AlphaTRAK 2 Blood Glucose Test Strips for Dogs & Cats, 50 count

Right - I know I'm the only one but please be advised that these strips error out quite often once you've touched the ear and didn't get enough blood on the first try. Maybe your cat is like the ones on the videos that seem like they're in a trance, but my cat really doesn't appreciate getting his ear poked. (And don't get me started on the lancet plunger, which we've abandoned.) He's also not a bleeder, so it's a job getting enough blood for the test. But if you don't nail it the first time be prepared to have the test strip then error out on you, just when you're struggling to administer the test. Some days I feel like I'm just pulling one dollar bills out of my wallet and throwing them Right - I know I'm the only one but please be advised that these strips error out quite often once you've touched the ear and didn't get enough blood on the first try.

I certainly don't recommend these, but the vet gave us the AlphaTRAK testing device so I don't think we have any choice about the strips. … more

The price may seem to be high but it is $20.00 less then every other place I have looked. As a mom of a child who has type 1 diabetes for 22 years and now a mom of a senior furbaby newly diagnosed with diabetes. Glucose testing strips are expensive. I am impressed with ease and the little amount of blood these test strips require. If you do the testing correctly. You must apply blood to either side of the strip. Not on top ( easy to follow instructions) Very thankful for Chewy my blonde girl is my diabetes girl.

I have bought many things from chewy , my dog has diabetes that need to get regulated many times it takes 2 strips to get a reading the strips are outrageously overpriced here and everywhere, trying to keep my dog alive after her being in the hospital for a week the cost was what a new used car would be thank god someone helped us or we would had have to put a mentally young good dog down breaks my heart how these companies don't care about saving lives only about overcharging for something that cost pennies to make to line their pockets on our pet lovers sorrow and pain, between the cost of the insulin per month and now how expensive these strips are my girl has to be tested 3 to 4x a day trying I have bought many things from chewy , my dog has diabetes that need to get regulated many times it takes 2 strips to get a reading the strips are outrageously overpriced here and everywhere, trying to keep my dog alive after her being in the hospital for a week the cost was what a new used car would be thank god someone helped us or we would had have to put a mentally young good dog down breaks my heart how these companies don't care about saving lives only about overcharging for something that cost pennies to make to line their pockets on our pet lovers sorrow and pain, between the cost of the insulin per month and now how expensive these strips are my girl has to be tested 3 to 4x a day trying to get her diabetes regulated and the vet just told us we have to do a blood glucose curve that means for 24hrs you have to test with the strips every hour to 2 hours for 24 hrs so the vet can figure the right amount of insulin units to regulate your dog's diabetes so that's 24 to 48 strips to do a glucose blood curve, don't know how to afford all these costs with other meds 500$ a month to keep my pet well , the vet, hospitals and pharmacies are all outrageously overpriced. I have diabetes too same problem just raised my 4 dollar a month medication to 24 dollars last month how on earth do they justify 4 dollars to 24 dollars it's ridiculous being a senior makes it hard to even own a pet anymore. … more

One out of 2 to 4 strips don’t work, and they are too pricey, $50 for 50 strips is Ridiculous, when the meter itself cost $55.

Chewy is a great place to get all your Pets Needs.. I order from them a lot and I have never had a problem... always fast shipping, and if some thing is wrong they are on it to fix it... they are a good honest company... Like last week I ran out of glucose strips for my little Pomeranian I ordered them on Mon.. they were here the next day... You talk about Good Service.. They are my Number 1 buying place.. You can't go wrong with Chewy... Order From Chewy!

This is a great product but very expensive. It is a economics 101. The more people need these for their pets the more expensive they are. I need to use these twice daily for my pet so 50 last 25 days.

This an excellent product; chewy’s price is in line with everyone else’s, but what is charged for these strips in general is not fair; when you have to test twice a day; the price the company sets is what’s wrong with the pharmaceutical industry; that’s not chewy’s fault, but it’s a systematic issue from human to pet medication and supplies; it puts it out of reach of most people and leaves people and pets to suffer; do they ever consider that these cost pennies, but save lives; yet they charge what most people couldn’t afford even before the COVID pandemic.

I ordered them on the 26th and got them on the 28th. So thankful for the quick delivery

I was very happy with the availability and delivery of the product. I was relieved to find one that had a more reasonable price, but I was disappointed that it was only a 50 count. Otherwise I would have given it more stars.

They're very sensitive and don't always work. It can take using 2 to get the BG level. Manufacturer makes them too expensive. Chewy is the best place to get them...least expensive and fast shipping.
