Information About Buying Dog and Cat Insulin for Pets Online
Insulin is often prescribed for dogs and cats with diabetes mellitus.
Use of insulin should be done correctly and cautiously, and,
only under a veterinarian’s recommendation and close supervision.
The potency of insulin is somewhat fragile and storage instructions should also be
followed closely. In addition, proper syringes
should be used or incorrect dosing may occur.
Regarding buying insulin for pets online, insulin is not as readily available as some other pet medications
are, merely because it must be handled properly, under a very specific set of instructions
and kept refrigerated or it will lose it's potency. We've found two online pet pharmacies that carry
insulin products,
1-800-PetMeds and
Medi-Vet, both claim to ship the insulin on ice via overnight
mail (for an extra charge) to help ensure potency.
