Dealing with Diabetes

Sadly, dogs can suffer a number of the same health problems that people do. One of the most common and serious is diabetes. Alongside insulin, a stable diet and regular mealtimes are important in controlling a diabetic dog’s blood sugar (glucose). Fiber is a key ingredient in managing diabetes. Our fibre comes from gently cooked lentils, sweet potatoes and seeds, not grains. These fall into the complex carbohydrate category and have a low glycaemic index, meaning they cause the lowest level of spikes in blood sugar.

Portioned to your pup

Dogs who are currently eating a diet that is high in processed carbohydrates may experience more fluctuations in their blood sugar levels. That's why we deliver a box of delicious, pre-portioned meals to suit your pup's calorie needs.

We can’t stress enough that your vet’s advice is vital when caring for your diabetic dog. Always consult them when making changes to your diabetic dog’s diet or lifestyle.

Our meals

Butternutters tell us that their pups have healthier skin, higher energy levels and their stools improve on our food. The quality of our ingredients may have something to do with that.

"Like two angels coming from nowhere, they came and said ‘we can do the cooking for you’. I would be lost without having that delivery every week because it just makes my life so much easier.”
