We would like to know the name(s) of companies manufacturing insulin delivery systems which do not use needles (We already know about the Carousel AdvantaJet) www.CarouselMed.com. We are only interested in units suitable for children as we have a diabetic poodle who jumps, leaps and squirms. Giving the needle is stressful to both her and us. Carousel has a gentleJet for children being used on 3 cats. We would be interested in finding other companies that we may contact to see if their product is being used on animals. According to Carousel the technology has been around for 30 years so there should be more companies making this type of insulin delivery system, and more studies/analysis. Any related information may be useful.

I am very sorry, but I have not been able to find specific information regarding the use of jet injectors on dogs. However, this type of device is recommended for use on children, and if your doggie is like mine, there's a lot of similarity between a dog and a small child. You might want to telephone some of the companies I mentioned and discuss the problem with them. I cannot do this in your behalf, since I have a hearing loss that prevents me from using the phone. I do know from firsthand experience how stressful it can be to have a pet who needs daily medication. I sincerely hope another Researcher will be able to find documentation on an insulin injection system for your poodle. Best wishes, pinkfreud

Thank you for this valuable information. I am a little concerned that we are going to use this on a dog who can't tell us whether it hurts or not. I have the name of one person using one of these on a cat. I would love to be able to speak to someone (or read) who has used this device on a 25 lb poodle. My husband says you are the best researcher on Google so maybe you can do the impossible and find a dog user. If not, ours may be the first and I am grateful for the information you were able to find. Neil's wife ps: Poodle is our family, finding out that I had to stick her twice a day (from a vet who spent 10 minutes telling us how to do it) threw me into depression and now I have to take medication. We are old, that doesn't help. :)
