Understanding Diabetes

A diabetes diagnosis can feel overwhelming, but with the right care, most diabetic pets go on to live full, happy lives. Diabetes occurs when your pet's body doesn't produce enough insulin, or doesn't use it effectively, leading to elevated blood sugar levels. At Rose Veterinary, we help diagnose diabetes in dogs and cats and guide you through day-to-day management.

What to Expect During Diabetes Management

After confirming a diagnosis with blood and urine testing, we'll teach you how to safely administer insulin, recognize signs of low or high blood sugar, and adjust your pet's diet to support stable glucose levels. We'll also schedule regular rechecks to fine-tune their treatment over time.
