for your pet. Bad enough for humans, even worse for pets. Pre-existing conditions are not covered by pet insurance.

Le prix est un peu élevé pour juste 25 bandelettes! Mais c'est un bon produit.

Stresser par la fiabilité mais après avoir tester le bandelette tout a super bien fonctionner.

It would help if the product listed what machines are compatible. Waste of time
