How to Give Your Dog Insulin Injections | Step-by-Step Veterinary Guide

Has your dog been diagnosed with diabetes? In this video, I walk you through how I safely prepare and administer insulin injections to a dog at home. I'll show you how to: • Prepare insulin before use • Choose the correct insulin syringe • Draw up the prescribed dose • Give a subcutaneous insulin injection • Safely dispose of used needles Whether you're giving your dog's first insulin injection or simply need a refresher, my goal is to help you feel more confident caring for your pet. Please note that medical recommendations can change over time. If your pet uses Vetsulin®, follow the current manufacturer's instructions for handling and mixing the insulin. Different insulin products have different preparation requirements, so always follow the directions for the specific insulin prescribed by your veterinarian. This video is intended for educational purposes and should not replace the advice of your veterinarian. If you have questions about your pet's diabetes treatment or insulin dose, please contact your veterinary team.
