What do you feed your diabetic dog?
Cindy asked:
My dog has appointment monday with the vet,I suspect that he has diabetis.Excessive hunger,thirst,urination and he has been more aggressive and intolerent of the other pets and he never use to like that. He’s 8-9yrs old. What will the vet do? Draw blood ,urine, will he try a diet change first before putting him on medicaton? What is the normal blood glucose range in a dog? Can you use people urine strips to check it? I know the vet will answer my questions monday,I just wanted to get “Answer” people experience with their pets and the desease. It sure would be nice to just have to change his food, but due to his age and looking back it has been going on for a while. Thanks for your knowledgeable answers!

The first thing your vet is bit different than diabetes he will most likely need medication or insulin if your vet is put on.
