Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Canine Diabetic Dry

Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Canine Diabetic Dry (DS 37) is a complete dietetic feed for dogs formulated to regulate glucose supply (Diabetes Mellitus). This feed contains a low level of rapid glucose releasing carbohydrates.

Diabetes is a relatively common condition among canines and occurs when the pancreas fails to produce any or enough insulin or the body stops reacting to the insulin that is produced. One of the factors which can increase the risk of diabetes is being overweight or obese. 

ROYAL CANIN® Diabetic dry dog food is exclusively formulated with the nutritional needs of diabetic adult dogs like yours in mind. This diet is suitable for dogs in cases of:

• Diabetes Mellitus and a Body Condition Score of 6 out of 9 or below
• Diabetes Mellitus and a Body Condition score of 7 out of 9 of higher, until glycaemic control has been achieved

Key benefits:

• Glucomodulation: This formula is specially tailored to have a low glycaemic index and reduced levels of starch. Diets with a lower glycaemic index will result in a slower rise in blood glucose after eating. Glucomodulation is a key part of the nutritional support of dogs with diabetes.
• High Protein: To help your dog maintain a healthy body weight and muscle mass, ROYAL CANIN® Canine Diabetic contains a high level of protein and a moderate calorie content. Maintain ideal bodyweight is important to support in the long term management of diabetes.
