Today's question is What's the best diet for my dog with diabetes?

Your dog is drinking a lot and peeing a lot, so you go to the veterinarian and find out your dog has diabetes. Now you're wondering, “Is there a better food to be feeding him than this processed food, this canned and dry food?” The very best food for your dog with diabetes is a fresh-made diet. Conventional treatment is a high-fiber, low-fat diet that is usually commercially made. Essentially, just keep your dog’s diet low carb and feed a mostly meat diet, which is the normal natural diet for dogs (carnivores).

Fresh Foods For A Healthy Pancreas

There are a couple of foods that Dr. Basko suggests in his book for a healthy pancreas that will help treat diabetes.

Healthy pancreas foods include:
Oyster Mushrooms
Dandelion Root, dandelions are so wonderful
Sprouts of any sort, Clover sprouts specifically
Pumpkin
Cottage Cheese
Egg

Those are some of the foods you could be adding into your dog’s fresh, raw or cooked meat diet.

Other Holistic Approaches

While conventional treatment is insulin, there are many different holistic approaches that can help with diabetes. Traditional Chinese veterinary medicine, homeopathy, and western herbs can all possibly help to prevent the need for insulin or at least minimize the use of insulin so it doesn’t have to keep going up and up and up, and your dog can stay healthy and balanced.
