ROYAL CANIN DIABETIC DRY FOOD [1.5 KG]

What Is Royal Canin Diabetic Dog Dry Food 1.5kg?

Royal Canin Diabetic Dog Dry Food 1.5kg is a complete veterinary diet for adult dogs diagnosed with diabetes mellitus.

Its controlled starch and simple-sugar content helps manage the rise in blood glucose after meals. A high protein level helps maintain lean muscle while your dog follows a measured feeding and insulin plan.

Who Is This For?

Royal Canin Diabetic may be prescribed when:

• Your adult dog has been diagnosed with diabetes mellitus.
• Your veterinarian wants a diet that supports controlled post-meal blood glucose.
• Your dog requires consistent daily nutrition alongside prescribed insulin.
• Your diabetic dog needs high protein to help preserve lean muscle mass.
• Your veterinarian wants controlled starch and limited simple sugars in the daily diet.
• Your dog requires accurately measured meals at consistent times each day.
• Your veterinarian recommends a veterinary diabetic diet as part of a weight-management plan.

Do not start this food based only on increased thirst, frequent urination, weight loss or increased appetite. Kidney disease, hormonal disorders and other conditions can cause similar signs.

This formula is intended for adult dogs. It is generally not suitable for puppies, pregnant dogs or nursing dogs unless a veterinarian provides specific instructions.

Composition — What’s In It?

• Dehydrated poultry protein — provides concentrated animal protein and essential amino acids that help preserve lean muscle mass.
• Barley — provides complex carbohydrates that release energy more gradually than simple sugars.
• Wheat gluten and maize gluten — provide concentrated protein that supports muscle maintenance while controlling the overall carbohydrate profile.
• Vegetable fibres — help slow digestion and support a more controlled release of glucose after meals.
• Animal fats — provide concentrated energy and help make the food palatable.
• Tapioca — provides a controlled source of dietary carbohydrate and helps form the kibble.
• Hydrolysed animal proteins — proteins broken into smaller pieces to improve digestibility and flavour.
• Beet pulp — provides dietary fibre that supports healthy intestinal movement and stool formation.
• Fish oil — supplies omega-3 fatty acids that support normal cell and cardiovascular function.
• Psyllium husks and seeds — provide soluble fibre that absorbs water, slows digestion and supports balanced stool quality.
• Fructo-oligosaccharides — prebiotics, which are nutrients that feed beneficial intestinal bacteria.
• Marigold extract — provides lutein, an antioxidant that helps protect cells from everyday oxidative damage.

How to Use It

Feed Royal Canin Diabetic only under the guidance of a qualified veterinarian.

Measure your dog’s complete daily quantity with a kitchen scale. Feed the same measured amount at consistent times each day according to the meal and insulin schedule created by your veterinarian.

Do not change the food quantity, meal timing or number of meals without speaking to your vet. Changes in food intake can affect your dog’s insulin requirements and blood-glucose control.

Do not stop, reduce or increase insulin after starting this food unless your veterinarian instructs you to do so.

Avoid table scraps, biscuits, sweet foods, flavoured supplements and unapproved treats. These additions can change your dog’s calorie and carbohydrate intake.

Keep clean drinking water available at all times.

Transitioning to a New Food

Follow your veterinarian’s transition instructions. Unless your vet recommends another schedule:

Days 1–2: 75% current food + 25% Royal Canin Diabetic

Days 3–4: 50% current food + 50% Royal Canin Diabetic

Days 5–6: 25% current food + 75% Royal Canin Diabetic

Day 7 onwards: 100% Royal Canin Diabetic

A gradual transition may reduce digestive upset. Your veterinarian may recommend a different schedule when coordinating the food change with insulin treatment.

Monitor your dog’s appetite, thirst, urination and energy throughout the transition.

Feeding Guide

There is no single correct serving for every diabetic dog.

Your veterinarian should calculate the daily quantity using your dog’s:

• Target healthy weight
• Body condition
• Activity level
• Current insulin type and dose
• Number and timing of daily insulin injections
• Blood-glucose or glucose-curve results
• Other medical conditions

For safe daily feeding:

• Weigh every portion instead of estimating with a cup.
• Feed the same number of meals at the same times each day.
• Keep the daily calorie intake consistent.
• Include approved treats in the total daily calories.
• Do not compensate for a missed meal by doubling the next serving.
• Contact your veterinarian when your dog refuses food before a scheduled insulin dose.

Use the gram table printed on the Indian 1.5kg pack and the exact quantity prescribed by your veterinarian.

Common Questions

Is Royal Canin Diabetic a prescription dog food?

Yes. It is a veterinary diet formulated for adult dogs diagnosed with diabetes mellitus.

Use it only after a veterinarian has assessed your dog and created a complete food, insulin and monitoring plan.

Can Royal Canin Diabetic replace insulin?

No. This food provides nutritional support and does not replace prescribed insulin.

Never stop, reduce or increase your dog’s insulin without veterinary instructions.

Does Royal Canin Diabetic contain carbohydrates?

Yes. It contains controlled sources of carbohydrate rather than being carbohydrate-free.

The formula is designed to limit simple sugars and help manage the rise in blood glucose after eating.

Why is this food high in protein?

Higher protein helps maintain lean muscle mass, especially when a diabetic dog has lost weight or needs controlled calorie intake.

Your veterinarian should review its suitability if your dog also has kidney or liver disease.

How often should I feed a diabetic dog?

The number and timing of meals must match the insulin plan provided by your veterinarian.

Consistency is essential. Feed the same measured quantity at the scheduled times every day.

Can I give treats with Royal Canin Diabetic?

Only give treats approved by your veterinarian.

Ordinary biscuits, fruit, sweet foods, table scraps and flavoured chews can change carbohydrate intake and interfere with glucose management.

What should I do if my dog refuses a meal?

Contact your veterinarian before giving the usual insulin dose when your dog refuses food.

Giving insulin without the expected meal may cause dangerously low blood glucose. Follow the emergency instructions already provided by your veterinary clinic.

What are the signs of low blood glucose in a dog?

Possible warning signs include sudden weakness, shaking, confusion, unusual sleepiness, poor coordination, collapse or seizures.

Treat this as urgent. Follow your veterinarian’s emergency plan and contact a veterinary clinic immediately.

Can puppies eat Royal Canin Diabetic?

This formula is designed for adult dogs and is not intended to support normal puppy growth.

A diabetic puppy requires an individually planned veterinary diet that also meets growth requirements.

Can a dog with kidney disease eat Royal Canin Diabetic?

Do not assume that it is suitable.

The formula’s high protein level may not match the needs of some dogs with kidney disease. Your veterinarian must prioritise the diet according to both conditions and current test results.

How should I store Royal Canin Diabetic Dry Food?

Keep the bag tightly sealed in a cool, dry place away from sunlight, moisture and excessive heat.

Do not mix fresh kibble with old food left at the bottom of an unwashed storage container.
