What is Diabetes in Cats & Dogs?
Diabetes mellitus is a condition that affects your pet’s ability to regulate blood sugar levels. In dogs, diabetes is often insulin-dependent, meaning insulin injections are usually required for life. In cats, diabetes can sometimes be linked to obesity and, in some cases, may even be reversible with the right treatment and management plan.
Common symptoms of diabetes in pets can include:
-
Increased thirst
-
Frequent urination
-
Weight loss
-
Increased appetite
-
Lethargy
-
Changes in coat condition
-
Weakness or reduced mobility
Recognising the symptoms early and seeking veterinary advice quickly can make a significant difference to your pet’s health and long-term management.
Managing Diabetes in Pets
Managing diabetes in cats and dogs often involves:
-
Regular insulin injections
-
Monitoring food intake and feeding schedules
-
Routine vet check-ups
-
Monitoring blood sugar levels

Maintaining a healthy weight
While diabetes is a lifelong condition for many pets, thousands of dogs and cats continue to live full, happy lives with the right care and support.
