Supports healing of pancreatitis and diabetes mellitus in cats
Foster Brown and Recon are tabby brothers from different mothers, but they have been together since they were itty bitty rescue kitties. At 12 years old, they still get along as brothers do, but their personalities and health profiles are quite individual.
Foster Brown is a chonky fellow with a sweet heart and shy demeanor, but he loves cuddles and hugs. He is healthy but has diabetes, so he gets diabetes meds twice a day, and his diet and blood sugar must be monitored. He has NHV Mellit and NHV Multi Essentials.
Recon was born under a truck in a towing yard, and his teeth and wild instincts are really sharp. Recon is brave, though he’s tiny next to his adopted brother. He spends his time patrolling, but refuses to be held while on duty; then he will purr like a motor for chin and belly skritches. Now that he’s older, Recon is showing signs of arthritis and an overactive thyroid, so he needs a little extra support from NHV Old Timer and NHV Resthyro.
The one thing these furry fellows absolutely have in common is a love for beef, crunchy NHV treats for cats, and kibble in their puzzle feeder.
Good food is good fuel, but as a pet grows and ages, dietary needs will change. The best diet for a healthy puppy is quite different from a supportive diet for pets with IBD, stressed organs, or food allergies, for example. Having a well-balanced diet ensures your pet gets the right combination of protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals to support good energy, a healthy GI tract, and overall wellness. Become a label reader and check the ingredients in the food your pet eats. With the right supplementation, you could even oƯer home-cooked meals to your furkiddo.

Cats, for example, do not produce taurine naturally, so they require meat and organs as part of their natural diet, which makes them “obligate carnivores.” Dogs make their own taurine, so their dietary needs are more flexible. They might eat meat and vegetables, or just about anything they can fit in their mouths, so they are omnivores.
Nutritional needs vary based on your little one’s life stage, activity level, and weight. Senior pets have diƯerent needs than a growing puppy or kitten, for example. Tailoring a nutritious diet to suit a pet’s specific needs can help support and maintain good health by targeting optimal calories, fiber content, and ingredients in ways that a generic feeding plan cannot.
NHV offers a Personalized Veterinary Nutrition Plan with professional dietary advice from our holistic vet, so you can make healthy, delicious home-cooked meals to help support your little one from the inside out.
Experts who work with pets care about helping pet parents navigate complicated information and veterinary questions about their little one’s health. Get to know your personal vet and their clinic staff; they’re here to offer help for animals.
Qualified veterinary advice and diagnostics help pet parents understand their little one’s diagnosis, medications, and available treatment options. Technicians and vet staff can often provide practical information and instructions as well, under veterinary guidance. If visiting a vet immediately isn’t possible, seeking free veterinary advice online can be helpful in a pinch, but making a connection with your own vet and their clinic team can really make a difference.
Professional guidance is essential when dealing with complex cases
People who care for pets care about their people too, so ask questions. Professional guidance is essential when dealing with complex cases. For example, pets can often have several concerns at once, such as a senior dog with severe arthritis that also has food allergies and hypothyroidism. It can also be helpful when pet parents just feel overwhelmed or confused by pet care choices. At NHV, we are here to help you and your furkiddo.
As pet parents ourselves, we know you only want the best for your furry friend. NHV Natural Pet Products are formulated by a master herbalist and holistic veterinarian with over 50 years of combined experience. Our extracts are made from human-grade, high-quality ingredients, and every herb is meticulously measured to ensure safety.
Each pet is unique in how they respond to natural supplements because every animal has its unique individual health history, diet, physiology, and metabolism. NHV supplements provide 100% natural holistic support for the whole body to improve overall wellness and quality of life. They can be purchased individually and are safe to use together, allowing pet parents to customize a supplement plan for their little one’s specific needs.

