Insulin / Injections

This silicone case has saved Parker’s insulin more than once by protecting the vial from drops and bumps. It also makes it easy to tell bottles apart—like knowing which one is active and which is our older backup. Simple, durable, and highly recommended.

An insulin made specifically for pets, available only by prescription. We used it with Parker in the beginning and it worked well, but it was expensive and harder to interpret because it contains more than one type of insulin with different activity profiles. Understanding the blood glucose curves took some adjustment.

A human insulin (NPH) that also works well for managing canine diabetes. We use Humulin® N with Parker; in the U.S. it’s sold as Novolin® N and is available at many pharmacies and Walmart without a prescription. If considering a switch between insulins, it’s essential to do your research and consult your veterinarian before making any changes.
