Why a special blood glucose meter for dogs and cats?

Blood from humans and animals is different!

The distribution of glucose in blood from humans and animals is different. On the one hand, humans and animals have a different hematocrit value (human: 37-50%, dog: 37-55%, cat 27-47%), meaning that the number of red blood cells differs.

As the size of red blood cells also varies considerably between species, glucose is found in varying concentrations in blood plasma.

 

 

The WellionVet blood glucose meters respect all these differences and are calibrated specially for different species, like cats and dogs.
