Supporting Your Pet Every Step of the Way
Discovering your pet has diabetes can feel daunting, but with the right approach, your furry friend can continue to enjoy a happy and healthy life. Treatment typically involves daily insulin injections and making some changes to your pet’s diet and lifestyle—don’t worry, our supportive nurse clinics are here to help you every step of the way.
Insulin Treatment: What to Expect
Most diabetic pets require daily insulin injections to help regulate their blood sugar levels. While the thought of giving injections at home might seem intimidating at first, our experienced nursing team will guide you through the process. We offer hands-on demonstrations and plenty of reassurance, ensuring you feel confident in administering insulin safely and gently. With practice, these injections will soon become a routine part of caring for your pet.
Nutrition and Diet
Diet plays a crucial role in managing diabetes. Your pet will benefit from a consistent feeding routine, balanced meals, and foods designed to help keep their blood sugar stable. Our nurse clinics provide tailored nutritional advice, helping you choose the best diet for your pet’s lifestyle and tastes. We’ll explain which types of food to look out for, how much to feed, and how regular mealtimes can support insulin therapy.
