Abstract

Diabetes is a serious health issue in dogs and cats that is usually treated through the use of injectable insulin. There are more than 90 million pet dogs in the United States, and 1 in every 400–500 dogs suffers from diabetes. Diabetes typically occurs later in life, usually around 7–10 years of age, with certain breeds being at a higher risk of developing this disease. Traditional diabetic management in dogs and cats includes food monitoring, glucose monitoring (which is done with the use of a canine-specific glucometer), moderate exercise, medication, and insulin therapy. Often times, dog and cat owners decline diabetic treatment because they either do not feel confident in giving insulin injections or because they simply cannot afford treatment, as traditional insulin therapy and medication are expensive. Therefore, it is beneficial to determine the efficacy and safety of a potential oral formulation for diabetic management. An oral formulation of nutraceutical(s) may provide an easier administration (noninvasive) method and provide lower costs to dog and cat owners by not requiring additional supplies such as needles and syringes. This chapter describes various plant extracts and nutraceuticals that have potential for anti-diabetic and antihyperglycemic effects in diabetic dogs and cats.
