These 29G/12mm needles are engineered for accurate and convenient insulin delivery, prioritizing pet safety through a sterile, single-use design.

FAQs
Can I reuse these needles if I wipe them with alcohol?
No. Caninsulin VetPen Needles are designed for single use only. Reusing needles can cause pain due to blunting, introduce infection, and lead to inaccurate dosing.
Are these needles compatible with other insulin pens?
No, these needles are specifically designed to fit the Caninsulin VetPen delivery system only.
How should I dispose of these needles?
Used needles should be placed in a puncture-resistant sharps container. Check with your local waste management or veterinarian for specific local regulations on medical waste disposal.
What does 29G mean?
29G refers to the needle gauge, which indicates the thickness. 29G is the standard size chosen for the VetPen to balance fluid flow and pet comfort.
How many needles come in a box?
Each box contains 100 individual, sterile, disposable needles.
What should I do if I bend the needle during attachment?
Discard the bent needle immediately into your sharps container and use a new, straight needle. Never attempt to straighten a bent needle.
Troubleshooting
Insulin is leaking from the injection site
Ensure the needle is screwed on fully and correctly. If it continues, ensure you are holding the pen in the skin for the full count recommended by your vet before withdrawing.
The needle feels blunt or painful
This is a sign the needle has been reused. Always use a fresh, sterile needle for every injection to ensure the tip remains sharp and painless.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Specifically designed for the Caninsulin VetPen system for higher accuracy
- Single-use design ensures optimal hygiene and safety for your pet
- 100-count pack provides a reliable supply for daily insulin regimens
- 29-gauge size minimizes discomfort during administration
Cons
- Not compatible with standard insulin syringes or other pen injectors
- Must be disposed of properly in a sharps container after every use

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your injection, first ensure your hands are clean. Remove the needle from its sterile packaging and attach it directly to the VetPen by turning it clockwise until it stops.
Compatibility: These needles are exclusively for the Caninsulin VetPen. Do not attempt to force these needles onto other delivery devices or standard insulin syringes as this can damage the equipment and compromise the dose.
Care and Disposal: Always dispose of used needles immediately after injection into an approved sharps container. Never attempt to recap or reuse needles, as this compromises the sterile nature of the product and increases the risk of the needle tip becoming burred, which causes unnecessary pain for your pet.
