There is more to caring for a diabetic pet than just administering insulin. Pet owners must also carefully monitor their dog or cat at home, tracking basic data each day, such as amount of food and water consumed, amount of insulin administered and more. In addition, a pet owner must also develop a keen eye and awareness, so he or she can recognize slight changes in a pet’s behavior or habits. These changes may mean the pet is at risk, and the insulin dose needs adjustment.
