UltiCare VetRx U-100 Pet Insulin Syringes, 3/10cc, 31G x 5/16", 60 Ct

I have purchased multiple boxes of these syringes to use for giving insulin to my diabetic cat, and I have been very happy with them. The biggest advantage for me is the half-unit markings. When giving smaller doses of insulin, being able to measure in smaller increments is extremely important and makes accurate dosing much easier. I actually had a hard time finding syringes with half-unit markings, since there don’t seem to be nearly as many options available. These are easy to use, the markings are clear, and they have worked reliably for us. I will continue purchasing them.

I've tried several syringes for my cat and this is the best. Short needle, clean half dose marking, sturdy

Perfect my dog is 15 years old she’s diabetic has cataract’s and doesn’t mind me giving her shot

Essential for those .5units of measurement

Update- company reached out and offered a full refund, so I will continue to buy these and hopefully the issue was only with that specific lot. The other boxes have been great. Original review- These needles were great, but the last box has been full of ones that I couldn't use- either the rubber stopper inside won't go all the way to the 0 line or the needles are already bent. I've also had 2 that seemed dull as they didn't pierce the skin well at all. It's very disappointing as these have been working so well for my diabetic cat, but if I didn't use a caliper for dosing I wouldn't have consistent insulin dosages.

These syringes are made for animals and have a shorter needle. That is very helpful when you have to grab some loose skin in the pet's haunches to give your furry friend a shot. They are a great value for the number of syringes, and the shorter needlepoint make it safer and offer more comfort for animals requiring shots 1+ times a day.

4 out of 5 stars. I previously used the human insulin syringes only because that was what the vet had prescribed when my cat became a diabetic. The human needles are longer than these pet syringes. Although I can use my FSA account to buy the human insulin syringe, I decided to stick with these needles because I have gone through his skin and poked myself in the finger a couple times due to the needle length. I can’t use my FSA for these which are a bummer, but I find that these are much more user friendly for our pets so I am sticking to these. Measuring lines were good for the first 2-3 boxes, but this last one I got…the lines were way off. Luckily for me, I use a caliper to measure his dose so it is consistent every time no matter what the lines on the plunger does from one syringe to another. If you don’t already use a digital caliper, you need to get one. Join the FB group Feline Diabetes Support Group. They can help you with the calipers and feline diabetes in general.

Great product highly recommend. I’ve never had any issues with the syringes. They are durable and the size is perfect for my Chiweenie
