Diabetes Management for Dogs & Cats | Snoots Vet London
Diabetes Management
With regular monitoring and consistent care, diabetic pets can live happy, comfortable lives. We'll support you every step of the way.
What is Diabetes?
Diabetes mellitus occurs when the body can't produce enough insulin or can't use it properly. This causes blood sugar levels to rise, leading to a range of symptoms if left untreated.
The good news is that diabetes is a manageable condition. With the right treatment — usually insulin injections and dietary changes — most pets do very well. Regular monitoring ensures we catch any changes early and keep your pet feeling their best.
Signs & Symptoms
If your pet is showing any of these signs, it's worth having them checked:
- Increased thirst
- Frequent urination
- Weight loss despite eating well
- Lethargy or low energy
- Cloudy eyes (dogs)
- Changes in appetite
Testing & Diagnosis
Diagnosing diabetes involves blood and urine tests to check glucose levels. Once diagnosed, ongoing monitoring is essential to ensure treatment is working effectively.
Included with Snoots
- Blood glucose testing
- Glucose curves (multiple readings over a day)
- Fructosamine testing (longer-term control)
- Urine testing
Treatment & Ongoing Care
Most diabetic pets need daily insulin injections. We'll teach you how to give these at home — it's easier than you might think, and most pets tolerate it very well.
Dietary management also plays an important role. We'll recommend a feeding routine and diet that helps keep blood sugar stable.
Regular check-ups allow us to adjust treatment as needed. With Snoots, you can come in as often as necessary — there's no extra charge for monitoring visits or routine blood tests.
