Very Good Syringes
By Star on Jun 29, 2020
These syringes were our first try of needles with Chewy and as we have come to expect from Chewy, they are very good. We have to give our Star 4.9 units and the syringes are very easy to read. The marks are in .5 units making it very nice to determine the amount. We have purchased quite a number of products from Chewy and they have always come through for us.

U-40 Syringes have 1/2 unit markings
By Purrfectbistro on Aug 10, 2020
My cat requires 2.5 units. These syringes have 1/2 unit markings for the correct dose. It took a while for delivery but well worth the wait.

Outstanding!
By Rudy on Apr 17, 2020
I normally hesitate to order things on-line; however, Chewy has provided much-needed medications and supplies for my diabetic terrier, as well as premium food choices - all reasonably priced. Customer Service is professional, friendly and helpful. The entire process is fast, efficient and so easy - for example, Chewy contacts my Vet directly for all the prescriptions my "Rudy" needs! All packing is clean and protected (example, Insulin is cold packed and always still very cold when I get it, as it must be). Everything said here has also occurred throughout the COVID19 pandemic. Thank you!

Same syringes, no disposal box
By LadysHuman on Apr 9, 2020
These are identical syringes as the ones sold with the disposal box, except these are less expensive. However, you need a disposal box with enough capacity to house these since used ones should not be tossed in the garbage. With all we are doing to try to limit diseases, please don’t put others at risk of getting stuck by a used syringe.

Needle bit too long
By LauraP on Jun 23, 2020
Easy to see the dose I have to give my dog, but the needle has a bit too long. I will give a 4 overall. I am not dissatisfied with it.

Not impressed
By Syringeso on May 16, 2020
Placed my order for syringes. Paid. No one was able to get ahold of my vet. So then the order was canceled. So then I had to reuse syringes until I could reorder. Not happy...

Thank you!
By Evie on Apr 11, 2020
Chewy provides great compassionate care always & now especially during our time of need. The item I usually order was out of stock, but I received this substituted request item so promptly! Thank you again for making it easier for us to take care of our pets!

Thankful for these
By Mare on Apr 14, 2020
My mom got these for me because I have diabetes and she was running out of syringes to give me my insulin. I told her to check at Chewy because she always gets my special food there too. My fur mama is happy, and the price was good too!!
