Senvelgo is suitable for cats diagnosed with stable diabetes and is administered orally using the syringe provided. Diabetes in Cats is a chronic metabolic disorder commonly seen in older or overweight cats. It occurs when the body is either unable to produce enough insulin or cannot effectively use the insulin it does produce. Insulin is a hormone necessary for the body to regulate blood sugar (glucose) levels. Without sufficient insulin action, glucose cannot enter the cells properly and begins to accumulate in the bloodstream. This leads to a variety of health issues if not managed appropriately.
How Senvelgo works
Senvelgo works differently to insulin injections. It reduces the reabsorption of glucose by the kidneys. Normally, the kidneys filter glucose and then reclaim most of it back into the bloodstream. Senvelgo reduces this reclaiming effect, so more glucose is passed out of the body in the urine. By increasing urinary glucose loss, blood glucose can fall and diabetic signs can improve.
Because more glucose is present in urine, some effects can follow. Urine volume can increase and thirst can remain increased, particularly early on. Diabetes itself also causes increased thirst and urination, which is why follow-up and testing remain important. Your vet may check hydration and kidney parameters before and during treatment.
Senvelgo contains the active ingredient velagliflozin, a selective sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor. It works by increasing the amount of glucose excreted in the urine, thereby lowering blood sugar levels. By helping to reduce hyperglycaemia without directly increasing insulin levels, Senvelgo provides an alternative approach to diabetes management in cats.
Senvelgo is not a form of insulin and does not replace insulin in all cases. It is designed for use in cats who are able to maintain stable blood sugar levels without insulin or as advised by a veterinary professional. Its once-daily oral administration makes it a convenient option for pet owners who may find injections challenging or stressful for their cat.
Each 12ml bottle of Senvelgo is supplied with a dosing syringe that allows for accurate administration. The dosage is determined by a veterinarian based on your cat’s weight and specific condition. It is important to follow the dosing instructions carefully to ensure effective management of the disease. Senvelgo should be given directly into the cat’s mouth and not mixed with food or water.

More Information
Description
Diabetes in Cats is a manageable condition, but it requires consistent monitoring and treatment. If left untreated, diabetes in cats can lead to serious complications such as weight loss, muscle wasting, dehydration, liver problems, and diabetic ketoacidosis; a potentially life-threatening condition.
Common signs of diabetes in cats include increased thirst, frequent urination, weight loss despite a normal or increased appetite, and lethargy. If you notice these signs, it is important to consult your veterinarian as early diagnosis and treatment can greatly improve the outcome.
Senvelgo offers a new method of managing feline diabetes that does not rely on insulin injections. Its action is glucose-dependent, which means it works only when blood glucose levels are elevated. This can reduce the risk of hypoglycaemia, a condition where blood sugar drops too low. Senvelgo is typically well tolerated in cats, but side effects may occur. The most common include increased urination and mild dehydration. In rare cases, urinary tract infections may also develop.
Regular veterinary check-ups and blood tests are recommended during treatment with Senvelgo to monitor glucose levels, kidney function, and overall health. Senvelgo is not suitable for use in all cats. It should not be used in kittens, pregnant or lactating queens, or cats with certain pre-existing medical conditions such as severe kidney disease or recurrent urinary tract infections. Your vet will assess your cat’s medical history and determine whether this medication is appropriate.
Feline diabetes requires long-term management. Although Senvelgo can help stabilise blood glucose, regular veterinary visits and home ketone monitoring remain a critical part of the treatment process. Owners should maintain a daily routine, monitor food and water intake, and keep records of any symptoms or changes.
Senvelgo is an oral liquid. Accurate measurement matters, so the dose should be measured with the device supplied or one recommended by the prescriber. Doses should be given consistently at around the same time each day unless your vet advises otherwise.
The 12 ml bottle provides a smaller volume option. It can suit smaller daily doses, shorter dispensing periods, or situations where closer early follow-up is planned. Your vet will select the bottle size based on dose, expected treatment length, and monitoring schedule.
If administration is difficult, veterinary staff can demonstrate technique and discuss practical tips to reduce stress, such as gentle restraint, giving the dose slowly, and rewarding calm behaviour afterwards with an appropriate treat.
Monitoring helps your vet assess both response and safety. Owners often track thirst, urination, appetite, weight, and energy. Your vet may also recommend repeat blood work and urine checks to confirm control and detect complications.
Ketones are produced when the body breaks down fat rapidly because it cannot use glucose. A build-up of ketones can lead to diabetic ketoacidosis, which is an emergency. Warning signs can include reduced appetite, vomiting, lethargy, weakness, dehydration, and faster or deeper breathing. Any diabetic cat that becomes unwell should be assessed promptly.
Illness, reduced food intake, and infections can increase the risk of ketosis in diabetic cats. For some cats, a vet may advise urine ketone checks during higher-risk periods and will provide an action plan for what to do if ketones are detected. The correct plan is individual, so veterinary advice should be followed closely.
