💙🐾 November is Pet Diabetes Month! 🐾💙
Just like people, pets can develop diabetes — but with early detection and good management, diabetic pets can still live long, happy lives!
Let’s bust a few common myths 👇
❌ Myth #1: Only overweight pets get diabetes.
✅ While extra weight increases risk, any pet can develop diabetes — even fit ones.
❌ Myth #2: Diabetes only affects older pets.
✅ Most cases occur in middle-aged and senior pets, but younger animals can also be affected.
❌ Myth #3: Diabetes is a death sentence.
✅ Not true! With the right diet, insulin, and monitoring, diabetic pets can thrive for years.
❌ Myth #4: You can tell if your pet has diabetes just by looking.
✅ Symptoms like increased thirst, urination, appetite, and weight loss can be subtle — only blood and urine testing can confirm it.
