🐾🩺 Can Dogs Get Diabetes? Causes, Early Signs & Prevention – The Srirangavn View

Just like humans, dogs too can develop diabetes — especially as they age, put on weight, or are exposed to poor-quality diets and stress.

At Srirangavn, we approach this condition with care, prevention, and a blend of science and traditional wisdom.

🍬 What Is Diabetes in Dogs?

Diabetes in dogs typically refers to Diabetes Mellitus, where the body can’t properly produce or use insulin. This leads to elevated blood sugar levels, which can damage organs over time if left unmanaged.

🚨 Early Signs to Watch Out For:

Excessive thirst & urination

Sudden weight loss despite eating

Increased hunger

Lethargy

Cloudy eyes or vision issues

Sweet-smelling breath

Urinary tract infections

If you notice 2–3 of these consistently, see your vet immediately.

🧠 Top Causes of Diabetes in Dogs:

Obesity – One of the biggest contributors

Poor diet – Processed foods, sugars, human snacks

Age & genetics – Older and certain breeds (Poodles, Dachshunds, Beagles) are more at risk

Hormonal issues – Like Cushing’s disease

Chronic inflammation – From gut imbalance or low immunity

Sedentary lifestyle

Emotional stress – Often overlooked but impactful
