Diabetic

ROYAL CANIN® Veterinary Health Nutrition Since 1968, Royal Canin has been following the belief that nutrition plays a key role in supporting the health and wellbeing of cats and dogs. This is why we have designed ROYAL CANIN® veterinary diets around proven nutritional science in partnership with pet professionals and experts, delivering nutrition for pets with specific health needs. Diabetes mellitus occurs when insulin is not being produced by the body or the body is no longer responding to the insulin as it should. This condition can develop in cats as a possible result of a number of factors, including excess weight and obesity. ROYAL CANIN® Diabetic dry cat food is specifically tailored with the needs of diabetic adult cats in mind. This dry cat food for diabetic cats is suitable 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 o This formula is developed with reduced levels of starch, from sources with a low glycaemic index. Food with a low glycaemic index cause a slower rise in blood sugar than foods with a high glycaemic index. This ultimately supports your cat by helping to manage postprandial blood glucose (the sugar in your cat's blood after eating) in diabetic cats. • High Protein o Thanks to ROYAL CANIN® Diabetic's high level of protein, this diet helps to maintain your cat's muscle mass, which is essential for diabetic cats. Helping your cat to manage a healthy body weight supports a better response to diabetic treatment, as overweight cats tend to be less sensitive to insulin's effects. As part of the ROYAL CANIN® Veterinary Health Nutrition range, it is important that this diet is only given to your pet when recommended by a veterinary professional. To cater to each cat's individual preferences, ROYAL CANIN® Diabetic dry cat food can be complemented with Royal Canin Diabetic Thin Slices in Gravy. Transitioning your pet from one diet to another should be a smooth and gradual process over a 7–10-day period. Please ensure you follow the correct rationing amount, especially when mixed feeding. Please note: ROYAL CANIN® Diabetic cat food is not suitable for growth or gestation/lactation.
