AlphaTRAK 2 Blood Glucose Test Strips are designed to be used with AlphaTRAK 2 meters, once the strips provided with the original kits run out. These test strips are accurate, easy to use and produce accurate results within seconds. These strips were specially designed to test blood sugar in dogs and cats and require a very small blood sample, reducing the stress of testing on you and your pet.

Keep the test strip and cap away from children. Drying agents may be harmful if inhaled or swallowed and may cause skin or eye irritation.
1. Set Up
Insert a test strip into the meter. The meter will automatically turn on. Enter the appropriate CODE for the species being tested or on the strip vial.
NOTE: Use appropriate code recommended for each species in the table below.
Species | CODE for AlphaTRAK 2 Meter |
---|---|
CAT | See code identified on the vial. |
DOG | See code identified on the vial. |
2. Perform the Test
Please use standard sampling techniques for obtaining blood in all species. The AlphaTRAK Lancet may be used to obtain the correct size blood sample. Refer to the AlphaTRAK Blood Glucose Monitoring System User Guide or veterinarian/veterinary surgeon for blood sampling instructions.
When the prompt to apply the sample appears on the screen, lance the site chosen, and obtain a blood sample about the size of a pinhead (0.3 microlitres of blood).
Gently touch only one edge of the test strip to the blood sample.
The test strip may be filled from either side, but not both sides. When the strip is full, the meter will “beep” or you will see the moving lines on the display.
Do not press the edge of the strip against the test site. Do not put the sample on top of the sample target area.
3. Read Results
Results are displayed in an average of 15 seconds. The test time may vary depending on the blood glucose level. The results will be stored in the meter memory. Results are displayed as mg/dL (milligrams per decilitre) in the USA or in mmol/L (millimole per litre) or mg/dL outside the USA.
Store the test strip package in a dry place between 40° - 86°F.

A price increase of $20 in less than 30 days for 50 test strips is beyond unreasonable. Additionally, 50 test strips is an odd number to use for packaging when monthly calculations are easier to keep track of for such an important part of a process that is required for keeping some pets alive. If I ordered a new Test Kit every 20 days and had it autoshipped, I would never have to worry about whether I had test strips, test solution, lancets, a fresh battery for the monitor, for very little more than the price of the 50 test strips. The only reason I would recommend this product to others is because it does work and I have little experience with other systems.
So great to be able to test and send my kitty's blood sugar readings to the vet.
These work well for monitoring my diabetic cat but sometimes it says there isn't enough blood when I can see it and reads as an error then I have to re poke her. So I'm going through them faster then I'd like too considering they are wayyyy overpriced. Like literally $1 per test strip which is really a annoying.
Easy to use and vital for determining blood glucose
These are very reliable strips that work well with taking glucose tests on my cat.
Really? $55.11 for some test strips??! To bad ya'll have us by the ----- just to test our poor babies.... do better please.
The company rep was very friendly and helpful, She was instrumental in getting our order to us before running out.
Just need the tiniest amount of blood! Fast and efficient. Very happy.
These glucose strips are just fine, seems I'm needing quite a few since we just started with our pup being diabetic. But my review is for 'CHEWY'! They just rocked!! I needed these quick and I received them in like 2 days!! THANK YOU CHEWY!!
Overpriced but necessary. Hoping to find compatible strips at a lower price point. But the high star rating is because chewy customer service is so phenomenal!
