Canine juvenile‐onset insulin‐dependent diabetes mellitus is a rare disease. While pancreatic acinar atrophy is a well known picture in the dog, the simultaneous occurrence with an endocrine insufficiency has never been clearly established. The clinical, pathological and immunohistochemical findings of a three‐month‐old German shepherd dog with insulin‐dependent diabetes mellitus concurrent with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency are described.
