Blood Glucose Testing

A quick way to check for ketones when blood glucose runs high. We use Ketostix® with Parker whenever his BG spikes — it helps us know if it’s just a routine high or something more serious that needs urgent attention.

A veterinary-recommended glucose meter designed specifically for pets. We use AlphaTRAK® with Parker every day, and it’s been very reliable for tracking his blood sugar—though it can be a bit more expensive than other options.

A complete at-home blood glucose testing system made specifically for pets. We use PetTest® products with Parker every day — they’re reliable, accurate, and designed with diabetic dogs in mind.

A gentle, vacuum-assisted lancet system that makes drawing blood less painful. We use the Genteel® device with Parker for glucose testing, and it’s made the process much easier and more comfortable for him.

A simple tool that makes at-home glucose testing easier. We use them to gently warm Parker’s ear before using a lancet, which helps blood flow more freely and makes getting a sample less stressful.
