Sedentary Lifestyle Raises Diabetes Risk in Dogs

Sedentary Lifestyle Raises Diabetes Risk in Dogs

Dogs are getting diabetes just like people.

This is happening because they don't get enough exercise and eat too many unhealthy foods.

Dogs that live in apartments and eat things like rice and curd are more likely to get sick.

Two dog owners, John Pinto and Lakshman Garud, saw their dogs lose a lot of weight and have very high blood sugar.

Both dogs needed insulin and surgery for their eyes because of the diabetes.

The owners changed their dogs' diets to healthier foods, which helped control the diabetes.

It's important to keep dogs active and feed them the right food to keep them healthy.
