Yes, I have a diabetic dog.

Bear has been diabetic for over 3 years. There are times when he doesn't want to eat, but I know he has to. I have tried several things to get him started. Try one of these.

Water from a can of tuna
a sprinkle of garlic powder
a sprinkle of parmesan cheese
the liquid from a can of cat food (hard for them to resist)
baby food, meat variety, mixed in
diced, cooked chicken

Bear lost about 9 lbs over the first year just by being on a controlled diet. He gets exactly 1 cup of Hills WD for breakfast at 6AM with a little cat food liquid on top. (I feed cats at the same time). An hour later he gets one cookie, a dab of peanut butter with his thyroid pill and a shot of insulin. At 5PM he gets 1 cup of WD with a tablespoon of yogurt mixed in, a sprinkle of garlic powder, and 1/4 cup of either chopped brocolli or chopped green beans. At 7PM he gets one baby carrot and another shot of insulin.

And I can't forget what time it is, cause he's sure to remind me

I was a regular on the Pets with Diabetes board on EZboard until recently. They are a really great group. They can give you a lot of good advise and let you vent when you need to. Unfortunately I can only access the net from work and I have been blocked from all of EZboard.

What dose is Bandit on?
