FDA-cleared sharps containers are generally available through pharmacies, medical supply companies, health care providers and online.

Great syringes
By schnauzermom on Aug 18, 2021
I’ve found these to be my favorite when I adopted my diabetic dog. The needle gauge is just right and the amount is perfect for his dosage. I used to have 1/2 unit markings but as I adjusted his dosage to a whole number, we now use this type. No complaints. We used to buy the plastic storage container from this brand which also came with the syringes, but since buying a needle clipper, we no longer needed that. I do trust this brand. If you’re new to diabetes, make sure you get the right kind *(U-40 for Vetsulin and U-100 for Novolin)*. If your dog has a small dosage, say 1-10 then a smaller syringe would be better for you. If you administer, say 7.5, then make sure your have half units marked I’ve found these to be my favorite when I adopted my diabetic dog.

I like the plunger covers and the needle caps work well to prevent accidental poking. Thankfully my dog is very good and literally stands there waiting for his shot, but I still say this is a good gauge for a needle size for my miniature schnauzer who doesn’t have incredibly thick skin. … more

Inconsistant
By SolarNightOwl on Sep 25, 2021
These are the needles we use. Overall they are good needles. Some of them are super and slide right in, with no effort, but some of them are very dull and have to be forced in. We keep hoping that the next box will all be super so that we can give them a 10.

Affordable Insulin
By Bobo on Oct 16, 2021
Her insulin was $157 every 2-3 weeks. I checked Chewy & it was $192 for a bottle twice as big! We are on Autoship & love it!

CHEWY to the rescue again
By Tetu on Oct 26, 2021
Overlooked my supply left of needles and put in a much needed order. CHEWY came thru on time before I ran out

Less plastic
By Kitty on Jul 12, 2021
Previously I bought these syringes with the Safe Pack which included a dispenser for fresh syringes and collected used ones, all in one heavy duty plastic container. But why add to the medical waste with more PLASTIC. Just as easy to recycle old plastic take out (food) containers instead of promoting the manufacture and use of plastic which is damaging to the environment.

These are the same ones my Vet sold me but at a higher price
By Debbie on Jul 27, 2021
My vet only sells these with the sharps container. I am diabetic and already have a container so these were perfect and cheaper for me.
