Royal Canin Veterinary - Diabetic DS37 is a complete food specifically formulated for dogs over 1 year old suffering from diabetes. Diabetes is a common problem in dogs that must be treated urgently when the first symptoms appear: thirstiness, increased appetite while losing weight and frequent urination. Diabetic dogs can be effectively managed with a combination of insulin therapy and Royal Canin Veterinary - Diabetic DS37. The unique composition of this special diet makes it easier to control blood sugar. By reducing starch content, it helps with weight loss while the high protein level maintains muscle mass during periods of caloric restriction. Diabetes mellitus promotes oxidative stress, which can lead to chronic complications. A synergistic antioxidant complex—vitamin C, vitamin E, lutein and taurine—helps neutralise free radicals and protect cells from damage. Recommended for (indications):

• Diabetes mellitus

Not recommended for (contraindications):

• Pregnant and lactating bitches
• Puppies

WARNING: Feeding this food generally improves the dog’s insulin sensitivity. When initiating this diet, it is highly recommended to monitor blood glucose so that insulin dosage can be adjusted.

Key Benefits:

• Glucomodulation: specific formula to help manage post‑prandial blood glucose in diabetic dogs
• High protein: preserves muscle mass essential for overweight diabetic dogs
• Low starch: reduced starch level supports stable glycaemic control
• Antioxidant complex: synergistic blend of antioxidants to neutralise free radicals

Duration of treatment: Royal Canin Veterinary - Diabetic DS37 should be fed for the pet's lifetime.