How quickly does Senvelgo start working?
Some cats show improvement in thirst, urination, and energy within the first weeks, but response varies. Your vet will use follow-up checks to confirm safe glucose control, because clinical signs alone can be misleading. Dose adjustments or a switch to insulin may be needed if control is not adequate.
Which cats may not be suitable for Senvelgo?
Suitability depends on examination and tests. Cats that are unwell at diagnosis, have ketones, or are suspected of diabetic ketoacidosis need urgent veterinary care and may require insulin and intensive support. Cats with significant dehydration, poor appetite, or other serious illness also need a tailored plan from a vet.
What diet is usually recommended for diabetic cats?
Many diabetic cats do well on diets that are higher in protein and lower in carbohydrate, as this can reduce post-meal glucose rises. The best diet depends on the individual cat’s weight, appetite, and other conditions such as kidney disease. Your vet can recommend a suitable diet and feeding routine.
What are the common signs of diabetes in cats?
Typical signs include increased thirst, increased urination, weight loss despite a good appetite, and reduced activity. Some cats develop a dull coat or weakness in the back legs. Vomiting, marked lethargy, dehydration, or rapid breathing can indicate complications and should be assessed urgently by a vet.
What should I monitor at home after starting my cat on Senvelgo?
Track thirst, urination, appetite, body weight, energy, and litter tray habits. Watch for urinary discomfort, vomiting, reduced food intake, or unusual breathing, and contact your vet promptly if these occur. A simple daily diary helps your vet interpret progress and decide whether further testing or changes are needed.

- Combating oxidative stress: Antioxidants in Aktivait neutralise free radicals, reducing damage to brain cells and promoting healthy cognitive function.
- Supporting neurotransmitter production: Ingredients like acetyl-L-carnitine help maintain the levels of neurotransmitters, which are essential for communication between brain cells.
- Improving energy metabolism: Coenzyme Q10 and other nutrients enhance cellular energy production, ensuring that brain cells function efficiently.
- Reducing inflammation: Aktivait includes omega-3 fatty acids, which have anti-inflammatory properties that protect the brain and support overall cognitive health.
These ingredients work together to help maintain your cat’s memory, alertness, and quality of life as they age.
Ipakitine Powder for Kidney Failure - 60g
Ipakitine Powder for Dogs and Cats – Support for Chronic Kidney Function
Ipakitine Powder is a nutritional supplement formulated to support kidney function in dogs and cats suffering from chronic renal insufficiency. It contains a combination of active ingredients that help manage phosphate levels and support metabolic balance, which are essential in the long-term management of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Ipakitine is typically used alongside a renal diet and under veterinary supervision.
Chronic renal insufficiency, also known as chronic kidney disease, is a progressive condition that affects the kidneys' ability to filter waste products and maintain fluid and electrolyte balance. It is particularly common in older cats and dogs, although it can occur at any age due to genetics, infections, or other underlying health conditions. Managing CKD requires a comprehensive approach that includes dietary changes, medications, and supportive supplements such as Ipakitine.
Understanding Chronic Renal Insufficiency in Dogs and Cats
The kidneys perform several vital functions in the body, including removing waste products from the bloodstream, regulating fluid and mineral levels, producing hormones, and helping to maintain blood pressure. In animals with chronic renal insufficiency, kidney function gradually declines over time. As this happens, waste products such as urea and creatinine accumulate in the blood, leading to a variety of clinical symptoms.

Prozinc Insulin for Cats and Dogs - 10ml
Prozinc Insulin for Cats and Dogs
Prozinc Insulin is a vet-prescribed insulin used to manage diabetes mellitus in cats and dogs. Prozinc contains protamine zinc insulin, an intermediate-acting insulin derived from recombinant human insulin. Prozinc is specifically formulated to help regulate blood glucose levels and reduce the symptoms associated with diabetes in pets. Prozinc is most commonly prescribed for cats with diabetes mellitus, but it may also be used in dogs under veterinary direction.
Prozinc helps stabilise glucose levels by mimicking the action of naturally produced insulin in the pancreas. The use of Prozinc requires a vet’s diagnosis and ongoing monitoring to ensure proper dosage and effectiveness.
How Prozinc Insulin Works
Insulin is a hormone that plays a critical role in regulating glucose levels in the bloodstream. In healthy animals, insulin is naturally produced by the pancreas and helps transport glucose from the blood into the body’s cells, where it is used as a source of energy. In diabetic pets, the body either does not produce enough insulin or is unable to use it effectively. This leads to elevated blood glucose levels, which can result in various health complications over time. Prozinc contains protamine zinc recombinant human insulin, designed for a prolonged effect. Once injected subcutaneously, Prozinc gradually releases insulin into the bloodstream, helping to control glucose levels throughout the day. Its intermediate duration of action allows for fewer injections compared to shorter-acting insulins. This makes it a suitable option for ongoing diabetes management in both cats and dogs when prescribed and supervised by a veterinarian. Each dose of Prozinc is tailored to the specific needs of the pet, based on factors such as weight, blood glucose readings, and clinical signs. It is important that pet owners closely follow veterinary instructions and monitor their pet’s condition regularly.

