You can buy diabetic dog food through your vet. I know they make a canned variety and imagine there is a dry type also. It will be pricey but it is important to get the proper food for your dog with a medical condition like diabetes. Good luck!

You should ask for a suggestion from your veterinarian. They're all a little different, and each case of diabetes can be a little different, as well, so the veterinarian who diagnosed the diabetes would best be able to suggest what type of food to feed. They shouldn't charge for you to call and ask for suggestions on the best foods.

Your vet probably did reccomend Royal Cannin.
While I was a vet nurse, that was the only company that did food for a diabetic dog. It is a shame it has been recalled but they do have a wet type aswell.
The equivelant in other brand is the Hills W/D but the main aim of this food is for weight loss. It is not really made for diabetics. So if you can try to stick to the royal cannin.
Good luck,
I have seen many dogs live happy and healthy lives with diabetes and I hope yours does to.
