Pet Wellbeing Blood Sugar Gold for Dogs - Healthy Blood Sugar Levels, Pancreas & Liver Function, Devil’s Club, Gymnema - Veterinarian-Formulated Herbal Supplement 2 oz (59 ml)

I just took my cat to vet a week ago, since she was drinking a lot more water, (For almost a minute straight) and her litter box was filling up a lot faster with urine. My vet ran a Mini profile for $60 and a Thyroid test for $45. She is 10 years old, 11lbs. I had just switched her, a few weeks prior, to Rachel Roy dry cat food from the local grocery store that had no wheat, corn, soy, animal by-products or fillers. That was a mistake, though I thought the ingredients were good for her. I think the switch to this food created this high glucose issue. My vet showed me the test results and the actual vial, 80% of it was filled with a white fat like bacon grease! He explained that dry cat food I was giving her was loaded with fats and not good for her. So he runs the test and tells me that she may be diabetic, which may be food induced. He stated that most of his clients that have cats with diabetes do very well with Purina DM dry food for cats that they also sell there at the vet office. After I bought the dry cat food from the vet, which was very pricey, I started researching this product and dried cat food altogether. I read online about how cats with diabetes should NOT have dry foods, as this is not good for them and the so called RX brands are very costly. My vet wanted me to start the Purina DM dry cat food and have my buy insulin for her. I did not want to do this, as I was thinking this was just caught in time, her excessive drinking and peeing had just started. He gave her a shot of insulin to stabilize her blood sugar a bit. I told him I am going to try the food switch to see if it helps before committing to me having to draw her blood daily and inject her with insulin. I'm all for natural holistic alternatives, if safe. He ok'd me doing this. I knew I had 2 weeks before I had to go back for a Glucose check. I researched cat diabetes more...here is an update:I was praying to god that this would help: After reading reviews, I chose Fancy Feast Classic wet canned food. I started with the chicken and the also the turkey, as they are easier on the stomach for the switch. I slowly introduced it to her, this is very important as cats stomachs cannot handle a fast change with food. I used 1/2 of her normal cat food with 1/3 can of the Fancy Feast Classic before I received the Blood Sugar Gold. I did this for approx 5-6 days. On day 7, I then went to 1/3 of her regular dry cat food and 1/2 of a can of Fancy Feast Wet canned food with 2 drops in the am only of the Blood Sugar Gold. (Make sure to shake it well, as there is settlement towards the bottom). I wanted to slowly introduce her to this as well. I did this for 3 days to make sure her stomach is ok. On day 10, I went to 1/2 a can of Fancy Feast Classic in the am, along with 2 drops of the Blood Sugar Gold. (I keep track of her feeding times on a schedule, since I work from my home office.) I feed her 1/2 a can every 4 hours. Make sure to put a cover on it and refrigerate it, as it can spoil if you leave it out. Example: 10am, 2pm, 6pm, 10pm. I then give her 1/3 of a new can at midnight as a snack. So, at 11-12lbs, she is getting a total of 2 1/3 cans of food. I'm only using 2 drops of the Blood Sugar Gold in the am now. This seems to work for her. Stay away from the dry cat food. My vet prescribed it and I bought it from him, then I got home and read about cats and how they are not meant to eat dry cat foods. My cat's onset Diabetes was food induced from the dry cat food. But I caught it early, when she hovered over her water bowl and started drinking for over 1 minute straight. She peed a lot more as well. Thank god I read about cats, diabetes, dry cat food and came across this product on Amazon. Just google "Cat diabetes".Also, the wet canned cat food, has a lot of water in it. You will notice your cat will not drink as much water once you switch from dry food to wet. Your cat will urinate less as well. Just keep an eye on your pet and KEEP TRACK of the food you give her, the times, the amount of urine and poop. This way you can monitor what is working. Hope this helps.

N/A

Do not use this product in place of insulin injections unless approved by your Veterinarian! I used this product and weaned my dog completely off the vetsulin injections ordered twice a day. I had to travel and my fur baby was dead in one week! This product does not take the place of insulin. Please run this product by your Veterinarian!!! Never again

Not sure if it works. Cat passed away in spite of this product (She was elderly and her symptoms did not abate.)

Blood Sugar GOLD really works. I've been giving this herbal supplement to my dog for more than 6 weeks and she's doing well. Since she started taking the Blood Sugar Gold she is not hungry and thirsty all the time, so therefore she is not constantly peeing like she was doing 6 weeks ago. She can hold her urine 6 - 8 hours during the night until the next morning. I give her 2 droppers full twice a day, even though the label indicates that she's only suppose to get 1- 1/2 droppers twice a day. I find that the 2 droppers twice a day works better for her. After starting her on a grain free diet (PAWZ and Taste Of The Wild kibbles mixed with some can dog food) that's when I noticed the changes. I also decreased the treats to only at night before bed. I give her a 1/2 cup plain low fat yogurt and mix it with the supplement at night. She only get chicken jerky or boiled chicken breast for her treats and she usually gets that at night with the yogurt. Overall, she's doing well with the supplement and the diet changes. She's not on any insulin she's only taking Blood Sugar Gold. It doesn't work overnight but it does work. Patience is the key.The only issue that I have is the $$$ for a 4oz bottle. I think it's expensive for the amount you get in the bottle. I would feel better about the price if the bottle was 6-8 oz. I purchased a 4oz bottle of Primalix Blood-Sugar BALANCE herbal extract for dogs and cats for only $41 and it has all of the ingredients that's in Blood Sugar Gold. I'm going to try that one next to see if works like this supplement.

Dog died!

It has only been 2 days from the writing of this review and maybe I'm dreaming but I already see a difference in my little fur baby. She has diabetes and having to give shots twice a day is awful. I stop giving her insulin two days ago and used the supplement instead she is peeing less and is more alert. She is going out on the porch and sitting on the rocker like she used to. She doesn't seem to be laying around like she was dead as before. I do have to put it in her food as she won't let me put it in her mouth. I'm so upset with myself not knowing about this product before. I can see more improvements coming after more days of use. The Veterinarian who created this really understood the pain of insulin shots and understood what other natural product can be used instead. Perhaps it may not work for your dog or cat but it's worth a try because my little one was pretty sick and this is working. I would image you can ease off of the insulin or give a little insulin with the supplement not a Doctor so I don't know. I chose to take her right off of insulin this way I would know if it is working or not but you would have decide how to proceed. Going to order more for sure.
