Feline diabetes is becoming increasingly common, affecting an estimated 1 in every 200 cats—and possibly more, depending on diet, age, and weight. For thousands of cat parents, managing this condition can feel overwhelming. Missed insulin doses, inconsistent feeding times, and small changes in weight or behavior can have major consequences for diabetic cats.
That’s exactly why the Fido’s Bark app was created.
Originally designed as an all-in-one pet health tracker, Fido’s Bark has quickly become a go-to tool for cat parents who need an easy way to monitor their diabetic cat’s health—from blood glucose trends to weight changes, appointments, medications, and daily observations. And best of all, it’s 100% free.
In this article, we’ll break down what feline diabetes is, why monitoring matters, and how the Fido’s Bark app can support cat parents every step of the way.
Understanding Feline Diabetes
Feline diabetes occurs when a cat’s body either doesn’t produce enough insulin or doesn’t respond to it properly. Without insulin, the body can't regulate blood sugar, which leads to symptoms such as:
Excessive thirst and urination
Sudden weight loss
Increased appetite
Lethargy
Vomiting
Weakness in the hind legs (neuropathy)
Early detection and consistent monitoring are the keys to helping a diabetic cat live a long, healthy life.
Why Tracking Matters for Diabetic Cats
Managing feline diabetes requires consistent routines and accurate information. Yet many cat parents struggle because:
Glucose readings fluctuate day-to-day
Small changes in weight can indicate big changes in health
Missed doses or double doses can be dangerous
Multiple caregivers may not always communicate perfectly
Vet appointments and insulin schedules pile up quickly
The right tracking tool helps cat parents avoid dangerous mistakes and spot trends early—before they become emergencies.
How Fido’s Bark Helps You Manage Feline Diabetes
Fido’s Bark was built to make pet health simple. For cat parents managing diabetes, the app includes several features that make daily care dramatically easier.
1. Track Weight Trends Over Time
Weight loss is often one of the first signs of poorly controlled diabetes. The app lets you log:
Daily weight
Monthly weight
Progress charts
Notes about appetite or behavior
This gives cat parents a clear visual picture of how their cat is doing—and helps veterinarians adjust treatment plans more accurately.
2. Log Glucose Readings
Whether you use a glucometer or continuous glucose monitor, Fido’s Bark allows you to enter:
Blood sugar values
Times of day
Context (before meal, after meal, etc.)
Notes like stress, activity changes, or insulin reactions
You can see patterns instantly, helping you avoid hypo- or hyperglycemia.
3. Manage Insulin and Medication Schedules
The medication tracker helps you:
Schedule insulin doses
Add reminders
Log treatments
Prevent double dosing (especially if multiple family members share care)
This is one of the most requested features by pet parents who juggle complicated routines.
4. Track Meal Times and Food Intake
Feeding windows matter. Insulin timings matter. With Fido’s Bark, you can record:
Feeding times
Food type
Portion size
Notes about appetite
This helps maintain stability—something diabetic cats desperately need.
5. Centralized Care for Multi-Caregiver Homes
Many diabetic cats receive care from more than one person. Fido’s Bark solves communication problems by allowing everyone involved to see:
What was given
What was missed
What’s due next
How the cat is trending
This dramatically reduces the risk of dangerous dosing mistakes.
6. Appointment & Vet History Tracking
Log your:
Vet visits
Diagnostic tests
Lab results
Recommendations
Next appointment dates
No more scrambling through emails or sticky notes to find essential medical information.
7. Photo-Based Progress Tracking
Seeing visible changes can help you and your vet understand your cat’s improvement or decline. The app lets you save images and compare them over time.
