What are IV Sets for Cats and Dogs?
- Fluid administration is often prescribed for rehydration and electrolyte balancing.
- Cats or dogs with chronic renal failure or dehydration from other medical causes often need additional fluids and nutrients to restore appropriate hydration levels, help their system flush waste, and manage electrolytes.
- Your veterinarian may prescribe giving intravenous fluids that need to be delivered under the skin or “subcutaneously.”
- For subcutaneous fluid injection, you will need an IV Set.
- This IV Set includes inches of vented tubing. A bag holds the prescribed fluid. A needle at the end of the tubing is inserted into your cat’s or dog's skin, usually between the neck and shoulder blades.
Why do cats and dogs use IV Sets?
- If your pet has been diagnosed with kidney disease, diarrhea, dehydration, electrolyte abnormalities, or another disease that causes fluid loss, your veterinarian may prescribe subcutaneous fluid injections at home.
- Fluid therapy may also be used in pets that are vomiting or have a reduction in oral fluid intake.
- Needles and IV Sets are used with fluid bags of solutions such as Lactated Ringers Solution, Sodium Chloride, or Normosol R to administer fluids.

Great tubing for Sub-Q fluids
This is the best set I've ever used. Flows quickly so the tume needed to restrain a 20-year-old cat that really hates this procedure.
I order regularly and recommend to others.
Most Liked Negative Review
Good, but a little short
My cat gets fluids; he's wily, twitchy and deaf. This tubing gets the job done, but isn't my favorite.
I use an IV pole because it's easier to do it myself (my cat can sense my boyfriend's hesitation). I wish this was at least 12" longer to add more play. The top is push on versus the twist lock variety. I've gotten used to the push on tip, but the screw on variety seems more secure.

From UndisclosedComments about IV Administration Set, BBraun, Vented, 83 Inch, 15 Drops/mL (Macro drip)VetRxdirect made my 1st prescription order uncomplicated, Fast turn around with our vet being contacted to authorize & ultra fast shipping/delivery to our door.

What is the difference between the primary set v. administration set? Thank you.?
-
The IV set we have listed as a “primary” set is 80 inches long and the plastic tubing may contain the additive DEHP. The IV set we have listed as an “administration” set is slightly longer and is 83 inches long. The “Administration” set is also free of the plastic additive DEHP and is made by the manufacturer B Braun. Both IV sets are compatible with any of the needles or bags of fluids that our pharmacy sells.
