Details
Because diabetic dogs cannot regulate blood sugar levels, they require special foods catered to their needs. Hill's Prescription Diet Dog w/d is the science-backed way to manage your dog’s diabetes and help them live their best life.
Firstly, Hill's Prescription Diet Dog w/d is low in sugars. This is important for diabetic dogs because a low-sugar diet will help to prevent blood sugar spikes and avoid serious complications.
Secondly, this prescription food has an optimal blend of soluble and insoluble fibers. Just like in humans, fibers have an important role in managing diabetes. In fact, they help to slow down the absorption and digestion of carbohydrates, which can benefit blood sugar regulation for diabetic dogs. They also promote healthy digestion and satiety, which can prevent overeating and weight gain.
Thirdly, Hill's Prescription Diet Dog w/d contains high-quality protein, which provides the necessary building blocks for musculature repair. This is important because diabetes can cause musculature loss over time. It also features L-carnitine, an amino acid that promotes fat-to-energy conversion. Since diabetes can make your furry friend less active, increasing energy use efficiency is helpful.
Lastly, Hill's Prescription Diet Dog w/d has an appropriate amount of fat and calories. Therefore, it prevents the development of obesity, which can further worsen diabetes, while keeping your dog's metabolism and energy levels in balance. It also features Hill’s S+OXSHIELD seal of approval, which means it reduces the risk of developing struvite & calcium oxalate crystals.
