Diabetes mellitus, or diabetes, is a common, treatable condition in both people and certain pets that occurs when the body can’t use glucose (a type of sugar) normally.
 

Diabetes in dogs and cats may occur at any age. However, diabetic dogs are usually 4 to 14 years old, and most are diagnosed at roughly 7 to 10 years old. Most diabetic cats are older than 6 years. Diabetes occurs in female dogs twice as often as male dogs, and certain breeds of dogs and cats may be predisposed to the condition.
 

Noticing the signs of diabetes is the most important step in taking care of your pet. Immediately take your pet to the veterinarian if you see any of the following:

  • Excessive drinking and increased urination

  • Weight loss, with or without an increased appetite 

  • Decreased appetite 

  • Cloudy eyes (due to cataracts, especially in dogs)

  • Chronic or recurring infections (including skin and urinary tract infections
