Prevention is about peace of mind – the kind that comes from knowing that you are proactively monitoring the health and wellness of the pets you love. Banfield would love to partner with you in the ongoing care of your pet.
Optimum Wellness Plans® are yearly packages of discounted services that make proactive pet health care easy and affordable.
When it comes to your pet's health, there's no such thing as a dumb question. Search questions real clients have submitted to our popular Ask a Vet Q&A series, and then submit a question of your own.
I recommend that you make a follow-up appointment with the veterinarian who diagnosed your pet with diabetes. Without examining your pet and his labwork I can’t give an opinion on whether he will need insulin or not. If he has responded well to weight loss, he may not need insulin. If his blood sugar is high, he may need to start on insulin. Many dogs do eventually need insulin so it is important to keep an eye on his blood sugar over time.
