5.0 out of 5 stars Very accurate results, excellent value over competition
I am so happy I bought this meter! I have been using the Alpha Trak 2, and while it did a good job, the strips were very expensive and I have to test my little guy several times a day right now, along with doing a curve once a week, until we get his BG under control, so I decided to try the Advocate Pet Test meter and strips because they are much less expensive. I am sooooo glad I did. Not only are the strips less than half the price of the Alpha Trak 2 strips, it is easier for me to do the test because the Advocate meter has a mechanism that causes it to draw the blood up into the strip, kind of like a sucking/drawing action, so I need to use less blood for the test, ultimately making it easier on my little Maltese, who by the way, is the love of my life.I like the meter because I don't have to code it and it has a very easy to read format so I can test my dog, or one of my cats, should God forbid, one of them develop diabetes as well. The set up was super fast and easy, too. I will make one suggestion.......don't put the strip all the way in until you are sure you have a blood drop ready to test because as I found out through trial and error, if you don't get enough blood on the strip the first time, it will give you a false low reading, like ridiculously low...as in 26 or 28, or something questionably low, or it will just say LO.This meter comes with 25 starter strips, 21 gauge lancets, control solution, and a nice carrying case. I would suggest buying an additional box of 50 test strips because 25 will go by pretty fast, especially if your pup is like mine and needs several tests daily. I found a box of 50 on Bolo for $23.24 with free shipping, at the time of this posting. Advocate PetTest Strips, 50 StripsAt the end of the day, it doesn't really matter how much more cost effective the Advocate system is over the Alpha Trak 2, if the results are inaccurate, so I decided to put them side-by-side, use the same drop of blood, and test them at the same time to see if there was any difference in the results, and if so, to what degree. I did this on 5 separate tests and the largest variance I found was 3 points, one was 117, the other was 114. I took a photo of one of the comparison tests, one was 87, the other was 88. I would say that is definitely close enough to be called accurate. The date is off by one day and the time is showing a.m. on one and p.m. on the other, but that is because I messed up when I was setting up the Alpha Trak 2 and I am too lazy to fix it. LOL. So although the dates/times do not match exactly on the meter in the photo, I can assure you the results are from the same drop of blood, taken at the same time and compared immediately.Since canine diabetes is not reversible, testing is something I will be doing for the rest of my Maltese's life. He is only 6 years old now, so I am looking at having to buy test strips for the next 10+ years. With the great prices on Bolo, I will be saving thousands of dollars by switching to the Advocate meter and test strips. My little pup is everything to me and I want to make sure his diabetes is controlled so he can live a long, happy life, right by my side.
5.0 out of 5 stars This is a Bargain!!
I already had the Advocate PetTest Glucometer which works just fine, it's easy to use and it serves its purpose. I have a newly diagnosed Dog with Diabetes. His numbers were really high so we were spending a lot of time and $$$ at the Vet. I needed to be able to check his blood sugar numbers at home. What an adventure that was. I would use the lancing device and as soon as he got pricked, he would jump and pull away, any drop of blood would get smeared on him or fly around the room. Once he would jump like that it was very difficult to actually get an ok drop of blood to use. In the end I would have to start all over, causing a lot of stress for both of us. The poor dog would hide under the bed when he knew what was coming. I needed to order more test strips and lancets and stumbled upon the Genteel Lancing Device which is supposed to be let painful for your dog. It has little rubber ends to put on your lancing device which changes how deep that prick will be, but also (if your pet doesn't jump out of your arms the minute they hear the little click) the end forms a seal against their skin and also a little suction which helps to get that sample with ease. It's really very clever, and I would recommend the package with the Genteel Device over the regular one. You can buy just the Genteel Lancing device alone, but it is much better deal to get the whole kit because you also get 50 test strips, 50 lancets, and 10 butterfly lancets which are just a thinner needle that pokes them. So, get the whole kit because you are going to need to purchase lancets and test strips sooner or later.
1.0 out of 5 stars Horrifying Comparison - Innacurate Device
I had purchased the Advocate PetTest Glucose Monitoring System to replace the Covetrus Vet Gluco Guage that I have. I do know that the Covetrus is accurate as I have taken My Cat Sam's Blood Glucose before going to the Vet and told them my reading and then they would test and receive the same/very similar readings. This happened at the Animal Hospital as well. This is enough to convince me that my Covetrus Vet Gluco Guage is accurate and reliable. The problem is that the test strips were so much more expensive. I decided to try the Advocate PetTest Glucose Monitoring System due to the economic benefit.I received the Advocate PetTest Glucose Monitoring System. At 11:15 PM (ish), I ran the control test. The control sample came back in the level 3 range as it should have. I then took My Cat Sam's BG . I did also have two test strips left for my Covetrus, so I decided to compare. The Covetrus read the BG at 463 and Advocate read the BG at 512. That is a difference of +49! The next day at 11:00 AM I decided to compare again with my last Covetrus Strip. The Covetrus read the BG at 517 and Advocate read the BG at 455. Now a difference of -62? I ran the control test again, and it again tested in the level 3 range (383 I believe). So, I poked my poor boy again and did 2 more BG readings on the Advocate. The first was 583 (difference of +66), and then the next sample just read "HI".Let's process this: Within minutes the Advocate gave 3 readings of 455, 583, then HI (in the midst of a successful control reading). I believe this to be too much of a difference to trust this device. Just based on having another (trusted) meter to compare with and receiving two very different BG numbers is very scary, but to add that I have received 3 very different BG results within minutes is just horrifying.I will be requesting to return the Advocate PetTest Glucose Monitoring System.Now, I will happily pay for the expensive but reliable Covetrus Test Strips.I have attached photo's. The time on the two meter's will be different by one hour. I have had the Covetrus for almost a year and have never adjusted for daylight saving's time. I promise that these tests were taken within minutes of each other and are not an hour apart. My Cat Sam will vouch for me. I urge all Advocate PetTest Glucose Monitoring System owners to please do a triple BG test to see what results you receive. Are they consistent? My Cat Sam also request's that you please urgently do this on behalf of all other Cat's.Thank you.
Easy to use
This Glucose monitor is so much easier to use then the last brand we tried. Seems to give an accurate reading and does not require a lot of blood like the last type did. Much less stress on the cats and on me.
Bought this for the Genteel device and it was a game changer.
I already had the PetTest monitor but was trying to get blood from my dog with the lancet device it came with, which was proving difficult and stressing both my dog and me out. Thought i would try the Genteel Lancing devise and what a game changer. Blood everytime. Easy to use and instructions are clear. The device releases the lancet and you have some rubber like rings which give different pressures. They form a vacuum over the spot where the lancet has hit and after a few second you take of the device and hey presto lovely spot of blood. This is then put on the strip which goes into the monitor and gives you a reading. The old one would make a loud clicking noise when using the lancet device which would make my dog jump this one does not.The price may seem expensive but when you work it out the strips are £24.99 for 50 on their own and the lancing device does not scare, upset my dog at all. She is quite happy to sit there and have it done. Plus i dont get anxious trying to get a decent drop of blood from her, not getting one and wasting strips. Brilliant piece of kit.
Glucose test
This machine is brilliant does exactly what it should do and the readings are correct easy to use. Highly recommend
No funciona.
La lanzadera no sirve para nada. Aun poniéndolo al máximo casi no penetra, con lo que es difícil que produzca la gota de sangre.El glucometro necesita mucha sangre para funcionar. Incluso buscando la sangre de mi perro ( 8 kg) con aguja de inyección, o sacas mucha ( más de 1 buena gota) o da error.Resultado: no me sirve para nada.
