Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diets DM St/Ox Diabetes Management Adult Cat Food - Chicken
Product details
PURINA Proplan Veterinary Diets Feline DM St/Ox Diabetes Management provides all the nutrition your diabetic cat needs for a healthy life.
What it's for
Diabetes affects cats in the same way it affects humans, and once it's been spotted is fairly easy to treat. This means your cat can enjoy a happy, active life just like any other moggy, and this food has been specially designed to give your diabetic puss all the goodness they need.
It's important to spot diabetes early. If your cat is losing weight, or eating and drinking a lot more than normal, as well as being generally lazy, then these could be symptoms of diabetes. Make sure to get them checked by your vet as soon as possible.
Key benefits
- special mix for diabetic cats
- keeps blood sugar low
- lots of protein which helps your cat create essential insulin
- helps reduce free radicals.
How it works
If your cat is diabetic, then they'll need a carefully balanced diet in order to get the most out of their food. This PURINA Proplan Veterinary Diets Feline DM St/Ox Diabetes Management makes sure that your feline friend stays healthy thanks to a careful mix of low carbohydrates and added vitamins.
Carbohydrates can cause blood sugar to rise, so lower amounts in your pet's food help to regulate it. Free radicals, which are formed as a result of diabetes, can also lead to illnesses including cancer. This food is packed with antioxidants, which destroy free radicals. The low carbohydrate content also helps to keep your cat at a healthy weight, and can help them produce more insulin naturally too.

Purina Diabetes Management dry foodTyson loves it! As soon as I open the airtight box in which I store the product, my cat stretches up and tries to steal the biscuits before I get the chance to put them in his dish!

The cats and dogs love it!We have used Purina Diabetes management for years for our diabetic cat. The other cats in the neighbourhood used to come through the cat flap to steal it before we got the dogs as it is so tasty. Pet Supermarket sell it much cheaper than the vets and are very efficient supplying it. Now we have to stop the dogs from stealing it! It has controlled my cats diabetes for years.
