Putting Your Dog On A Diabetic Dog Food Diet
Like humans, dogs too get diabetes. When a dog has diabetes, the best way to keep it in control is by giving it diabetic dog food, which is low in sugar and carbohydrates. Apart from controlling the amount of sugar in a diabetic dog's food, the amount of food and the frequency in which they are fed also needs to be monitored. The general recommendation is that your diabetic dog should be fed smaller meals twice or thrice a day instead of a single large meal. This is because blood sugar levels can be stabilized by smaller meals, whereas a single large meal results in a high insulin spike, and then for it to drop down in 12 hours. When blood sugar plummets too low, it results in hypoglycemia, which is a series condition. So what diabetic dog food should you give your dog? Here are a few recommendations that will assist in controlling the diabetic condition of your dog: Shun Foods That Have SugarMost dog owners have very little idea about the amounts of carbohydrates and sugar contained in commercial dog food.

It is important to check the ingredients, which are printed on the label.... http://groups.google.com/group/dogfoodmave |
