About Caninsulin VetPen Needles

Caninsulin VetPen Needles 29G are high-quality single-use insulin needles designed for use exclusively with the Caninsulin VetPen device. They enable accurate and comfortable insulin injection for dogs and cats undergoing diabetes treatment. Each sterile needle features a 29-gauge, 12 mm (½ inch) length for smooth and controlled subcutaneous delivery.

These needles are specifically calibrated to match the Caninsulin U40 insulin cartridge system, ensuring reliable dosing precision and minimal injection discomfort.

When to Use These Needles

Your vet will recommend Caninsulin VetPen Needles when:

• Your pet has been prescribed Caninsulin insulin and uses the VetPen injection device.

• Consistent daily insulin administration is required for diabetic control.

• You need single-use sterile needles for safe and hygienic injections.

Using the correct needle ensures consistent insulin absorption and prevents dose errors caused by incompatibility with non-VetPen needles.
