Diabetes care for pets: insulin schedules, dose logs, and what to tell your vet
Diabetes in cats and dogs changes daily life. The worry about dosing, hypoglycemia, and appetite changes is real — and small errors matter. Felova helps you keep calm by turning scattered notes into clear dose histories and vet-ready summaries.
Why logging matters
Accurate records of insulin doses, food, and symptoms let your veterinarian adjust treatment faster and with more confidence. Vets use timelines to spot patterns your memory can't reliably hold.
What to record (quick checklist)
- Exact insulin dose and time given
- Food type and amount (relative to dose)
- Signs of hypoglycemia: weakness, tremors, disorientation
- Appetite changes, vomiting, or abnormal behaviour
- Weight measurements and recent lab dates
Sample entry
2026-05-26 08:00 — Insulin 2.5 U (Lantus). Food: 30g wet + 10g dry. Appetite normal. No wobble. Weight: 4.6 kg.
