Ad libitum. Your dog should have always fresh water available. Your pet's body is trying to fight the high blood glucose level by expelling the excess sugar out of their body through the urine. Once your pet is regulated this will stop. Be sure to switch your dog to a dog food suitable for diabetic dogs: it should be rich in fiber and contain grains, such as rice, that gradually release carbohydrates in the body. The food should also be low in fat to reduce the risk of Heart disease. The amount of food that your dog eats must be carefully monitored. It is better for diabetic dogs that they eat 2 or 3 smaller meals a day than one large meal to keep blood sugar levels even. I recently saw a new pet food called Weight Control Active, created by an Italian vet and that was created to help dogs with Diabetes mellitus. It contains sea-caught fish and is highly digestible. Consult your vet for additional advice on what to give your pet.
