Diabetes

There are basically three ways that might help prevent canine diabetes. This disease is one that you want your dog to avoid so that the dog lives as long and healthy as possible. And although it’s rare, there are many dogs whose diabetes go into remission just by having their diet, supplementation, and exercise all in good order.

1. cut the carbs. Most dog foods sold in pet stores contain as much as 98% carbohydrates. By reducing the amount of carbs in your dog’s daily meals, this minimized carb level can go a long way towards diabetes prevention.

Diet is especially important for dogs that are genetically at risk for canine diabetes. It is very important that you study up on your dog breed and make sure that he is getting the right nutrients so that the gene which can store diabetes will not be triggered off.

Golden retrievers are amongst the most common dogs in the US. Unfortunately, many of these retrievers get diabetes because their owners did not do enough research for their breed type in order to get their diet correct from puppy hood.

2. Find the best vetin your area. Ask the vet about natural supplementation for the immune system. Many dog owners don’t know to do this very critical dog diabetes prevention step. taking with organic products such as antioxidants and herbs for the immune system can make a huge impact on preventing diabetes, particully for the dog breeds which are genetically at risk for this disease.

Flea medications and tick insecticides can also trigger diabetes because of thetoxic state produced in the body. By keeping your dog clean of these chemicals and toxinsyou are helping his immune system stay healthy.

3. Exercise! It is very sad to see so many dogs out there who develop canine diabetes that should never have in the first place had they been active and not become overweight. This of course is the direct responsibility of you, the dog owner. If your dog is inactive and gains weight, he can develop diabetes even if he is not a breed that is genetically at risk.

20min energetic walking two to three times per day is all your dog calls for for best health and to keep him in good shape. If you can go jogging with your dog then that is even better. Having your dog swim is also a great option for exercise.
