1/2 unit markings are very helpful!
By DebbieB on Nov 29, 2019
We have a cat with diabetes who has been difficult to stabilize, thus we're often tweaking his insulin dose, and sometimes this includes 1/2 unit increments. Having this marking on the syringe is very useful, given how small the units are. This eliminates guesswork (and a lot of squinting), and I feel more confident that he is getting the correct dosage.

Works well!
By Nikki on Nov 8, 2019
Works well at a good price. But I didn’t realize it’s 60 syringes and not 100. Thought it’s really cheap for 100 but was 60 only. Very odd quantity box.

I have a diabetic dog and have had trouble lately with syringes that have crooked markings. I ordered these and they are perfect!!! I will only order this brand from Chewy from now on.
