    Discover information on the latest changes to Royal Canin Veterinary Diet products, including discontinued lines and their recommended replacements.

    The following article provides an overview of upcoming changes to Royal Canin Veterinary Diet products. These updates reflect Royal Canin's ongoing commitment to improving nutritional formulations, and include the introduction of new products replacing existing lines.

    Royal Canin Diabetic Diet Update

    Royal Canin is updating the Diabetic Dry Dog Food range to the new and improved Royal Canin Glycobalance product. The new formula delivers all the same benefits your dog relies on, with an optimised recipe including:

    • Blood glucose management — specific formula to help manage post-prandial blood glucose levels in diabetic dogs
    • High protein — supports maintenance of muscle mass, which is essential in diabetic dogs
    • EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids — now sourced from algal oil as a sustainable and effective alternative to fish oil

    As always, we recommend checking with your veterinarian before making any changes to your pet's prescription diet.

    We understand that changes to your pet's prescription diet can be a concern, particularly for pets with ongoing health conditions like diabetes. Royal Canin and the Pet Circle Vet Squad are here to help make the transition as smooth as possible. If you're unsure which option is best for your pet's needs, we recommend speaking with your regular veterinarian.

    With any dietary change, a gradual transition over a minimum of 7 days is recommended to minimise the risk of digestive upset. Please refer to the transition guidance section below.

    If you have any questions or concerns, you can contact our Pet Circle Vet Squad via email on the Pet Circle website.

    Ensure a Gradual Transition

    Because your dog is moving from the Diabetic diet to the new Glycobalance formula, we recommend transitioning gradually over a minimum of 7 days to avoid any dietary upsets. A new recommendation from your veterinarian is required before purchasing Glycobalance.

    To make this transition possible, we recommend keeping approximately a week's worth of the current Diabetic diet in reserve.
