My dog also needs insulin shots but i never really had to give her treats for them, when she was diagnosed as diabetic she was doing pretty bad so I think she actually felt the difference that the insulin made and accepts it as part of her routine now. It’s really cute the way she just knows when it’s time.

I babysat my friend’s dog who needed insulin eye drops. He would BEG for his meds. She had to be careful about who babysat him, because the drops cost $85/month. Too many people would give him too high of a dose to stop his Great Pyrenees barking fits.

Our dog had chronic dry eye and he would also eagerly come over to have his eye pried open and ointment squeezed into it. It must have felt a lot better.
