Diabetic Dog Companion is a free tool for owners of dogs with diabetes. It helps with part-meal dose adjustments, glucose curve logging, diet planning, and puts the most important facts close at hand.
It never sets or changes your dog's insulin dose — that is always your vet's decision. All guidance is sourced from the 2018 AAHA Diabetes Management Guidelines and manufacturer package inserts.

If your dog ate only part of the meal, adjust the dose.
For a recurring part-meal or a second missed meal in a row, phone your vet rather than adjusting the dose yourself.
Never inject less than 11 hours after the previous injection. Two doses working at the same time significantly increases the risk of a dangerous low. If your injection is late, skip that dose rather than shortening the gap.
The green band is the target range (5.5–14 mmol/L · 100–250 mg/dL). Gold dashed lines are your meal/injection times; the green shaded bands are walks. The lowest point (the nadir) is marked in red — it is the number your vet uses to judge the dose.

If you see any of these — act immediately. Do not wait to test.
Never give insulin during or after a hypoglycaemic episode until glucose is fully stabilised and your vet has advised you on when to resume the normal schedule.
Common causes include: too much insulin relative to food eaten, a smaller meal than usual, unusual exercise shortly after injection, a fur shot where the dose was repeated, or the Ketoconazole drug interaction (which reduces the body's ability to counteract insulin). Tell your vet which you suspect.
Enter your dog's ideal weight and activity level to see daily calories — then the food list below shows grams per meal.
Based on the Waltham Energy Calculator. Use ideal weight — not current weight if your dog has lost condition.
Mix up to 3 foods and check the total calories and combined fat. Search by name to pick from the list — or enter values manually for any food not listed (e.g. fresh mackerel).

Diabetic dogs do best on low fat, high protein food with fibre to steady blood glucose. The right balance depends on your dog's weight. Tap to see the targets, then use the sort buttons in the food finder below to check your food against them.
Guidance figures based on the 2018 AAHA Diabetes Management Guidelines and current veterinary nutrition evidence. Always confirm your dog's diet with your vet.
