As a pet nutritionist, I’ve spent years studying the dietary needs of pets and debunking common misconceptions about what they should eat. Pet nutrition is a topic filled with myths, often fueled by well-meaning but misinformed advice. These myths can lead to poor dietary choices, which can affect your pet’s health, energy levels, and overall well-being.
Diabetes is a chronic condition that affects both dogs and cats, just as it does humans. It occurs when the body cannot produce enough insulin or effectively use the insulin it produces, leading to high blood sugar levels. If left untreated, diabetes can cause severe health complications in pets, including organ damage and even death. However, with proper management, pets with diabetes can lead happy and healthy lives.
