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 - 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.
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.
Still has quite high carbs and didn’t satisfy. low meat protein, high starch!
I ate this for less than a month, thankfully. Wasn’t very tasty except for dust on outside. Only ate it coz I felt starving. Had to eat double quantity than packet said to even feel ok. Shocked to realise it still has quite high carbs. 18.8% starch… for a diabetic… are you kidding? Barley as second ingredient… uh, I am a cat. Really expensive and ‘empty’ food. I’d rather go dumpster- diving. In fact, I did. Several times after this sawdust left me hungry. Yuck

DIABETIC
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!

Good
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.

Great
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.

Super convenient!
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!

Went down well
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.
