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.
Ciara is an integral part of the team here at Butternut and is on hand to answer any concerns you have regarding your pup's health.
