FAQs
What is diabetic dog food?
Diabetic dog food is specifically formulated to help regulate blood sugar levels in dogs diagnosed with diabetes. These foods typically feature high fibre, carefully chosen carbohydrates, moderate protein, and low-fat content to maintain stable glucose levels throughout the day.
Specially designed food for diabetic dogs helps manage their condition while keeping mealtimes enjoyable.
Can diabetic dog food help manage my dog’s diabetes?
Yes, feeding a diabetic-specific diet plays an essential role in managing diabetes. Diabetic dog food helps minimise blood sugar spikes and provides steady energy, supporting overall health when used alongside your vet’s recommended treatment plan.
Why choose dog food without sugar for diabetic dogs?
Sugar can lead to rapid increases in blood glucose levels, making diabetes harder to control. Dog food without sugar uses slow-releasing carbohydrates, high fibre and balanced nutrients, which reduces the risk of sudden spikes in blood glucose.
Is diabetic dog food suitable for all dogs?
