FAQ

How do I know if these strips are compatible with my glucometer?

Glucorx Vet Test Strips are designed exclusively for the Glucorx Vet glucometer. They are not compatible with other glucometer models unless specifically stated by the manufacturer. Please check your device model before purchasing.

Are they safe to use at home without veterinary supervision?

Yes, they are safe for home use as long as you follow the manufacturer's instructions and your veterinarian's guidelines. However, the interpretation of results and adjustments to treatment should be done under veterinary supervision, especially in cases of diabetes.

How often should I check my pet's glucose?

The frequency depends on your dog or cat's clinical condition. In general, veterinarians recommend daily or several-times-a-day measurements during the stabilization phase of treatment, and then less frequently. Consult your veterinarian to establish a personalized monitoring plan.

How should I store the strips so they don't get damaged?

Store the strips in their original, tightly sealed packaging in a cool, dry place (between 2 and 30°C), away from direct sunlight and moisture. Do not refrigerate or freeze them. Use each strip before the expiration date printed on the package.

Can I use these strips if my pet has anemia or is dehydrated?

In general, yes, but the results can be affected by conditions such as severe anemia, dehydration, or lipemia. If your pet has any of these conditions, inform your veterinarian so they can interpret the results correctly.

What do I do if the strip gives an error or an abnormal reading?

If an error message appears, check that the test strip is inserted correctly, that the sample is sufficient, and that the glucometer is calibrated. If the reading is abnormal (very high or very low), repeat the measurement with a new test strip and contact your veterinarian if you are still unsure or if your pet shows symptoms.
