I'm learning, quite a bit!
I was reading for a couple hours last night, and diets for diabetic dogs seem to be similar to humans with diabetes. They need protein and lower fat, and a small amount of complex carbohydrates.
There are a lot of high-quality dry foods available, and I'm leaning toward the "Orijen" brand. It's made in Canada, but has good reviews for a diabetic canine food choice.
We'll see - I'm new to this, and it's going to be trial and error for awhile, trying to keep her blood sugar stable. I need to be a lot more disciplined with feeding times too, as she needs her insulin injection right after she eats. Before, we all kind of just grazed 24/7!
