iPet PRO Blood Glucose Monitoring System Designed for Dogs & Cats| Includes Meter, 2 AA Batteries, User Guide, Log Book, 25 Test Strips, Control Solution, Lancing Device, 30 28G Lancets, Carrying Case

I haven’t used this meter yet but I got far as calibration. Trying to set date/time I’m having trouble and shouldn’t. I’ve used alpha trac 2 in past, so I know how to use a glucometer. The alpha is much easier but mine is now discontinued so can’t get test strips. Going to have my daughter, a nurse, help me with this. If she can’t get it set up, something’s wrong so back it will go. I read another review from back in 2020, from Desirie. I felt so bad for her as I’ve been in her place with two geriatric cats, one diabetic, one hyperthyroid. Not knowing her pets age back then, they may still be around, I just wanted to offer bit of a tip for using the lancet. I don’t use the gun with it. I just hold the lancet and poke the ear. I think the loud click scares a cat more. My boy was 17 when diagnosed. I couldn’t get blood from his ear every time in first poke. I usually could get it from the base of ear if the tip wouldn’t work. Reading her review I felt so bad for her cat, and her. I understand what she went thru! Again I guess it’s possible her cat is still around, if so I hope things are going well, if not just know you cared, did all you could for him/her.UPDATE: had help with complete set up. The meter works well. Am satisfied with this. I wanted to update review as I know companies rely on customers opinions. I have also been a direct customer of this company, have not had any problems with any other products purchased in past.

Very easy to use and reads really quick. Love the product but price for the 25 test strips is a little expensive.

I do my own glucose monitoring for my dog. These refill strips are perfect with my meter. I save a huge amount of money doing glucose monitoring and mapping at home instead of my dog having to spend the day at the vet periodically to adjust her insulin dose. My vet also appreciated how these made it possible for me to do a week long monitoring at their recommended frequency which showed a better picture of how my dog’s insulin fluctuates over a longer time than the single day they can do in office. I also love that if I have concerns about symptoms of high or low blood glucose, I can quickly test and treat my dog without requiring emergency care or guessing what her levels might be at. My dog is my child, as an empty-nester, so these help me keep her blood glucose in the most optimal range which extends the life expectancy after diagnosis.

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.

The monitor is accurate and easy to use, but I couldn't get enough blood with the lancer (which also only seems to work at all sometimes). Do yourself (and your pet) a favor and buy a different, better lancer.

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.

This product seems to be accurate, side by side comparisons with a human reader by my testing have been very similar (though other's mileage may vary) but the test strips are just too expensive for my taste, especially compared to human testing equipment.

My cat has diabetes, so finding a reliable glucose meter is a big deal. The iPet PRO has been super helpful for keeping my kitty healthy. If you need help or run into problems, just call the number on the box! The team was super friendly and helpful. I don’t get why more people don’t do this if they’re having trouble. They also had some setup videos that helped. I’ve seen a lot of reviews where people were testing their pet’s blood sugar too often. My vet told me to avoid testing repeatedly in a short time unless they specifically say to. Instead, focus on regular, spaced-out readings to get meaningful data. Highly recommend!
