Our dog has had diabetes for six years. He started out on Vetsulin, which was later taken off the market by the FDA, so now he os Humulin-N. I have found that the best price for generic brand needles is at the Publix's pharmacy. In our case we use 1/2cc 1/2" 30 gauge needles, and get a box of 100 for $17.99. They are not specifically for pets, but this is exactly what our vet provided. Pharmacies that do not carry a "store" or "generic" brand charge easily twice as much. Hope this helps.
