Question
I have an eight year old dog.  She has Diabetes and requires insulin shots daily.  Now she has bouts now with Pancreatitis.  Could you suggest a safe, good dry canine food I can give her

Answer
Hi Mary,

I would really very much prefer to see this dog on a supervised home made diet - diabetes is an idiosyncratic conidtion that requires speialized monitoring, very precise recipes, and a knowledgable person to walk you through it all. In addition, pancreatitis requires serious fat restriction - this is not a formula you are likely to find in a commercial food. Is home made an option for you?

All the best, Catherine