Diabetes can be very unpleasant for your little one - they can experience intense thirst, more frequent visits to the bathroom and low energy levels.
Hearing that your furkiddo has been diagnosed with diabetes is not something any paw parent wants to hear. Diabetes in cats and dogs is a disorder of carbohydrate metabolism where their body has difficulty regulating blood sugar levels. Two factors common to many cases of pet diabetes are overeating and obesity. And other well-documented symptoms of diabetes (in addition to excessive thirst and urination) are poor skin and coat conditions. In the more advanced stages of diabetes, cats and dogs may become very lazy and lose their appetite entirely. If left untreated, diabetes may lead to cataracts, blindness, an enlarged liver, bladder or kidney infection, and renal complications.
A typical approach to diabetes management may involve a combination of weight loss, a change in diet, insulin injections, and perhaps natural remedies.
Type I Diabetes is when the pancreas cannot produce sufficient insulin levels - this is the most common type of diabetes in dogs. So far, there is no known evidence stating that dogs develop type II diabetes. Breeds such as Poodles, Dachshunds, Schnauzers, Cairn Terriers, and Beagles are especially susceptible to developing diabetes - though any breed may be affected. Also, dogs with endocrine conditions such as Cushing's disease are more likely to develop diabetes as well as pregnant female dogs (who may develop gestational diabetes).
Type II Diabetes is often linked to diet and obesity and is the result of insulin resistance. It is the most common type of diabetes to affect cats (as well as humans). All purebred and mixed-breed cats are equally susceptible to developing type II diabetes.
Diet plays a crucial role in helping to manage your pet's diabetes. If they are overweight, gradual weight loss can really help improve symptoms. For our feline friends, your vet can create a safe weight loss meal plan that is high in protein, low in carbs and specifically designed for diabetes. Switch your cat's feeding from free-feeding to twice daily feeding. A dog's diet may not need to be tailored for diabetes but should be well balanced and address any health issues they may have.
With insulin injections, there are a variety of different products for dogs and cats. Finding the right product for your dog or cat diabetes management may require experimentation as individual insulin responses may vary. Once insulin therapy has begun, we recommend frequent monitoring of their blood sugar, which may require a day at the hospital to collect a blood glucose curve, while other tests may require a shorter visit. At-home monitoring, which includes checking urine and blood glucose is also recommended. For herbal therapy, we would recommend using our Diabetes Kit with Metabolism Support which contains Mellit, Milk Thistle and Multi Essentials. Mellit was formulated to help manage blood sugar levels and support healthy pancreatic function while Milk Thistle supports liver function and Multi Essentials helps support healthy circulation and metabolism.
NHV supplements are formulated by a holistic veterinarian and master herbalist to be gentle, effective remedies that complement vet-formulated care plans. But it should never replace professional advice from your veterinarian. If you have any questions about your pet’s health or want to chat about their ongoing care plan, get in touch with an NHV Pet Expert.

Regardless of your furkiddo’s age, it’s never easy to see them slowing down and having difficulties with their health. If your furry friend is having a tough time with their digestion, then they may not be able to break down and absorb all of the nutrients necessary for maintaining healthy skin, fur and overall health. Our Digestion Kit is formulated to help fill nutritional voids, improve absorption and overall gastrointestinal health.
Just like humans, as our pets age, they may be a little less energetic. That's totally normal! We all require different levels of support at different stages in our lives. Our Digestion Kit contains Yucca, and Multi Essentials, which is a supplement bundle designed to help our pets better absorb nutrients and trigger metabolism. Yucca contains a high level of antioxidant properties that are beneficial for promoting healthy appetite and improving absorption. When it comes to cat sensitive stomach and gastrointestinal dog care, the herbs in Multi Essentials provide many key vitamins and minerals for building and maintaining healthy GI tract health, promoting healthy metabolism, and helping to reduce fatigue. Ingredients like chickweed and dandelion are effective digestive tonics that may help to enhance absorption while herbs like Oregon grape help to reduce indigestion and malabsorption.
It’s great to know that there are ways to support your furkiddo’s digestion naturally! Other than adding natural supports to their daily meals, if you’re wondering about options for gastrointestinal dog care and cat care, a personalized diet for your pet, created by Dr. Amanda, is another great way to support your furry friend!
