WHAT IS PET DIABETES?

Pets with diabetes cannot produce or utilize insulin properly, preventing the conversion of food to energy.

WHAT HAPPENS
WITHOUT INSULIN?

Without the conversion to energy, extra sugar left in the blood leads to lethargy and other health problems.

It is estimated that 1 in 300 adult dogs and 1 in 230 cats in the US have diabetes.1,2

HOW CAN PET
DIABETES BE FIXED?

Diabetes cannot be cured, but with proper treatment and monitoring your pet can live a long, happy life.
