What is Canine Diabetes Mellitus?

Diabetes results when the dog’s pancreas fails to produce enough insulin. Sugars build up in the bloodstream rather than enter the body’s tissues where they would otherwise provide energy. (This is why diabetic dogs are often lethargic.)
Excess sugar in a dog’s bloodstream can lead to several of other conditions, including heart, liver and kidney disease, increased infections, slow healing, cataracts, blindness, etc.

Risk factors for dog diabetes include:

• Obesity
• Poor diet
• Cortisone treatments
• Genetic predisposition

Diabetes is more common in:

• Female dogs
• Overweight dogs
• Middle-aged and older dogs

Common Symptoms of Dog Diabetes Mellitus include:

• Increased thirst, frequent urination
• Weakness, lethargy
• Signs of pain in the abdomen
• Cataracts (eyes cloudy rather than clear)

Diagnosing and treating Dog Diabetes

If you think your dog might have diabetes, you should take him to a vet. A veterinarian can diagnose dog diabetes mellitus by examining sugar levels in the dog’s blood or urine.

Treatment includes a healthy diet, high in fiber and complex carbohydrates. You should feed your dog in small amounts, several times a day, to help his body stabilize insulin levels. If your dog is overweight, you should help him lose weight through diet and increased exercise. Conventional treatment may also include regular injections of insulin.

Can herbal remedies help treat dog diabetes?

Many studies have indicated that the right combination of herbal extracts – such as those in Canine Mellit – can:

• Prevent dog diabetes from developing, and
• Keep it under control in dogs that already have it

The herbs in Canine Mellit act directly on blood sugar levels to help control dog diabetes. It is highly effective when used alone, or as part of a comprehensive treatment program.

Canine Mellit is completely healthy and natural, without harsh chemicals. It is safe for long-term use. This is a very popular product for one reason: it works!

Our customers have the last word…

"My dog Jake is getting on in years, to put it mildly. Not long ago, he was diagnosed with diabetes. I did not want to get into insulin injections, so my vet recommended I put him on a diet and try a natural supplement. Am I ever glad I did. Jake is now acting like he did five years ago!" Mike, Cornwall Ont.

"I wanted to tell you that our little Ellie is doing great on your Mellit product. After finding out that she had diabetes we got really frustrated. Although she is little, she is a squirmer and a fighter. My husband and I had a hard time giving her the insulin shots. The trapping for shots also made her very leery of us and it was upsetting that our little girl was afraid of us.

We found your product on the computer and after talking to a nice girl on the phone decided to try it. Ellie has been taking Mellit for three months now and is doing well. We have stopped her insulin shots and she is now comes up to us for cuddles again. We had her tested after four weeks like the girl on the phone told us and the product is really doing its job. Thank you,"

Customer Testimonial
“Sometimes, you get a nice surprise. Recently, I had just this experience when I bought your product, Mellit for my dog, Hoover. After being diagnosed as a diabetic, we immediately changed his diet and now have him on a strict regime. Along with this we have been giving him Mellit which we bought from your website. We liked the natural nature of the product but not having tried it before, were not really sure how effective it would be in helping manage Hoovers’ diabetes. Then, the nice surprise! Months passed and Hoover seems to be feeling great since starting on Mellit. The condition is stable and there are no signs of complications or problems that can come with diabetes. Mellit is a really good product, very affordable and works better than we could have hoped. Hoover is doing so well. Thanks” Michelle
