Diabetes in dogs can occur at any age (from 18 months on); however, it mostly occurs in middle-aged (aged 5 and over) to senior dogs. Diabetes is more common in overweight or obese dogs.

Canine diabetes is severe, life-threatening, and has no cure.

If canine diabetes is diagnosed early and treated appropriately, you can extend your dog’s life.
