Pet Syringes

Diabetes doesn’t just affect people. Dogs and cats can develop diabetes too, and many require regular insulin injections to keep their blood sugar levels under control. With the right insulin syringes, administering insulin to your pet can become a simple part of your daily routine. we offer U-40 insulin syringes for pets, available in different sizes and needle lengths. Designed for accurate dosing and comfortable injections, our syringes are suitable for diabetic dogs and cats prescribed U-40 insulin.

What are U-40 insulin syringes?

U-40 insulin contains 40 units of insulin per millilitre. U-40 syringes are specifically calibrated for this concentration, making it easier to measure and administer the correct dose. Always use a U-40 syringe with U-40 insulin. Using a syringe designed for a different insulin concentration, such as U-100, can result in incorrect dosing.

Choosing the right insulin syringe for your pet

The right syringe depends on your pet’s prescribed insulin dose and your veterinarian’s recommendations. We offer two options:

• 0.5ml U-40 syringe – 8mm needle, 30G: A smaller syringe with a short, fine needle (0.30mm), suitable for smaller insulin doses.
• 1ml U-40 syringe – 12.7mm needle, 29G: A larger syringe with a slightly longer and thicker needle (0.33mm), suitable for larger insulin doses.

Both options are sterile, single-use syringes, supplied in convenient boxes of 100 pieces.

How do insulin injections for pets work?

Insulin is usually injected just beneath the skin, often around the shoulders or along the side of your pet’s body. Your veterinarian will demonstrate the correct injection technique and explain how to measure the prescribed dose. Most diabetic dogs and cats receive insulin twice daily, approximately 12 hours apart, although some treatment plans differ. Always follow your veterinarian’s instructions. Use a new sterile syringe for every injection.

How common is diabetes in pets?

Diabetes is relatively common in household pets. Estimates suggest that approximately 1 in 300 dogs and 1 in 200 cats develop diabetes, although prevalence varies between populations. With appropriate treatment, regular monitoring and a consistent routine, many diabetic pets can continue enjoying a happy, active life.
