Is your pet showing any of these signs?
If your cat or dog has diabetes, monitoring blood glucose and ketone levels is essential to help prevent serious complications. Regular testing helps ensure your pet’s blood sugar stays within a safe range reducing the risk of both hypoglycaemia and hyperglycaemia. With routine testing, pet owners and veterinarians can make informed decisions about treatment, ensuring better health, comfort, and quality of life for your furry family members.
Oracle® for Cats and Dogs is the first blood glucose meter in Canada to test for ketones, making the detection of life-threatening diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) simple and convenient.
Testing your pet's blood glucose at home is simple once both you and your pet are comfortable with the process. Use Oracle® for the most accurate results.
Oracle for Cats and Dogs Blood Glucose and Ketone Meter
Keep a log of your pet’s readings to share with your veterinarian. Over time, this information helps fine-tune your pet's insulin therapy and diet for improved glucose control and a healthier, happier life.
When there isn't enough insulin available for cells to use glucose properly, blood glucose levels rise. Ketones are chemicals produced when the body breaks down fat for energy instead of glucose. If your dog or cat begins producing ketones, it may indicate a dangerous condition called diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) that requires immediate veterinary treatment.
Testing for ketones helps detect this early, so steps can be taken before it becomes life-threatening. Pets producing ketones must be seen by a veterinarian immediately — they usually require intravenous fluids and insulin.
| Ketone Level | Range (mmol/L) | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Normal | < 0.3 mmol/L | Safe |
| Early Ketosis | 0.3 – 1.0 mmol/L | Monitor |
| High Risk for DKA | > 1.5 – 3.0 mmol/L | Veterinary Emergency |
Important: If ketone levels exceed the recommended threshold, contact your veterinarian immediately. Do not wait for symptoms to develop or worsen.
Regular monitoring is essential for managing diabetes in cats and dogs. Frequency depends on your pet's treatment plan and how stable their glucose levels are.
Many pet owners check blood glucose once or twice a day, often before insulin injections or meals.
Your veterinarian may recommend glucose curves (testing every 1–2 hours over a day) to assess how well insulin is working.
Test more frequently if your pet seems unusually tired, is drinking or urinating more, or eats less than usual. Your veterinarian will recommend the most appropriate testing schedule for your individual pet.

Diabetes mellitus affects approximately 0.2%–1.0% of cats and dogs. Understanding risk factors, symptoms, and treatment options is the first step in protecting your pet.
Diabetes in Specific Breeds
Certain dog breeds—including Dachshunds, Poodles, and Schnauzers—may be at increased risk of developing diabetes.
Untreated, diabetes mellitus can progress to a rapidly life-threatening condition known as diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), which requires hospitalization and aggressive fluid therapy.
In Type 1 Diabetes, your dog or cat’s body is not able to produce insulin. Dogs with diabetes almost always have Type 1 diabetes.
In Type 2 Diabetes, your pet’s body needs much higher levels of insulin to work properly. This is known as insulin resistance. Overweight pets are more likely to have Type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is more common in cats.
Symptoms for Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes are often the same:
If you notice any of the above symptoms, please see your veterinarian to get your pet tested for diabetes.
Diabetes mellitus is treatable. The sooner it is diagnosed, the more comfortable both you and your pet will be. Treatment plans include:
Insulin injections tailored to your pet's type and glucose readings.
Oral medications may be appropriate in selected cases, particularly for some cats with Type 2 diabetes.
Consistent, balanced meals - high-fibre diets for dogs and low-carbohydrate, high-protein diets for cats.
Regular, moderate exercise improves insulin sensitivity and helps maintain a healthy weight.
