Purina Canine DCO Diet

 

Complex carbohydrates and dietary fiber help to delay the absorption of glucose from the intestinal tract and minimize postprandial fluctuation of glucose in dogs with diabetes mellitus. Soluble fiber in the diet may also prolong gastrointestinal transit time, allow greater water absorption, and promote the production of short chain fatty acids, which nourish the intestinal mucosa. DCO Diabetes Colitis Formula provides complete and balanced nutrition for maintenance of adult dogs. Its high level of complex carbohydrates, increased dietary fiber and a moderate level of calories help meet the special needs of dogs with diabetes or colitis.

Purina Feline DM Diet

 

Cats are unique in their requirement to metabolize high concentration of dietary protein. The increase concentration of high quality protein in this diet provides the cat’s essential amino acid requirements and a substrate for glucose production. With glucose production from dietary amino acids, the carbohydrate content of the diet may be dramatically reduced as with this formulation. Glucose derived from hepatic gluconeogenesis is delivered to the bloodstream at a slower rate compared to the release of glucose from digestion of carbohydrate. The result is a more consistent, steady release of glucose and the potential for reduced insulin requirements.  This high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet fits a cat’s unique metabolism. DM helps to manage glucose levels in diabetic cats while meeting their special dietary needs.
