Test Strips 30ct - Blood Glucose Testing for Cats and Dogs - Works with AlphaTrak and AlphaTrak2 Meters

I ordered the 30ct bottle after reading reviews. Good reviews, mind you. I also tested using same drop of blood, and changing codes from PetSure strip to AlphaTrak strip. I got 10 Pt lower on PetSure than AlphaTrak. Another time difference was 17 pt lower than AlphaTrak. In speaking to my Vet she explained all strips will have a different reading, even if using same brand. This amount difference should not be a concern. I still have AlphaTrak strips and plan to ck between the two brands periodically. The PetSure strips DO work, despite 3 reviews I read on to 60ct bottle reviews. For some odd reason the 60ct would not let me put this review there, which is why I came back to the 30ct to place my review. Test for yourself because at this amount of savings it is totally worth. Also, yes, the PetSure strip is different "where" you place the blood. On AlphaTrak you can use either side of strip, whereas the PetSure strip you place the blood straight on the end. Yes, I had trouble first time using trying to get it to take. And, had to use an additional strip. But, there have been times I've had to use additional AlphaTrak strips. At $1/strip of AlphaTrak, that adds up more than $.43/strip (30ct bottle) or $.37/strip (60ct bottle) for PetSure. You just need to make sure you get good size bubble of blood to start, and bring strip straight on to the blood. Vet told me in beginning to apply Vaseline before lancing. That brings blood to a bubble. Hope this helps ya'll because these strips DO work, and I'm really appreciative to PetSure for selling these at "reasonable " cost. Vet bills, meds & supplies add up quickly and this shows me this company cares.

I received these new test strips today. I wanted to try them out since they are approximately one third of the price of the Alpha Trak2 test strips. I have NOT received any money or discount for this review.PetSure! test strips code for a cat = 22Alpha Trak2 test strips code for a cat = 38I set the code to "22" as directed on the Alpha Trak2 meter (purple meter). I ran test 1 with the new "PetSure!" test strips. Test 1 = 150. I reset the code back to the one stated on the bottle for Alpha Trak2 test strips "38". Test 2 = 178. I reset the code on the Alpha Trak2 meter back to the "PetSure!" test strips code "22". I ran test 3. Test 3 = 161. I had to use a lancet each time to get the blood sample required.The Alpha Trak2 meter (purple meter) read the "PetSure!" test strips as claimed.Summary:Pet Sure test strips = test 1 -> 150Alpha Trak2 test strips = test 2 -> 178Pet Sure test strips = test 3 -> 161**All three of these tests were completed within a 5 minute window around 3 pm. My cat would only let me draw blood 3 times.I will buy these PetSure! test strips again.

These test strips work with the Alpha Trak 2 meter as a “generic” strip option. After having gone through about 4 vials over the last couple of months I can say they have been consistently accurate in terms of being acceptably within the range shown by the AT2 test strips. It is great to have a more affordable alternative to the pricy AT2 strips (though I keep a vial of the AT2 strips around in case I get wonky readings or otherwise need to be more certain about the BG reading of my dog).A few times I have gotten strips that don’t work despite having plenty of blood (but also not over saturating the strip). That has been annoying but it was only a few strips (1 or 2 per vial at the most) so I can live with that due to them otherwise working well and giving such great savings. My dog has been diabetic for over 3 years now, and has some other complex health issues, so his ongoing medical supplies, medications, etc. are a significant amount of my expenses, and being able to save $ on test strips while not sacrificing accuracy is a blessing.I give 3 stars instead of 4 because of the occasional dud strip. But overall I’ve been pleased and will continue to buy these. Placing a new order today.

I priced the Trak2 glucose test strips and they were $50 - outrageous!! These are a little different and you need to set the meter to a much lower setting but my Vet said they were just as effective. They were only $10, a great price

I read through all the reviews before I purchased these strips. I read through some diabetic cat forums as well. From what most users said, the results from using these strips were comparable to using the Alphatrak strips. However, I was only able to get one strip to read that there was blood on the strip. It requires a much larger blood sample than the Alphatrak strips to begin with, but then several strips never picked up the blood sample at all. I had to stick my poor cat multiple times to get enough blood, and it still wouldn't register. I gave up after wasting several strips and royally pissing my very tolerant cat off. I would love a cheaper alternative than the Alphatrak strips, but they actually have to work, so I guess it's back to the name brand. Some reviews I've read said that Freestyle strips work in the Alphatrak but I've never tried those, but that may something I try next.

This product is perfect. It's a better, less expensive to buy and works great with my dog's test machine. Highly recommend.

I use these with the Alpha Trax monitor for pets. They work great. They are a better value than others I have tried. I have these setup on subscribe and save. I don’t have to think about running low.

I'm thinking the quality control department has gone on vacation or scaled back. These strips used to be great. But as of late we've received several bottles with strips that won't read. One particular bottle was so bad we thought our meter was broken and ordered a new meter. And to make matters worse they increased the cost. So not only are we losing more strips we are also paying more, thus the cost per strip is starting to get to the point that we may switch back to the OEM strips.YMMV. A few months ago I would have highly recommended this product, today I'd say make sure you have a few OEM strips on hand when you get a bad batch of these.

Nous avons testé les bandelettes PetSure avec notre glucomètre Alphatrak 2 pour notre chat diabétique. Au départ nous n’avions pas pensé changer le code du glucomètre et les résultats n’étaient pas du tout semblables aux résultats obtenus avec les bandelettes originales. Une fois le bon code programmé les résultats sont très précis (0.2 de différence). Nous continuerons d’utiliser ces bandelettes pour une fraction du prix des originales. (Le code à programmer est indiqué sur la boîte et sur le pot des bande).

Great product no issues. Delivery problems on our first order so this was delayed. Second-order was then expedited but third time (regular Prime deliver was actually faster)Order time and holidays may play a part, just give yourself time so you don't run out

Works well with our alpha trak 2 meter. Will buy again. You have to hold the strip on the blood a little longer however I get a reading every time . I think I prefer these to original alpha trak test strips.

Did not work at all. Just ran out of my other ones and went to do a blood curve for my lab and none of the straps worked

These strips seem to work as well as the original Alpha2 test strips.Much less money. I ordered 60 to try them out, now waiting on a 2nd delivery of 360.
