The PetLink+ Meter is a newer addition to the PetTest product line. Data can be wirelessly transmitted to the Digital Companion App. The PetLink+ Meter uses the same foil wrapped test strips as the PetTest Classic and there is no coding necessary.
Test Strips for the PetLink+ and PetTest Classic meters. They are as easy to open as a band-aid and the foil wrap protects the test strips from humidity.
Protect your PetLink+ or PetTest Classic Meter with one of these. Bumper Cases. Made of silicone and available in five fabulous colors: pink, purple, blue, yellow or black.
21-gauge Twist-top Lancets can be used in any almost any lancing device. Comes in two 50 packs and are single use.
If you have ever dropped and broken a bottle of insulin, this could have saved you money. Vial Safe is a silicone sleeve that hugs your vial of insulin and protects it from falls. This product is A MUST!
Ketone Glucose Urinalysis Test Strips should always be on hand. Testing urine whenever blood glucose levels are higher is an important step in managing diabetes. The ketone glucose urinalysis test strips read ketone levels in 40 seconds and read glucose in urine in 30 seconds.
This i-Catch Pole telescopes 45" making it easy to get a urine sample and has a plastic cup that is removeable and reusable.
Energy Boost with Methyl B-12 is a fast-acting glucose gel that raises blood glucose levels quickly and effectively. Dosing gives controlled, precise and repeatable treatment for hypoglycemia.
Soothing solution for the digestive tract: ingredients like Slippery Elm Bark and Marshmallow Root create a protective coating on the gastrointestinal lining. Great for GI issues like pancreatitis, ulcers, IBD and more. Comes in two sizes: for Small Dogs & Cats, and for Large Dogs.
Colloidal Silver Spray is an anti microbial that helps reduce irritation and rashes. Relieves minor skin irritation, soothes mild allergic reactions and flea bites, promotes healing of minor cuts and scratches. For external use only. DO NOT USE ON CATS!
Keep your pet distracted while they are groomed, bathed or when it comes time to test blood glucose levels or inject insulin. Sticks to almost any flat surface, is dishwasher safe and crafted from 100% food-grade silicone.
The Advocate Insulated Portable Freezer Pack for Insulin uses medical-grade insulation to keep insulin cool for hours, even in hot temperatures. Convenient reusable freezer packs that ensure consistent cooling throughout the day.
A great addition for anyone that has pets that don't use the bathroom outside or have potty accidents. These pee pads are waterproof, durable and are 23" x 36", perfect for pets.
Poop bags are essential when traveling and these are made from cornstarch so they are 100% biodegradable. They also come with a cute dispenser.
A great tote to have when traveling with your dog or cat. The small tote comes in two colors: black and pink. The large tote comes in three colors: black, pink and blue. Totes include two lined food carriers, placement, two collapsbile bowls and plenty of storage for your pets essentials. And for those that fly with their pets, these totes meet airline carry-on requirements and even includes a luggage ID.
And one more imporant product pick, SYRINGES! There are many to choose from whether you use Vetsulin or a human insulin like Novolin N or Humulin N. Click here to take you to the PetTest Syringe Finder; just answer a couple of questions and your answers will guide you to the proper syringes for your pet!
Until next week stay comfy, don’t stress and you got this!
