Pet Control HQ glucose monitor
Merchant VideoAre replacement test strips easy to find, and do they work with older versions?
Yes. Pet Control HQ replacement test strips are readily available on and from Pet Control HQ. The same strips are compatible with all Pet Control HQ glucose monitor versions, including previous models with different colors.
Is this meter actually accurate?
This monitor is designed for reliable, repeatable home readings when used correctly. Many users report consistent results for trend tracking. Technique, sample size, and strip storage affect accuracy. Control solution is included for checks.
Why might home readings differ from my veterinarian’s results?
Home testing uses capillary blood in a calm environment, while veterinary clinics often use venous blood under stress. These differences can cause higher clinic readings. Small variations are expected across all glucose monitors.
Is this painful for pets, and has the lancing device been updated?
Most pets tolerate testing well because only a 0.6µL blood sample is needed. Skin thickness varies by pet, and larger dogs may require deeper settings. This is normal, and adjusting depth or warming the area helps improve comfort and blood flow.
How does this compare to other pet glucose monitors?
This monitor uses species-specific calibration and GDH enzyme technology found in leading veterinary home meters. It’s designed for reliable home trend monitoring with an all-in-one starter kit and a more accessible long-term cost for home testing.
