About the Caninsulin U40 Syringes

Caninsulin U40 Syringes are precisely calibrated designer syringes for use with Caninsulin 40 IU/ml suspension in dogs and cats. The pack comes with fixed fine-gauge needles (29G × ½″) and clear unit graduations to ensure accurate dosing of insulin in pets with diabetes. According to the supplier: “These syringes are only recommended for use with Caninsulin products as they are specifically calibrated for Caninsulin dosage.”

When to Use These Syringes

Veterinary nutrition and endocrinology specialists recommend these syringes when your pet:

• Has been prescribed Caninsulin for diabetes mellitus and requires regular subcutaneous injections.

• Uses U40-insulin (40 IU units per ml) rather than human U100 format; thus the correct syringe calibration is essential.

• Needs precise dosing increments (e.g., the 0.5 ml version allows up to 20 units max; the 1 ml version allows up to 40 units).

Key Features and Benefits

• Clear barrel marked in units (U40 scale) for accurate dose reading specific to Caninsulin.

• Includes ultra-fine 29G × ½″ fixed needle, designed to minimise discomfort and ensure safe administration.

• Two size options:

  • 0.5 ml capacity (pack of 30) – ideal for lower dose pets; maximum dose ~20 units.

  • 1 ml capacity – suitable for higher dose dogs or when dose ≥20 units.

• Helps reduce dosing errors and supports safe long-term diabetic management.

• Supplied in boxes with clear labelling and compatible with specific insulins: “For U-40 Caninsulin ONLY.”

Dosage & Administration Guidance

Use each syringe once only (single-use). Administer as instructed by your veterinarian when giving each insulin injection:

1. Prepare insulin vial, draw up correct units using the U40 scale.

2. Insert needle subcutaneously at the site recommended by your vet (e.g., scruff region).

3. Dispose of syringe safely in a sharps container immediately after use.
   Ensure you match the correct syringe size to the prescribed insulin dose and always use with the correct insulin strength (40 IU/ml).

Precautions & Storage

• For animal use only. Keep out of reach of children.

• Use with Caninsulin only. Do not substitute with syringes calibrated for human U100 insulin.

• Store syringes in a dry, room-temperature place; keep packaging sealed until use.

• Do not reuse syringes — risk of contamination and inaccurate dosing.

• Consult your vet immediately if you suspect the wrong syringe unit, overdose or underdose has occurred, or if your pet is unwell.

Can I use these syringes with human insulin?
No. These are U40-scale syringes made for Caninsulin. Using with U100 human insulin may lead to under- or overdosing.
Do I need a vet prescription for the syringes?
Yes. The product is listed as a prescription item and requires vet verification.
Which size should I choose?
If your dog’s insulin dose is up to approximately 20 units per injection, choose the 0.5 ml size. For higher doses, the 1 ml size is more appropriate.

Use a new syringe for each injection; do not reuse.
Where do I dispose of used syringes?
