Looking for the best treats for diabetic dogs

Hi Fire Dan, Finding safe and tasty treats for a diabetic dog can be tricky! Since keeping blood sugar stable is the main goal, I’d recommend sticking with low-carb, high-protein options. Some great choices include:

• Lean meats (boiled chicken, turkey, or even freeze-dried meat treats)
• Low-glycemic veggies like green beans, cucumber slices, or zucchini
• Small amounts of berries (like blueberries or raspberries) if your vet says fruit is okay
• Homemade treats using ingredients like pumpkin (plain, not pie filling) or coconut flour

If you prefer store-bought options, look for treats high in lean protein, low in fat and calories, and avoid ones with fillers like corn, wheat, or sugary additives. I’ve heard some diabetic dog owners swear by single-ingredient treats like freeze-dried chicken or salmon. See my reviews of the best treats for diabetic dogs for some specific product recommendations and other tips about giving your diabetic dog treats.

Also, it’s always a good idea to check with your vet before introducing anything new, just to make sure it fits your pup’s specific needs. Hope this helps!
