Royal Canin Diabetic dry cat food is specifically tailored with the needs of diabetic adult cats in mind. This formula is developed with reduced levels of starch, from sources with a low glycaemic index — food with a low glycaemic index causes a slower rise in blood sugar, helping to manage postprandial blood glucose in diabetic cats. Thanks to its high level of protein, this diet also helps to maintain your cat's muscle mass, which is essential for diabetic cats. Helping your cat to manage a healthy body weight supports a better response to diabetic treatment, as overweight cats tend to be less sensitive to insulin's effects. Suitable for Diabetes Mellitus with a Body Condition Score of 6 or below, and for Diabetes Mellitus with a Body Condition Score of 7 or higher until glycaemic control has been achieved. Available in a 1.5 kg bag. Can be complemented with Royal Canin Diabetic Thin Slices in Gravy. For use under veterinary supervision only.
