What are UltiCare VetRx U-40 Insulin Syringes for Dogs and Cats?
- Insulin is a hormone that is naturally produced by the pancreas to convert sugar (glucose) in the blood to energy for the body.
- Diabetic animals are either unable to produce their own insulin or cannot use it properly.
- Insulin injections help treat diabetes in cats and dogs by normalizing the glucose level in the blood.
- Insulin syringes are necessary for administering this important drug.
- U-40 insulin is divided into 40 dosing units per milliliter.
- U-40 insulin syringes are designed to inject U-40 insulin types, such as ProZinc and Vetsulin.
- These precision-engineered syringes make administering daily insulin shots accurate, easy, and effective.
- The sterile, latex-free syringes feature a silicone coated barrel and tri-beveled tip for comfort.

Q & A
-
Our dog was recently diagnosed with diabetes requiring 28 units of insulin twice per day. We were given 1/2cc syringes which is requiring 4 syringes per day. (2 for each 28u dose) Would the 1 cc syringe hold the entire 28 units letting us only have to inject our pet once per dose rather then twice? Probably a dumb question but I wanted to be sure. This is all new to us?
-
The 1cc UltiCare VetRx U-40 insulin syringes dose up to 40 units of insulin. Therefore, the 1 cc syringe can be used to administer 28 units in a single syringe.

is 7 units on a ul 40 .3ml syringe the same dosage amt.as 7 units on a ul 40 .5ml?
-
As long as the syringes are both U-40 insulin syringes, 7 units on one syringe will equal 7 units on the other.

I like the U40, 3/10cc, 1/2" needle, 29 gauge needle that come in paks of 10-the bag is purple with cat paws down the side and the syringe is marked with black ink in 1 unit increments 1-12 and has a red cap- are these the correct ones? Can't really see the units written on the side in the photo?

The UltiCare VetRx U40 29 Gauge x ½" needles x 3/10 cc syringes have full unit increments on a scale from 1-12 with black markings and a red cap. There are 100 per box, 10 packs of 10 syringes, and they can be purchased with or without the sharps container. They also come in purple packaging.

Hello I only want the 3/10 cc needles, but you sell it with the container, which I don't want because I already have one. Do you guys sell that type of needle by itself??
-
Unfortunately, we only have needles with the sharps container in that size needle size. Thank you, VetRxDirect

I need 1/2 cc 29 gauge 1/2 inch MEDIUM DOSE. But the picture shows LOW DOSE. Do you have medium dose??
-
Lizette, The UltiCare syringes that we carry, in the U-40, 1/2cc, 29 gauge, 1/2-inch size, are listed on the box as being a medium dose syringe. The picture shows two different size syringes, and the low dose syringes pictured are a 3/10cc syringe. Thank you, VetRxDirect
