Royal Canin Glycobalance is a complete and balanced veterinary diet specifically formulated to support healthy blood glucose levels in adult dogs with diabetes mellitus.

Designed with a low starch content and carefully selected carbohydrates, including barley, this highly palatable dry food helps support glycaemic control while providing the protein and nutrients needed to maintain lean muscle mass and a healthy body condition.

Its tailored formulation and palatability also help encourage predictable food intake at mealtimes, an important consideration when managing dogs with diabetes.

Royal Canin Glycobalance is the new nutritionally equivalent replacement for Royal Canin Diabetic Dog. A new recommendation from your veterinarian is required before purchase.

Key Benefits

• Supports Healthy Blood Glucose Levels
  Formulated with a reduced level of starch to help support healthy blood glucose levels. The diet contains cereals with a low glycaemic index, including barley, to help manage the post-meal blood glucose response.
• High Protein
  A high protein content helps maintain lean muscle mass and supports healthy body composition during weight loss and weight maintenance.
• Specific Fibre Blend
  Contains a tailored blend of dietary fibres designed to support glycaemic control. These fibres may help slow gastric emptying and starch digestion, helping to flatten the post-meal blood glucose curve.
• Predictable Food Intake
  Formulated for palatability to encourage consistent and predictable food intake at mealtimes.
• Supports Weight Management
  With tailored protein, fibre and moderate fat levels, Glycobalance helps support healthy body composition and long-term weight management, an important part of managing diabetes.

• Diabetes mellitus with a body condition score (BCS) of 6/9 or below
• Diabetes mellitus with a BCS of 7/9 or above until glycaemic control has been achieved

Not Recommended For
