Dogs and Diabetes:
Sounds stupid but it's everyday life!

Diabetes is a growing problem, not only in humans , but now also affects more and more dogs. Poor diet, lack of exercise and an unbalanced microbiome contribute to this preventable disease. Read here how these factors are related and what dog owners can do.

The role of nutrition: sugar traps in the bowl or plate!

Most dogs are fed industrially produced food that often contains low-quality, cheap ingredients such as sugar, grains and artificial additives.
This "fast food diet" puts a huge strain on the dog's metabolism. An excess of carbohydrates leads to the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas becoming overwhelmed and losing their function in the long term. The result: an insulin deficiency, which leads to diabetes.

Lack of exercise: An underestimated risk factor

Dogs that don't get enough exercise tend to become overweight - one of the main causes of diabetes. Fat tissue produces pro-inflammatory substances that reduce the cells' sensitivity to insulin. Without regular exercise, blood sugar is not broken down efficiently, which increases the risk of insulin resistance.

The Microbiome: Guardian of Health

The intestine, the center of the immune system, and a balanced microbiome play a key role in your dog's health. An unbalanced intestinal flora - often caused by poor quality food or medication - can promote inflammation and disrupt metabolic processes. This not only increases the risk of diabetes, but also weakens your dog's immune system.

Recognize warning signals

Typical symptoms of diabetes in dogs are:

Increased thirst (polydipsia)
Frequent urination (polyuria)
Weight loss despite increased appetite
fatigue and weakness

If you notice one or more of these signs, you should definitely have your dog examined by a veterinarian.

What can you do?

Optimize nutrition: Use high-quality food without added sugar and unnecessary carbohydrates. A fiber-rich diet can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Regular exercise: Plan daily walks and play sessions to avoid obesity.

Strengthen the microbiome: Support your dog's intestinal health with pre- and probiotics as well as a balanced diet.

Veterinary care: Have your dog examined regularly to detect metabolic problems early.

This is where the Exqizid concept comes in. The overload of the organism by all kinds of substances (sugar, grains, etc.) that have accumulated over the years is gently but effectively bound and eliminated in a first step with Exqizid Di-Tox . In a second step, the all-important gastrointestinal tract is rebuilt with Exqizid Ri-Fresh and your four-legged friend's microbiome is strengthened again, which leads to a normal and strong immune system because around 80% of the immune cells and 90% of the antibodies are located or are formed in the intestine.

Diabetes in dogs is usually preventable - through a species-appropriate diet, sufficient exercise and maintaining a healthy microbiome with Exqizid . By keeping an eye on these factors, you can significantly reduce the risk of this serious disease and enable your dog to live a vital life.