Senvelgo for Cats with Diabetes - 30ml
Senvelgo for Cats - The New Treatment for Diabetes in Cats
30ml Senvelgo for Cats is a prescription-only veterinary medicine (POM-V) that may be prescribed for cats with diabetes. Senvelgo is an oral liquid that is given once daily using a dosing syringe, with the dose and treatment plan set by your Vet. Senvelgo is intended to support long-term control of blood glucose and reduce the clinical signs of diabetes when it is appropriate for your cat.
Diabetes in Cats is a condition where blood glucose (blood sugar) stays too high because the body cannot produce enough insulin, cannot use insulin effectively, or both. Insulin is the hormone that helps glucose move from the blood into the body’s cells to be used for energy. In cats, diabetes is often linked to insulin resistance, where insulin is present but does not work as well as it should. Over time, the pancreas may also become less able to produce enough insulin to meet the body’s needs.
How Senvelgo Works
Senvelgo works in a different way from insulin injections. It acts primarily at the kidneys. When blood passes through the kidneys, glucose is filtered into the urine-forming fluid and is normally reabsorbed back into the bloodstream. Senvelgo reduces this reabsorption by blocking a transporter that moves glucose back into the body. As a result, more glucose leaves the body in the urine, which can lower blood glucose levels. This insulin-independent approach is one reason oral treatment may be considered for some cats, under veterinary guidance.
Because Senvelgo increases the amount of glucose passed in urine, it can also increase the amount of water passed in urine. Increased urination and increased thirst can occur during treatment. Fresh water should always be available. A sudden reduction in drinking, repeated vomiting, significant lethargy, or signs of dehydration need veterinary advice promptly, because dehydration can worsen quickly in diabetic cats.
Suitability for Senvelgo depends on your cat’s overall health and the type and stability of their diabetes. A vet will assess clinical signs, weight and body condition, and test results before recommending a treatment. Oral diabetes medicines are generally considered for cats that are stable and do not have evidence of diabetic ketoacidosis. Diabetic ketoacidosis is a serious emergency where ketones build up in the body and cause dangerous dehydration and acidity. It can occur alongside vomiting, refusal to eat, profound lethargy, weakness, and abnormal or rapid breathing. A vet may recommend a different approach, including insulin and supportive care, if there are ketones present, if the cat is unwell, or if there are other complicating conditions.
Senvelgo is given by mouth. Many owners find it easiest to dose at the same time each day to support a consistent routine. The dosing syringe is usually placed into the side of the mouth, aimed towards the cheek pouch, and the liquid is given slowly to allow swallowing. Your veterinary practice will advise what to do if a dose is missed. A double dose should not be given unless a vet has specifically instructed it. If a cat spits out a dose or vomits soon after dosing, a vet should advise whether any action is needed, because repeating a dose without guidance can increase risk.
Keto-Diastix for Cats – Urine Ketone & Glucose Testing Strips - 50
Keto-Diastix are urine test strips designed to measure ketones and glucose levels. These strips provide a quick and reliable way to monitor ketone production and glucose levels, making them essential for managing conditions such as diabetes mellitus.
Ketones are produced when the body burns fat for energy instead of glucose. High levels of ketones can indicate a serious condition called diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), which requires immediate veterinary attention. Monitoring ketone levels is particularly important for cats undergoing treatment with Senvelgo, a medication used to regulate blood glucose in diabetic cats.
Keto-Diastix is a simple and effective tool to help cat owners and Vets track changes in urine composition. The test strips are designed for easy home use, providing results within seconds. By regularly testing a diabetic cat’s urine, owners can detect early signs of ketone buildup and take the necessary steps to prevent complications.
Porus One Kidney Support for Cats - 30 Sachets
Porus One is an advanced kidney support supplement designed to help maintain healthy kidney function in cats. As cats age, their kidneys can struggle to filter out toxins effectively. This can lead to the build-up of harmful substances in the bloodstream, potentially affecting overall health and wellbeing. Porus One is specially formulated to support the natural elimination of these substances, reducing strain on the kidneys and promoting long-term feline health.
How Porus One Works
Porus One contains Renaltec™, a specially developed carbon-based adsorbent. When a cat consumes food, proteins are broken down into various by-products, some of which may lead to the formation of harmful substances known as uraemic toxins. These toxins can accumulate in the bloodstream and contribute to kidney strain.
Porus One works in the digestive system by selectively binding to specific protein by-products before they can be absorbed into the bloodstream. Once captured, these by-products are safely eliminated through the cat’s faeces, helping to reduce the burden on the kidneys. Unlike some other kidney support products, Porus One does not contain phosphorus, sodium, or protein, making it a safe choice for cats requiring kidney support.
