Obesity & Diabetic (O&D)

Obesity is defined as the excessive accumulation of fats in the body, sufficient to deteriorate its functions and impair good health and well-being. It is considered in felines one of the main risk factors for the development of diabetes mellitus.

In addition to the risk of developing diabetes, medical complications associated with feline obesity can occur, for instance: orthopedic, cardiorespiratory, dermatological diseases, feline liver lipidosis and increased anesthetic risk. Equilíbrio Veterinary® Obesity & Diabetic Gatos – O&D has in its composition low energy content (reduced calories), which helps in the control of excess body fat, high content of soluble fibers (beet pulp and inulin) and insoluble fibers (cellulose in powder), which allow the animal’s satiety and reduce the consumption of calories, conserving the health of the gastrointestinal tract. Soluble fibers slow down gastric emptying and control nutrient absorption. Insoluble fibers increase the volume of food and speed up gastrointestinal transit.
