Ideal diet for dogs with diabetes: Guide and tips

Diabetes in dogs is a chronic disease that requires strict control, and nutrition plays a fundamental role in its management. A proper diet can help stabilize blood glucose levels, improve your pet's quality of life, and prevent complications. In this article, we'll explain the ideal diet for a dog with diabetes and which Dibaq Petcare options may be most appropriate.

What does a dog with diabetes need in its diet?

The main goal of a diabetic dog diet is to maintain stable glucose levels and prevent blood sugar spikes. To achieve this, it's important to consider the following aspects:

• Low glycemic index: Carbohydrates should be absorbed slowly to avoid sudden increases in glucose.
• High in fiber: Fiber helps slow the absorption of sugars and improves digestive health.
• Quality proteins: A good source of protein helps maintain muscle mass without overloading the metabolism.
• Healthy fats: Fats should be moderate and of high quality to avoid weight problems and promote good energy.

Recommended foods for dogs with diabetes

Dibaq Petcare offers complete and balanced food options that can help dogs with diabetes live healthier lives. Some of the most recommended ranges are:

- Dibaq Sense Grain Free: This grain-free range is ideal for dogs with specific nutritional needs. It contains high-quality proteins, natural ingredients, and low-glycemic carbohydrates like potatoes and peas, which help maintain stable glucose levels.

- Dibaq Natural Moments : With natural ingredients and an excellent combination of protein and fiber, this range helps maintain healthy digestion and provides essential nutrients for dogs with special needs.

- Dican Up Low Caloric or Senior: Although it is designed for older dogs and those prone to being overweight, its low fat and carbohydrate content makes it a balanced option for dogs with diabetes that need to maintain a healthy weight.

Tips for feeding a dog with diabetes

1. Spread out your meals: It is advisable to divide your daily meal into two or three servings to avoid glucose spikes.

2. Avoid sugars and refined carbohydrates: Don't give your dog foods like bread, white rice, or sugary treats. Discover Dibaq Sense Functional Snacks, for example, and you'll have a wide variety of healthy, high-quality treats for your furry friends.

3. Control weight: Obesity can complicate diabetes, so it's important to keep your pet at its ideal weight.

4. Constant hydration : Diabetic dogs may have an increased need for water, so make sure they always have access to it.

5. Consult your veterinarian: Every dog is unique, and it is essential that your veterinarian supervise your dog's diet and treatment.
