Product description

A complete dietetic dry food for adult cats with diabetes mellitus. This food has a low level of rapid glucose-releasing carbohydrates and is especially formulated to regulate the glucose supply.
Many cats with diabetes often suffer from loss of appetite; however a consistent diet with a regulated glucose supply is very important if the illness is to be managed successfully.
Royal Canin Veterinary Diet - Diabetic DS 46 is a delicious, complete food, formulated to regulate the glucose supply as well as encouraging your cat to eat.
It has a low starch content which stabilises blood sugar and reduces insulin production
This helps to prevent sugar spikes after meals. The high protein content helps to maintain muscle mass in overweight cats.

Vet Food Disclaimer

Indications:

Diabetes mellitus

Note: Insulin sensitivity may improve while your cat is on this diet. Blood sugar levels should be closely monitored and the insulin dose adjusted as necessary.

Contraindications:

Pregnancy or lactation, kittens

Key benefits:

Gluco modulation: Special formula to help manage the level of blood sugar after eating in diabetic cats.
High protein: High protein content. It is essential to maintenance a healthy muscle mass in overweight diabetic cats.
Low starch: This food contains a reduced level of starch.
Moderate calories: Moderate calorie content to help combat weight gain.

Changing your pet's diet and length of treatment:

It is advisable to keep your cat on this diet for the rest of its life. Diabetes mellitus in cats cannot usually be cured; however, successful stabilisation can be achieved for many pets with a combination of insulin therapy, dietary management and exercise.

Therapeutic veterinary diets are carefully formulated and recommended to be used in conjunction with veterinary advice and support. Royal Canin strongly recommend you seek advice from your Vet prior to and during feeding of any of these products to your pet.

Our diabetic cat enjoys eating this food, but so do our other cats when they can seize the opportunity! A very popular product! We also appreciated the speed and efficiency of the delivery!

My little Charlemagne loves this diabetic food. It is so good to find something which he likes. He therefore only eat this food and some fish on special occasions.

i have a diabetic cat who is a fussy eater, he has to have this product for life. I have found the service brilliant. Always prompt so no waiting around. I would not hesitate to recommend not only this product, but this site too.

and at the best price we've found online!

Unfortunately my cat's diabetes is irreversible and I have to give him two insulin injections per day. Between the cost of insulin and that of kibble I spend a considerable amount, but when I found zooplus I started saving a bit of money, and with the regular deliveries my cat's diabetes is under control!

I've been buying this product for almost a year, it's easy to buy online and it arrives in a few days. The food quality and size of 3.5kg is really convenient, and since diabetes is a lifelong illness it's handy to order lots of bags and always have some at home.

I was planning to give 5 stars but I've just found that the price has gone up slightly so I'm dropping a star for that. However, for people who unfortunately have a diabetic cat this is a handy size and it's hard to find in stores, so zooplus is useful with its quick delivery.

For my diabetic cat this has been a real life changer, thank you zooplus!

21/02/14 |originally published in zooplus.it

A big thankyou to zooplus, everything arrived on time and customer service was great. The product is fantastic, and even my non-diabetic cat loves it. The current price is also good, keep it up! I will always be a zooplus customer as long as I have pets.

Keeps my Lilu's diabetes at bay

All of my cats have enjoyed this food, even then healthy ones! My diabetic cat has definitely improved!

I ordered this food for my grandma's cat, and when I saw the price I really couldn't believe it - it's far cheaper than the shops or the vet's! This site is really very affordable!

I had been feeding my 15yr old female with the 12+ until this came out. She's a bit of a grazer throughout the day and as she's getting older some times it seams she just can't be bothered to each much. This tends to play havoc with her blood glucose levels and I find controlling her can be a little difficult. However I have noticed a big difference on the diabetes food, things are much more stable now. Definately keep a close monitor on levels when you start this as I have had to adjust her injection a couple of times over a 3 week period, she is needing less insulin now and her glucose levels are very stable.
