Human blood glucose monitors and pet-specific blood glucose monitors are significantly different!
Compared to humans, the physiological differences in cats and dogs result in a distinct distribution pattern of glucose in the bloodstream. In humans, blood glucose is primarily distributed between blood cells and plasma, while in pets, the majority of blood glucose is found in the plasma.
If you are still using a human blood glucose monitor to measure your beloved pet’s glucose levels, it is strongly recommended to switch to a pet-specific blood glucose monitor as soon as possible.
Human Meters Are Not Accurate If Used For Animal Blood Glucose Or Ketone Monitoring
The human blood glucose/ketone meter is not suitable for animal blood glucose or ketone testing because there are significant differences in blood composition between humans and animals. For example, parameters like hematocrit and blood cell distribution vary considerably in dogs, cats, horses, and cows compared to humans. The design and calibration of human blood glucose/ketone meters are specifically tailored to human blood parameters and intended for human use only. Therefore, attempting to use a human blood glucose/ketone meter for animal testing may result in inaccurate readings, which is not conducive to monitoring animal health.
In contrast, GAHD Vet Premium is designed and precisely calibrated for the blood parameters of dogs, cats, cows, sheep, and horses. It is a testing device specifically tailored for these animals, providing more accurate and reliable test results to ensure more effective health monitoring for animals.
We’re Helping Pet Owners For Dogs And Cats With Diabetes At Homes
Suitable For All Ages, Breeds And Sizes Of Dogs And Cats With Diabetes
GAHD Vet Premium is specifically developed and calibrated for animals with diabetes, and it is very similar to the blood glucose monitoring system your veterinarian uses in the clinic or hospital for diabetes testing. The GAHD Vet Premium test results of blood glucose levels for dogs and cats are as accurate as IDEXX Catalyst One Analyzer tests.
GAHD Vet Premium is also intended for use by veterinary professionals and pet owners to help your veterinarian adjust your dog’s or cat’s insulin dose by tracking your dog’s or cat’s blood glucose levels at home.
We’re Helping Farm Owners For Dairy Cows With Subclinical Ketosis In Farms
Provides Accurate Test Results In The Subclinical BHBA Threshold For Predicting Health Risk In Early Lactation Dairy Cows
GAHD Vet Premium is also specifically developed and calibrated for dairy cows or other animals with subclinical ketosis, and it is also very similar to the blood ketone monitoring system your veterinarian uses in the clinic or hospital for subclinical ketosis testing. The GAHD Vet Premium test results of blood ketone levels for dairy cows are as accurate as AU480 Chemistry Analyzer tests.
