They're just as sharp as everyone says
From Raleigh, NCComments about Terumo NeedlesNeedle size is a trade-off: bigger needle = faster flow, but more discomfort for the pet. 21 gauge Terumos are a good compromise. It's tough learning to stick a needle into your pet. Two tricks I've learned make it easier: The faster you put the needle in, the less discomfort for your pet. If you're quick about it, then by the time they realize they're being stuck, it's already over. When you put the needle on the tube end, orient it so that the bevel is up when the tube is relaxed and not trying to untwist itself. Make it so that you don't have to hold any twist in the tube to keep the bevel facing up. -
Great needles
From Seymour, IndianaComments about Terumo NeedlesI use these needles to give my cat Sub Q fluids. The needles the vet gave us were huge and I read a recommendation from a CKD site for these. While the 19g thin wall didn't go over well for my finicky, hard to handle cat, the 21g ultra thin walls worked great. He didn't even flinch. I was glad to find this site so I could try a couple of each to see what worked best instead of buying a whole box. -
The thin wall makes giving kitty his fluids MUCH easier.
From Princeton, NJComments about Terumo NeedlesThe thin wall makes the procedure of giving kitty his sub q fluids much quicker and easier. The needle seems much sharper so it goes in easier & is less painful for him. -
Best needles ever!
From Chicago, ILComments about Terumo NeedlesTerumo needles are extra sharp so they go in easily causing less discomfort to my cats. This makes them worth every penny! -
Awesome needles for my feline kids
From TennesseeComments about Terumo NeedlesNo cat likes to have a needle poked in them but when they have kidney disease in the late stages they need fluids sub Q. One of my Persians just HATES the poke of needles so in a search for something better than what my Vet carries I read the ultra thin Terumo are the best most comfortable for them due to the thin walls on the needle. My Persian Glamour Girl approves and I'm grateful Vet RX carries the awesome product -

Huge improvement from vet's needles!
From Sonoma, CAComments about Terumo NeedlesStruggled with the larger, thicker needles from the vet. Found glowing reviews of these at blogs by owners of cats with kidney disease. What a huge difference! Needle slides in smoothly, cat doesn't cry, flow is as fast as the vet 18 monoject which I had to push through her skin. Easier on me and my cat. Cheaper than getting needles from the vet, too. -
Terumo vs BP Needles
From Oakland, caComments about Terumo NeedlesUse these for giving subcutaneous fluids to my cat. MUCH better - My cat barely feels the needle compared to the 18g standard wall: they go in much more smoothly. The 19g thin wall have the same flow rate as the 18g standard wall, so no change in time to give fluids. -
These are the best needles for giving sub q fluids!
From Eden Prairie, MNComments about Terumo NeedlesAdministering Sub-Q fluids to my feline son, Alistair, is so easy using the 19 gauge Terumo needles. They are so sharp with an amazing bevel. These needles are by far, second to none!-

These needles are a God send.
From Middle Village, NYComments about Terumo NeedlesI don';t know what you use them for, but they work great for me using them when I have to sub q my Yorkie, The vet uses 18 gauge, but I sub q at home and use these needles instead of the vets. She doesn't cry or flinch when I use these. I broke my heart when my Yorkie cried with the vet's needles. -
Great
From Los Angeles, caComments about Terumo NeedlesI work at a very large animal sanctuary and we use those needles to give fluids. Easy to handle and very sharp. I use them for my personal cats too. I would not try any other but these.

I'm looking for a Monoject 250 20 x 3/4 A needle for subq fluids for my cat. I can't seem to find that gauge anywhere. Do you sell those? I got the above-named needle from my vet but cannot seem to find them online anywhere.?
-
Unfortunately we do not sell the Monoject brand of needles at this time. The closest size that we currently carry is manufactured by Terumo, 20 gauge, length 1.5 inches. You may consider speaking with your veterinarian to see which types of needles are the best option for your pet’s needs and the type of medication you are administering. Your veterinarian may be able to provide you with a supply, or recommend an alternative size that is more available for purchase.

Do you offer the Terumo 20g thin wall needles in 1" length? I need this size for administering subcutaneous fluids and find 1.5" is too long.?
-
Currently, Terumo does not manufacture the 20g veterinary needles in 1 inch length. If you feel that you need a shorter length needle, you may discuss this with your veterinarian to determine if another size needle will work for you and your pet.
Verified Answer -
This is the length I need as well as 1/5" is too long. The cat gets subcutaneous fluids every day so there is a lot of scar tissue

So to be sure the thin wall NN2525R terumo needles will screw into a Luer lock syringe? Similar to the way a Luer lock needle is? Or are they for slip tip only? This is what has been throwing me off.?
-
Terumo needles have a slip tip end, and they can be used with both luer lock and slip tip syringes.

Hello, First, I would like to confirm that you have the Terumo 19 gauge 1" thin wall and 21 gauge 1" ultra thin wall needles in stock. Do I first place the order on your site and then have my vet fax the prescription to you or do you require the prescription first? What is your fax number that my vet can use to send the prescription? I live in New York. Is there any prohibition against you shipping the needles once the prescription has been verified? Thanks in advance for your reply. Sincerely, Lonnie M.?

Will you be carrying the 20G x 1" needles? That is a good one for subcu fluids. A 1-1/2 " needle is a bit long for subcutaneous fluids, and the 20G is really a desirable gauge to use. Thanks, Cynthia?

same question: 1" thin wall (or ultra thin wall) 20 Gauge needles, please.
