Quotes:
“Although certain breeds are more genetically prone to diabetes, most types of dogs and cats can be diagnosed with the disease,” said Dr. Helms. “We must pay attention to our pets’ diet habits and behaviors, such as drinking too much water or urinating too often, in order to recognize that they might have this illness. The importance of lab testing should not be taken lightly, for it must be done in order for pets to receive necessary insulin shots for treatment.”
