A well-functioning metabolism helps your little one live their best life and helps prevent metabolic disease in dogs and cats. But why is a healthy metabolism such a crucial aspect of pet care? We’ll discuss how this process is vital to our pets’ overall quality of life, health, and longevity. We’ll also delve into common metabolic issues our little ones might face and, most importantly, how to support and promote a robust metabolism in our beloved pets.
A functioning metabolism plays a vital role in our pets’ overall quality of life, health, and longevity.
Metabolism is a complex set of biochemical processes that occur within an organism’s body. A healthy metabolism in your little one helps keep them active, playful, and full of life. A well-functioning metabolism also helps prevent obesity, a prevalent issue in pets that can be a risk factor for various health problems.
These are the critical functions that a healthy metabolism will affect in our little ones, directly influencing their quality of life:
A robust metabolism can also help fend off metabolic diseases and other illnesses. Our furry companions can face several metabolic issues, including:
Diagnosing metabolic issues in pets typically involves a combination of physical exams, blood tests, and sometimes imaging studies like X-rays or ultrasounds. Regular veterinary check-ups are essential for early detection.
If your pet is diagnosed with a metabolic issue, your veterinarian will recommend a tailored treatment plan. This may include medications, dietary changes, and lifestyle adjustments. Always follow your vet’s guidance to ensure your pet’s well-being.
Prevention is key! Having some proactive measures helps promote a healthier metabolism in your pets. Ensuring a healthy diet and keeping your pets active with daily exercise can go a long way in helping maintain a healthy weight and metabolism. Also, make sure they have access to fresh water at all times.
Feeding your pets a high-quality, well-balanced diet appropriate for their age, size, and activity level is a great starting point. You can also consider specialized metabolic food and treats designed to support your pet’s metabolism.
Metabolic-specific pet food and treats are formulated to support weight management and metabolic health. These products often contain controlled levels of specific nutrients to help your pet maintain a healthy weight, making them a valuable part of a comprehensive approach to managing metabolic issues.
Natural supplements can also help promote a healthy metabolism in your little one. With that in mind, our holistic vet and master herbalist put together the NHV Metabolism Gold Support kit. This bundle contains NHV Multi Essentials and NHV Yucca. These herbal supplements work together to help improve your dog or cat’s metabolism and target symptoms of age and metabolic deficiencies. The vitamins and minerals found in these two products also help fill dietary gaps, promote nutrient absorption, and provide anti-inflammatory properties.
Caring for our pets goes beyond cuddles and playtime! By understanding the significance of a healthy metabolism, being aware of metabolic disease in dogs & cats, and taking proactive steps to promote a robust metabolism, we can provide our furry friends with the happy and healthy lives they deserve. Always consult your veterinarian for personalized guidance on your pet’s specific needs, and together, we can give our pets the best life possible!

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.
