Protein is the most expensive ingredient in any food, whether for pets or people. Protein â especially good quality protein from muscle meat â is the most costly part of a meal and therefore, savvy pet owners have learned to seek out high protein pet foods, believing those foods are the best.f there is a high percentage of crude protein on a dog food label we might assume it indicates high quality protein, and top notch food â but if we really understood what those two words mean, we would think about it differently when choosing a dog food for our tail-wagging family members.
Edit. Normal blood glucose values for non-diabetic cats and dogs range from 80-150 as measured on a vet's glucometer. Home glucometers used on animals tend to read a bit lower in the below-100 ranges, (reasons not yet understood), and so will frequently show lower numbers (see chart above) that are not cause for alarm.
Blood sugar levels indicate the amount of sugar or glucose absorbed into the bloodstream. Blood sugar levels that are either too high or too low can cause death. Diabetics and those with certain conditions such as hypoglycemia must maintain their blood sugar levels and monitor them closely. The normal blood sugar range is 70 to 100. A diabetic can have a level of 60 to 120 and still feel fine. A fatally high blood sugar level is anything above 550. It's possible for an adult to reach even higher levels before exhibiting any symptoms or problems. When the level reaches 600, the person develops hyperosmolar syndrome, which can cause diabetic coma and death.
