Coming at a time when obesity and its associated health issues are becoming increasingly common among domestic pets, the new guide discusses some of the risk factors, particularly the implications that can arise if diabetes develops in dogs.

Research from the American Kennel Club indicates that diabetes mellitus is a metabolic condition that is increasingly common in dogs, particularly pets that are severely overweight, and can lead to a number of health issues, including liver dysfunction, infections of the urinary tract, seizures, and even death. As such, Dog Insider aims to help dog owners recognize risk factors and early warning signs so pets can get the timely palliative and preventive treatment they need. “Diabetes can be life-threatening if left untreated,” says a spokesperson from the organization. “As pet owners, it’s our responsibility to arm ourselves with knowledge so that we can ensure our furry friends stay happy and healthy.”

The guide provides context with a discussion of the causes of diabetes, which are dependent on numerous factors, including genetic predisposition, environment, pre-existing conditions such as pancreatitis, and a dog’s breed, as well as age.

In addition to a list of common risk factors and explanation of how veterinarians diagnose diabetes, the article explains treatment options, including insulin injections, lifestyle changes, and regular monitoring of eyesight and skin integrity in diabetic dogs.

Readers will also find information about different types of insulin for diabetic dogs, ideal diets with low fat and high fiber content, life expectancy for pets with diabetes, and advice on how to monitor blood glucose levels.

Dog Insider’s team highlights the fact that, although diabetes in dogs can be treated and severity can be reduced, the best thing owners can do for their pets is help prevent the condition from arising in the first place, through healthy eating habits and making sure dogs stay fit with plenty of exercise.
