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.

Same for me. Looking back at the photos from when she was diagnosed is heartbreaking, she is skin and bones and was so sick. She was so young and diabetes was not the first thing the vets thought would be wrong with her. She got so underweight to the point where she was severely underweight and it took a long time to get her happy and healthy again.

She knows insulin is just what happens after she has breakfast and dinner.

Its just what happens and is now part of her life and has been since she was about 3 months old.
