Pet Diabetes Awareness 🐾🩺
Did you know? November is Pet Diabetes Awareness Month! Here are some important facts to keep your furry friends healthy:
🔹 Diabetes in pets is more common than you think, affecting 1 in every 300 dogs and 1 in every 230 cats.
🔹 Symptoms to watch for: increased thirst, frequent urination, weight loss despite a good appetite, and lethargy.
🔹 Early detection is key! With proper management, including insulin therapy, a healthy diet, and regular vet visits, diabetic pets can lead happy lives.
🔹 Pets are more likely to develop diabetes if they’re overweight, older, or have a genetic predisposition.
If you notice any of these signs, schedule a check-up with your vet right away!
