In a study close to 97% of pet owners reported that VetPen was easy to use overall 2. And more than 97% reported being able to learn how to use VetPen 2. VetPen is ergonomically designed to make handling easy and the dosing process simple. It reduces the time it takes to prepare and give insulin injections. VetPen is supplied with adaptors for the dose selector dial and release button that make it easy to use for all. If only a partial dose is delivered, wait until the next dose and give your cat or dog its usual dose. If you are in doubt, speak to your vet.

Burgaud, S., Riant, S. & Piau, N. (2012). Comparative laboratory evolution of dose delivery using a veterinary insulin pen. Proceedings of the WSAVA/FECAVA/BSAVA Congress, Birmingham UK 12-15 April 2012. Abstract 567Insulin injection pens have been used for decades in the management of diabetes in humans, VetPen® is the first insulin injection pen specially designed for use in dogs and cats with diabetes. MSD Animal Health developed VetPen to provide owners of diabetic dogs an alternative to insulin syringes, which some dog owners found inconvenient and overwhelming. To clean VetPen, simply wipe with a damp cloth. Do not immerse it in water. Troubleshooting VetPen ® The Caninsulin VetPen has been designed for use with Caninsulin only and should not be used with any other products. The starter kit includes a handy travel pouch that holds the VetPen, needles, needle remover, and insulin, as well as the dose selector adaptor and release button extension. This insulin pen to be used only with Caninsulin® for diabetes - NO prescription required.

Caninsulin ® 40 iu/ml Suspension for Injection contains an aqueous suspension of insulin containing 40 i.u. highly purified porcine insulin, which is structurally identical to canine insulin. POM-V While insulin pens have commonly been used in the management of human diabetes for some time, VetPen is the only device designed exclusively for use in cats and dogs. It is important to confirm that the VetPen and the needle are working properly to ensure that the pet receives an accurate dose of insulin. To do so, measure a small dose and ensure that the insulin flows freely through the needle. To make sure the pet’s dose is injected precisely and accurately, you need to hold down the release button until the arrow (▶) points to the start line (—) on the dose selector. Then, wait at least 5 seconds before removing the needle from the skin. This allows for VetPen’s internal mechanism to optimally deliver the selected dose.Delivers an accurate dose consistently over time, with less chance of error compared to the traditional needle and syringe method 1
