can dogs get diabetes

I have a date palm tree in my backyard, and my dogs have been eating a LOT of dates that fall off the tree. My lab has started drinking about a gallon of water a day, and urinating more frequently. Those are some of the symptoms for humans with type ll diabetes.

Yes, dogs do get diabetes and they need to be on medication just as people do.

We had a Lab that had diabetes, we took care of him with 2 shots a day, he became blind, but so lovable, he got really sick at age 10 and we had to let him go. Saddest day of our lives.
