Diabetes is a disease that affects many animals. Both cats and dogs can develop it, and it can be a very serious problem for both. At Ten West Bird and Animal Hospital, it is our goal to keep our pet patients as healthy as possible. While sometimes diabetes in animals happens despite prevention measures, being a proactive pet owner can go a long way to avoiding it in many cases.

You do lots of things for your beloved pet. You may spend hours playing fetch, splurging on a grooming session for them rather than getting your hair done, or pouring over research about the best food to feed. Ten West Bird & Animal Hospital has an extra care tip for you: bringing your pet in for their wellness check may be the most important thing that you can do for them. 

It’s easy to assume that young animals, in all their purity and innocence, are perfectly healthy. The reality is that their immune systems are in development, so they are incredibly vulnerable to many different kinds of diseases. Setting up a puppy or kitten for lifelong health starts when you bring them home. The puppy and kitten wellness exams at Ten West Bird & Animal Hospital help owners provide all the necessary health components needed throughout an animal’s life.
