High

Glucose is present in your dog's urine — strongly suggests diabetes mellitus.

Glucose spills into urine when blood sugar exceeds the kidney threshold (around 180-220 mg/dL in dogs). The most common cause is diabetes mellitus. Stress, pancreatitis, and certain drugs can also cause transient glucosuria.

What to do:

Your vet will check blood glucose and fructosamine levels immediately. If diabetes is confirmed, insulin therapy and dietary management will be started. Watch for increased thirst, urination, and appetite with weight loss.
