Royal Canin Diabetic Adult Dry Dog Food
Product details
Royal Canin Canine Diabetic DS37 is a complete food for dogs with diabetes. Designed to regulate your dog’s sugar intake, it mitigates their symptoms and helps them live a normal and healthy life.
How it works
This food uses a process called glucomodulation to manage the level of sugar in your dog’s bloodstream. Glucomodulation is the mixture of ingredients with a low glycaemic index (GI), meaning they can be digested slowly by your dog. This releases the energy and sugars slowly, reducing the risk of hypoglycaemia, a condition that results from excessive sugar in the bloodstream. As your dog will have a weakened ability to digest food, glucomodulation is a great way to reduce pressure on their digestive system.
The food has been specially formulated to be gentle on your dog’s digestive system. It is low in starch, which can be difficult to digest for diabetic dogs and can cause blood glucose levels to rise.
Royal Canin Canine Diabetic DS37 uses a high protein recipe to help maintain muscle mass. This is particularly important for dogs who put on weight as a result of diabetes. It also has a specially formulated antioxidant complex that works to neutralise the harmful effects of free radicals, which damage your dog’s cells and can cause cancer.
Key benefits
- glucomodulation formula helps to keep blood sugars low
- easy to digest
- low starch formula to reduce blood glucose levels
- high in protein to maintain muscle mass
- antioxidant complex neutralises the harmful effects of free radicals.
When to use it
Diabetes is a commonly diagnosed condition in dogs. Untreated, diabetes can lead to serious health problems because it makes it difficult for your dog to process food properly. However, after diagnosis, diabetes can be easily managed with the right care. If you suspect that your dog may be diabetic, it is best to contact your vet for a thorough examination. Royal Canin Canine Diabetic DS37 should be transitioned to become your dog’s regular feed as soon as possible after diagnosis.
Because veterinary diets are formulated for the nutritional support of pets with specific clinical conditions, we recommend that you only use them under professional advice. For more information on feeding Royal Canin Canine Diabetic DS37 to your dog, please consult your veterinary surgeon.
