Living with Diabetic Cats & Dogs: Tips and Tricks for Pet Owners
Lifestyles of the Furry & Fabulous 4 min readIt can be an overwhelming experience to discover that your very own furkiddo has been diagnosed with diabetes, but you are not alone in this journey! NHV is here to provide you with some advice that may help you manage living with a diabetic pet. Our diabetic pet care tips may require some vigilance as routine is important when dealing with this condition, but they should help you feel more at ease and prepared to manage the different facets of this disease.
Diabetic Pet Care Tips for Daily Life
Consistency and structure are important when managing the health of a diabetic pet. As this condition revolves around glucose levels, it is important to develop stability around the factors which can influence blood sugar. We advise creating a schedule for feeding, medication, and exercise.
Consistency and structure are important when managing the health of a diabetic pet.
Veterinarians typically suggest feeding diabetic pets two meals a day, with twelve hours in between. Insulin should be administered after the pet has eaten, ideally an hour after a meal. The insulin dose is specifically based on the activity levels of a pet, so it would need to be appropriately adjusted if their energy requirements are changing every day. Consistent, moderate exercise on a daily basis can help your pet meet this goal.
Monitoring Blood Sugar Levels
Measuring a diabetic pet’s blood sugar is essential for managing their condition and ensuring that they receive the correct insulin dose. Glucose monitor device and test strips can collect and measure blood samples. Warming the area beforehand by rubbing it or using a warm cloth can improve blood flow, allowing for easier sample collection. While this process may be challenging at first, offering positive reinforcement during and after the blood draw can help your pet become more comfortable with this routine.
Although not yet FDA-approved, continuous glucose monitors are emerging as a safe and convenient option for pets, as they reduce the need for frequent blood draws.

Otherwise, lancing devices can be used to collect blood samples, with the best spots being the ear vein or accessory carpal pad (the pad found on the back of the front limb, where the wrist would be). Warming the area beforehand by rubbing it or using a warm cloth can improve blood flow, allowing for easier sample collection. While this process may be challenging at first, offering positive reinforcement during and after the blood draw can help your pet become more comfortable with this routine.
Recognizing Warning Signs of Blood Sugar Imbalance
As maintaining optimal blood sugar levels is crucial in diabetic pets to avoid an emergency, it is important to become familiar with warning signs of hyperglycemia as well as hypoglycemia. Both of these fluctuations in blood sugar may lead to abnormal behavior, including changes in thirst, urination, appetite, and activity levels. If a diabetic pet is exhibiting such changes, a glucose monitor can come in handy to establish whether there is an imbalance.
A blood sugar imbalance in a diabetic pet can become a medical emergency, so if a pet is exhibiting severe lethargy, vomiting, or losing consciousness, it is crucial to seek veterinary care.
Identifying Low & High Blood Sugar Episodes
In contrast, hypoglycemia, which involves low blood sugar levels, can lead to symptoms of lack of Hyperglycemia is when a pet’s blood sugar levels are too high, and hypoglycemia is when blood sugar levels are too low. The symptoms of hyperglycemia include increased thirst and urination, excessive hunger, and depression. Hyperglycemia can lead to a condition called diabetic ketoacidosis, where glucose levels are so high that they cause a shift in the acid/base balance of the body. This can lead to irregular heart rhythms and muscle function, and can become fatal if left untreated.
In contrast, hypoglycemia, which involves low blood sugar levels, can lead to symptoms of lack of appetite, lethargy, weakness, and vomiting. This may occur if the insulin dose is too high, and more severe signs of this condition can include seizures and coma.
Emergency Preparedness
Parents living with a diabetic pet may feel more comfortable knowing that they are prepared for an emergency. One important care tip that we have for diabetic pets is to develop an emergency plan with your veterinarian, so that you may learn what to expect if a diabetic emergency arises. Some items to have ready to go at any time include:
- Glucose supplements
- A carrier or other form of transportation for the pet
- A care plan
- Medical history
- Pet health insurance information
In the case of severe hypoglycemia, pet parents can rub a small amount of glucose solution or corn syrup onto their little one’s gums or under their tongue.
NHV Supplements for Diabetic Pets
Our Diabetes Super Support Gold kit comes with multiple supplements that may be beneficial additions to a care regimen for a diabetic pet. The star of the kit is Mellit which contains herbs that may help to regulate blood sugar levels, as well as balance the metabolism, and support the function of the pancreas which produces natural insulin.
To complement this supplement, we also suggest Milk Thistle for improving kidney and liver function, two organs which can become impaired due to high blood sugar in diabetic pets. Finally, Yucca is a great product for reducing discomfort as it may lower inflammation, thereby supporting a balanced appetite and digestive system.
Diabetic Pet Care Tips from Pet Experts
A diabetes diagnosis may seem overwhelming at first, but the best way to feel more confident about handling your pet’s condition is to create a schedule, familiarize yourself with the warning signs of blood sugar imbalance, and organize preparations in the case of an emergency.

What is Diabetes in Cats and Dogs?
Like us, our furriends need glucose, a type of sugar, to fuel their bodies. Diabetes happens when the body cannot correctly turn glucose in the blood into energy that can be used. Glucose is also stuck in furkiddos’ bloodstream and accumulates. This unusual blood chemistry eventually leads to poison in the system, causing further damage and health problems.
Symptoms of Diabetes in Dogs and Cats
You may be wondering if there is any way you can tell if your furkid has diabetes.
Here are some general symptoms you may want to look out for:
- Excessive thirst and urination
- A drop in weight but increased appetite
- Cloudy eyes
- Poor hair and coat condition
- Fatigue
Left untreated, the condition will escalate. So if you notice any of the above signs in your little one, you should take them to see a vet as soon as possible.
How NHV Remedies Support Diabetes in Dogs and Cats
Our Diabetes Super Support Gold Kit can support your little one in conjunction with traditional medicine.
Mellit is our fundamental support for diabetes in cats and dogs. As diabetes spikes up the blood sugar and blood pressure of your little one, herbs like Jambolan and Astragalus may help regulate them. The hypoglycemic (low blood sugar) activity in Devil’s club may also help balance the blood sugar. This herb also helps with balancing the metabolism of your little one.
Dandelion, on the other hand, is an anti-inflammatory tonic that may help protect the kidneys from the damage of diabetes. Diabetes can cause cataracts and urinary infections; blueberry helps prevent that. On top of that, the formulation may help with overall vitality.
Besides cataracts and urinary infections, diabetes can also lead to liver issues and kidney failure. Milk Thistle may improve liver and kidney function and support liver regeneration.
In addition, the formulation is well known for its use in treating liver disease because studies have shown its possible benefits in decreasing or reversing damage to the liver. This herb's main compound, Silymarin, may even help remove the toxins in the liver and other organs.
The last supplement included in this bundle is Yucca, which helps with discomfort management. The herbal extract is highly nutritious as it contains vitamin C, beta-carotene, B vitamins, magnesium, iron, calcium, manganese, protein, niacin, and phosphorus. It may also help reduce the inflammation caused by diabetes.

Herbal Remedy for Diabetes Mellitus in Cats
Diabetes in cats is a common pancreatic disorder that occurs when sugar builds up in the bloodstream instead of entering the tissue to provide energy. If left untreated, your cat can be prone to infections, a slower healing process, and even blindness. Diabetes can also lead to heart, liver or kidney disease.
Some cat breeds are more prone to diabetes, such as the Russian Blue. You can find out if your cat breed is more prone to contract diabetes at NHV breeds and conditions online.
If you have questions about any of our holistic supplements, you can ask an expert at NHV because we want to help your kitty live a longer healthier life naturally.
