This is a page from the University of Queensland where Doctors Fleeman and Rand do their work with pet diabetes. There are a lot of links here for both dogs and cats. They have a link for vets re: managing dogs with NPH or Lente insulin:

They note that if duration is a problem, either PZI or Levemir should be tried for dogs. In 2004, they published a study comparing PZI, Lantus and pork Lente insulin in dogs--their conclusions were that Lantus is not reliable when used for dogs, so it's not surprising that Lantus was not on their list.

This is Dr. Rand's research page and you get to see who paid for the particular studies to be done. We see that the PZI|Caninsulin|Lantus 2004 study in dogs was not paid for by Intervet, but by the Canine Research and Veterinary Foundation of New South Wales.

Interestingly enough, we see a lot of advice regarding the use of both Lantus and Levemir for cats at the first link. We've seen the 2004 Lantus study they did, but while you see a lot of information about either Lantus or Levemir for cats, you see nothing regarding using Lantus for dogs.
