Diabetes in dogs cannot be cured or reversed, thus if you have a diabetic dog, your extra vigilance, proactive approach, and knowledge will go a long way in ensuring your pet’s health and wellbeing.

Keeping a diabetic dog healthy is a multi-factorial approach, including weight maintenance, feeding an appropriate diet, administering the right amount of insulin, being able to identify any changes in your dog’s condition, and knowing what to do if something is wrong.

Diet, insulin, and exercise are very important factors which can help keep blood sugar levels at a normal range. Obesity can actually pave the way for diabetes to set in, or it can exacerbate an existing diabetic condition. Keeping your pet’s weight within healthy parameters can go a long way in improving his health and making the problem far less acute.
