November is Pet Diabetes Month! 🐾

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is an increasingly common endocrine disease of companion animals, and it is important to know the signs to look out for and the measures you can take to prevent it. Type I is more common in dogs and is when the body doesn't produce enough of the hormone insulin to regulate blood glucose levels adequately. Type II is also known as insulin-resistant diabetes and is more common in cats. 💉

Caninsulin and International Cat Care have some useful resources if you have a newly diagnosed pet with DM. if your pet is showing any of the signs mentioned above - increased urination, excessive thirst and/or weight loss - get in touch with your vet 💜

Bonfire night is just round the corner and this can be a very stressful time for your pets🐈‍⬛ here's some tips on how to reduce your pets' stress and keep them safe during firework season:
🎆Keep them inside during fireworks to keep them safe and reduce stress
🎆Consider calming supplements such as Nutracalm on the run up to Guy Fawkes night
🎆Walk your dog early in the day before fireworks start - your dog may get spooked and bolt if they hear a firework while out and about
🎆Make sure your pet is microchipped and your contact information is up to date
🎆Create a safe space for your pet in a quiet area of the house away from windows and put on music and/or the TV to help mask the noise of fireworks
🎆Try not to leave your pet in the house alone when there's likely to be fireworks
🎆Consult your vet for advice if your pet gets really stressed about fireworks
🎆If you're thinking of setting off fireworks in your garden then maybe reconsider, there's plenty of public fireworks shows and the less fireworks the better for our furry friends! Remember: fireworks can stress out wild animals too and put them in danger 🦊🦡🦉
