 Dog
nutrition plays a key role in treating the diabetic dog. In pets, as in
people, diabetes is a deficiency of the pancreatic hormone called insulin.
Insulin works by transporting sugar out of the blood and into cells where
it is used as energy. When the body fails to produce enough insulin, sugar,
in the form of glucose, accumulates in the blood. When it reaches a certain
level, it passes into urine. Since the chemical properties of sugar attract
water, a diabetic dog begins to drink water and urinate excessively. These
are often the first signs of diabetes visible to the pet owner.
Other
diabetic symptoms include listlessness, vomiting and poor hair coat. Increased
or decreased appetite along with weight loss are also common symptoms in
diabetic pets. OLD
DOG COOKIE COMPANY'S Diabetic Cookies contain ingredients known
to reduce blood sugar. Fiber and herbs combine to help slow the rate of
food metabolism, allowing your dog to manage its insulin requirements better.
The brewers yeast in these cookies aids in using blood glucose more effectively.
The garlic helps stimulate digestive function. Each ingredient was selected
for its nutritive and health benefits. Remember that diabetic pets need
regular veterinary care. Consistent exercise and optimum weight maintenance
also decrease your pets insulin needs. You will find approximately 30 cookies
in each package.
Thanks so much Jef!

Some
of these symptoms are common to other diseases. Your veterinarian can determine
whether diabetes is the underlying reason for your pet's symptoms. Sometimes
it's only when illness strikes, that we learn about proper dog nutrition.
Providing a healthy diet is the first step in improving you pet's natural
defenses and providing a strong foundation for good health. No amount of
drugs can correct the underlying problem of poor nutrition. With the older
pet, nutrition becomes even more critical. Increasingly, researchers, veterinarians
and pet owners are looking to and finding help through nutrition.
