Pet Diabetes is on the Rise: 32/16 Percent in Dogs/Cats
Posted 10/10/2011 by Pet Deals
Jumping 32 percent in dogs, and 16 percent for cats, pet diabetes has increased substantially over the last five years — just as it has in humans. (Source: Banfield Pet Hospital, a nationwide chain.) Linked to obesity just as it is for humans, pet diabetes symptoms are the same for both species and also includes excessive thirst and urination. Cats suffer more from obesity when related to diabetes as they tend to be less active.
Today, more and more people are adopting pets of all ages. Should you believe one of your pets could be diabetic and if you do not have a specific veterinarian in place for your pet, look for a local Vet online via SF pet services, and take them in for an exam. Diabetes is treatable in many cases.
Watch the treats, do not serve leftovers top your pet, and review your pet’s food consumption. Look for pet coupons for healthy foods that your Vet recommends, and monitor your pet’s water intake carefully.
