High-fibre food for overweight dogs and dogs with diabetes

: High-fibre dog food is suitable for overweight dogs and improves control of blood sugar level in dogs with diabetes.

High-fibre dog food is suitable for overweight dogs whose owners wish them to lose weight through the use of low-calorie food and increased exercise. High-fibre food can improve control of blood sugar level in dogs with diabetes and thus improve their quality of life.

Dietetic food for overweight dogs

It is estimated that around half of domestic dogs are overweight. Dogs carrying excess pounds take less pleasure in exercise and are lethargic, reducing both quality of life and life expectancy. Just like overweight people, overweight dogs are at greater risk of health problems such as diabetes, cardiovascular problems, metabolic disorders and bone and joint problems.

Low-calorie food that promotes satiety

To lose weight, overweight dogs need more exercise and low-calorie food. Dietetic dog foods need to contain the full range of essential nutrients and promote satiety. High-fibre dietetic foods contain a high proportion of crude fibre and are low in fat. Crude fibres such as cellulose absorb water and, despite the low calorific value of the food, ensure that the animal feels full for longer. Cellulose is ideal for increasing the amount of fibre in dog food.

Crude fibre for low-calorie dog food

Depending on context and the analytical methods used, cellulose may be described as crude fibre, dietary fibre or insoluble fibre. JELUCEL^® natural raw fibre concentrate consists of pure cellulose. JELUCEL^® is added to standard dog foods to increase fibre content. Crude fibre can replace 10 to 15% of a dog’s wet or dry food. Cellulose increases dietary fibre content and is ideal for dietetic feeds. JELU raw fibre concentrate is tasteless, is made up of natural plant fibres and contains no preservatives.

High-fibre food for dogs with diabetes

Dietetic foods for dogs with diabetes contain a moderate amount of soluble and insoluble fibre. High-fibre food

slows down stomach emptying
reduces the speed with which the food is absorbed
increases release of regulatory hormones from the gastrointestinal tract into the blood
slows down glucose absorption
results in better control of blood sugar levels.

JELUCEL^® raw fibre concentrate increases the amount of fibre in dog food and improves the quality of life of dogs with diabetes.
