Most Important to Know is, it only needs a small drop. But learn how to use it.
If You Get Error Messages: Read This1). You might be doing something wrong!2). Read the Booklet Again.3). Before taking blood, make SURE the droplet icon appears. (Looks like a tiny snowman.4). Press up arrow or S to turn meter on. Shows current date and time at bottom for 2 seconds.5). Use up and down arrow to scroll through previous results.6). Switch between dogs and cats by holding down arrow for 3 seconds.7). Then press up or down arrows to select dog 1, 2, or 3. Same for cats.8). Often best to put a thin layer pf Vaseline on are to be lanced for blood drop. Will help it to make a drop.9). Press S. Once you see the droplet / snowman on the screen you have 2 minutes to take sample.10). It’s best to have the meter strip point straight down into blood droplet. Sideways is “iffy”.11). When you see the screen count down from 5 to 0 you know you did everything right!12). There are 8 error messages that could occur. Pay attention and lookup (in booklet), what they mean.Error Messages:13). Er1= Used test strip inserted.14). Er2= Drop acquired too soon. Need to get sample AFTER blood drop / snowman appears.15). Er3= Temperature during test was too cold or warm. Operating temp 41f to 113f, or 5-45c.16). Er4= Sample too thick (viscosity), or insufficient volume.17). Er5= Non Vetmate strip used, or was not inserted properly.18). There is a problem with the meter.19). An electronic error occurred during test.It took us a couple months to realize we were causing the errors. Now we have no problems testing.

Awsome meter
This meter works great! Affordable compared to other pet meters. The strips are still fairly expensive however, I also have a human meter, the relion classic from Walmart and they both test within an 8dl difference of eachother. Strips are way cheaper for those. So if ur strapped for cash and looking for decent price testing supplies, that is a great option.

Scam
You receive 10 strips (10 chances) to test the blood. But, each time I received an Er4 code due to insufficient volume of blood. And when I tried to add more blood to the sample, it shifted immediately to an Er1 code which means the strip is used and you need to get a new one. Well, with the prick they provide, it does not generate enough blood flow, even from a paw pad. Outside of using a non-sterile prick on your pet, this is worthless. Such a bunk product.

Not terrible, but not good enough, no value
Itâs ok, I didnât like the test strips, too difficult to draw blood from the dog, the alphatrak test strips are way better, they absorb the blood quickly and are clear so you can actually see that the blood is being absorbed, I wasted too many strips with this machine and thatâs the main reason I returned it, also, the aphatrak has Bluetooth so you can upload the results to your phone and send them to the vet. Another thing, the test results were all over the place with this meter, couldnât trust it. Didnât feel it was worth the money, it only came with 10 test strips and a bottle of 50 strips costs $40, lancets 100 for $7. AlphaTrak comes with 50 strips and 30 lancets, a better value in my opinion. Same cost almost and you get more for your money and an app.

Easy machine to use
If you have a dog with diabetes and you need to check its sugar this is simple to use. Easy to follow directions and you are ready to check your pets sugar easily.

Accurate but
Out of 25 test strips I had 10 bad strips, strips are expensive and hard to get. Will probably return because of this.

Wish I could use it on my dog.
I did my research extensively when my dog was diagnosed diabetic, for what you can find on Amazon this is the best buck for your buy. Good reviews great quality product, I tried it on other dogs I have. The diabetic dog, I cannot get the draw blood on to save my life. Itâs currently sitting in a box because itâs not being used, but for the few times I was able to try it out my dogs and mom itâs really nice to use. It also comes with setting so you can have up to four animals, cat or dog, and you can set which ones which slot 1-4. And it stores the information so you can backtrack. Would definitely recommend to others.

Lancing Device Does Not Work Correctly
The lancets that came with the kit, to be used with the included SoftCare Lancing Device, appear to be too short. The lancets will not reach the opening of the lancing device. I made the mistake of ordering extra VetMate Lancets, which appear identical to the ones that come with the starter kit, they also appear too short.I did take the device to the vet in order to verify it was not just a “me” issue. The receptionist (who is a diabetic) could not get the lancing device to work correctly and also stated that the lancets appear to be too short. The lancing device appears to be fully functional, just the lancets themselves are too short and the needle will not extend to the opening of the lancing device.I will need to find another lancing device that actually works. As this is all new to me, I will not take the chance that it is a just defective lancing device and instead look to another brand in order to feel like I have made a better choice.
