Question 1

How do I get dog diabetes medicine and insulin prescriptions online at Chewy Pharmacy?

Accepted Answer

Get dog diabetes medicine and insulin prescriptions online at Chewy Pharmacy by getting an exam, tests and prescription from your vet. Then, go online and add the appropriate prescription product to your cart. At checkout, you will be able to add your pet’s name and vet contact info so Chewy can verify the prescription on your behalf.

Question 2

What prescription dog diabetes medicine is best?

Accepted Answer

The best prescription diabetes medicine for your canine should be determined by your vet. Vetsulin and ProZinc are commonly prescribed for dogs, but brands like Lantus may be suggested instead. Some vets will prescribe an oral diabetes medication instead of insulin, especially if at-home insulin therapy is not possible. Talk to your vet about your options and follow all recommended treatment protocols closely.

Question 3

What dog breeds are more likely to develop diabetes?

Accepted Answer

Dog breeds more likely to develop diabetes include cocker spaniels, dachshunds, Doberman pinschers, German shepherds, golden retrievers, Labrador retrievers, Pomeranians and terriers. Any dog breed can develop diabetes, and diabetes becomes more common as dogs get older. Even younger dogs can develop diabetes mellitus, however, so be sure to visit your vet if you notice the clinical symptoms in your canine.

Question 4

What are the signs that my dog has diabetes?

Accepted Answer

The signs that your dog may have diabetes include excessive thirst and urination, weight loss despite increased appetite, decreased appetite, cloudy eyes and chronic or recurring infections including skin and urinary tract infections. See your veterinarian if your dog exhibits any of these symptoms, as they may signal diabetes or another serious illness.

Question 5

How do I give my dog an insulin shot?

Accepted Answer

Give your dog an insulin shot by following the instructions given to you by your vet. You will need to draw up the right dose into the syringe and then inject it at a 45-degree angle into a fold of skin that you will need to lift up on your dog’s back or shoulders. Your vet can demonstrate the correct technique and suggest tips for making the process easier, and you can find instructional videos online, as well. Always give insulin shots after your dog has eaten to avoid dangerous blood sugar drops.

Question 6

How do I set up Autoship for my prescription dog diabetes medicine and insulin?

Accepted Answer

Once you set up Autoship, you can cancel or change your preferences any time you want. You must have a valid prescription or refills on file with Chewy for Autoship deliveries to occur.
