The starter kit includes a handy travel pouch that holds the VetPen, needles, needle remover, and insulin, as well as the dose selector adaptor and release button extension. This insulin pen to be used only with Caninsulin® for diabetes - NO prescription is required for the VetPen.
This device has been designed exclusively for use with Caninsulin® in diabetic dogs and cats. The VetPen makes for easy handling, dosing and more rapid injection preparation. Measure the doses simply by turning the dial to draw up the selected dose, then insert the needle through the pet's skin and inject the insulin with the push of a button (which reduces the chance of dosing errors).

This is not to be used with other types of insulin. The VetPen needs to be refrigerated after a cartridge has been started, Caninsulin® cartridges should be refrigerated and protected from light before opening, and the VetPen should always be stored or carried with the needle removed and the cap on.
To clean the device, wipe it with a damp cloth and do not immerse it in water. The VetPen pen is reusable - prime the device before the use of each new cartridge and mix the insulin prior to each injection. When all the insulin has been used, you simply remove the empty cartridge and insert a new one.
