In this first of a two-part series on diabetes in companion animals, Dr. Karen Becker explains how the condition makes pets sick and the symptoms you should look for in your own dog or cat.

One in every 500 dogs and one in 200 cats develops diabetes. Certain breeds are predisposed to the condition, for example Samoyeds, Australian Terriers, Schnauzers, Toy Poodles and Burmese cats.
