Meter specific
Make sure you have the AlphaTrak Meter; and if you do, unfortunately these are the only strips that will work in it (That I know of). Expensive, but my pups worth it.

Reliable Glucose Test Strips for My Cat's AlphaTrak 3
These blood glucose test strips worked perfectly with my AlphaTrak 3 meter for monitoring my cat's diabetes. They’re accurate, easy to use, and give quick results. Great value and peace of mind knowing I can track his levels reliably at home. Highly recommend for pet owners managing diabetes!

I will keep buying these as long as I need them
I really appreciate this product as it helps me keep my pup monitored. I would have given 5 stars, however, the price is EXTREMELY high when compared to the human counterparts. I understand that there is definitely less need in the pet market than the human market, but it is such a big difference in price that I cannot ignore it as a negative.Additionally there is so much variability between packs; it hasn't been dangerous for me because I am able to stay home with my pet all day and monitor his behavior. But every time I switch to a new box of strips I end up wasting 2, plus my control (so 3 total) - I have to take his sugar with the old pack, then do the control with the new pack, and then take his sugar again with the new pack so I know how much the new pack is going to be off compared to the last one. It's usually around a 20-30 point difference, but I have gotten packs where it's closer to 50-60 points difference.They are made with a thick plastic - when compared to the human version, they seem more durable/less likely to bend or fail at insertion to the meter. In my experience, not too much blood is required, and the only times I have had errors on the meter it's because I did not wait for the meter to go through it's startup checks or because I didn't have it inserted fully before it tried to read and the meter got upset. I have ordered these strips for the last 3 years or so I believe and don't believe I have ever gotten a pack that failed in a way that was not due to user error; maybe up to 5 individual strips (out of all the purchases) that read WAY OFF and I had to retest, but definitely not a common issue for me.I really do like them, and they are invaluable to me, there is just a little room for improvement in the product for sure.

DO YOU LIVE IN HOT SUMMER CLIMATE OR COLD WINTER CLIMATE? YOU NEED TO READ THIS!
Good product. Now please bear with me. The following is going to be quite cryptic and mysterious in an attempt to get my review past the sensors and posted in an effort to help the rest of you who live is hot climates safely get undamaged, accurate strips.So, I noticed the temperature range on the bottle is 36 to 90 degrees. I live in the desert north of Los Angeles where the summer daytime highs are pretty much at least in the high 90's or much higher every single day from about the last half of June through the first half of Sept. I've spoken to the Amazon delivery guys and know that the cargo areas or their vans are not temperature controlled. I'm guessing the temps in the back of the vans is at least in the high 110's, if not hotter. I called the manufacturer of the test strips, Zoetis, and was told that temp is too high and will damage the strips rendering them inaccurate and possible very dangerous to my cat since she could get too little or too much insulin based on the inaccurate test result. The strips need to have ice packs which are not provided by Amazon. I called the large company that delivers pet food and supplies with the same name as the tall hairy sidekick of the Harrison Ford character (can't remember his name) in the original Star Wars movie. They also don't provide ice packs on the general food and merchandise part of the operation, just dry ice which is waaaaaaaayyyy to cold. The pharmacy side does use icepacks for shipping, but that side doesn't have access to the test strips. I'm trying to get them to either provide icepack on the food side or send the strips and other temperature sensitive items such as probiotics, vitamins, etc. to the pharmacy side. (I would also ask that you also call their customer service and ask them to do the same. That way those of us who need icepacks could get them at no additional charge.) I was finally able to find two websites that use icepacks and 2nd day delivery shipping. Unfortunately, that service costs and additional $30 or so. The first companies name is the 3-letter, one syllable abbreviation for veterinarian plus the 2-letter abbreviation for prescription followed by "direct" plus .com, located in Coralville, Iowa. The second one I found was "alli" followed by the 3-letter, one syllable abbreviation for veterinarian plus .com, located in Miami Lakes, Florida. I know the extra $30 for shipping with ice packs is tough, but the more bottles you can manage to buy at the same time will reduce the cost per bottle. I generally test 3 times every day, so I need about 2 bottles of strips every month. I get SSA and received an unexpected windfall this month, so I'm able to buy at least 4 bottles this time from one of those websites. Hopefully some of you did, too. If you also plan to use one of those companies, make sure you call them to place your order because I don't think they will automatically ship them with ice packs and expedited shipping. Also note the lower end of the temperature range indicated on the strip bottle is 36 degrees. If you live in an area with frigid winter daytime temps., you need to plan ahead to avoid delivery during those times. Good luck in getting safe test strips.

Must have for a diabetic dog
We replaced our Alpha Trak 2 with this, when the test strips became difficult to find. It seems relatively accurate when compared to the Alpha Trak 2 readings. It was a little difficult to set up and connect to the app on my phone. Not even sure how I got it to work. Just kept following the instructions repeatedly and after about 30 minutes it finally connected to my phone. It is awesome to be able to track results on my phone. Test strips are expensive, but pretty standard for any meter I guess. Overall pretty pleased.

Its the only one that works to test cat blood sugar
We have two diabetic cats that need to be tested regularly. We tried a freestyle but the cat pulled it off in 3 days, so this is the only way to go. My vet uses this brand so I do too. I had a Pet Buddy, but they were discontinued and I couldn't get the test strips anymore so that was a waste. This is made by Zeotis and should be accurate and have a long life. We've been using ours for over a year and are pleased with the readings and customer service.

Easy and accurate
These are a huge improvement from the #2. Calibrating your meter is the best. Just stick it in and select dog or cat code. It sucks the blood inside the tip and I get a reading about 99% of the time. The 1 percent error is usually because I didn’t get enough blood and I knew it might error out… sometimes it’s hard to get blood from my baby girls ear and I feel bad pricking her so many times and rush the process with a too tiny drop of blood. Don’t get me wrong, you don’t need a lot of blood, or any more then you did with the alphatrak 2. I can also rely on the readings better than the older model.
