Abstract

Abstract Sodium glucose transporter type 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have been introduced into human medicine where their beneficial effects go beyond the expected improvement in blood glucose control. These drugs appear to prevent progression of both cardiovascular and kidney diseases, not only in diabetic but also in non-diabetic human patients. As these drugs have received conditional approval for use in diabetic cats and are being used in other veterinary species, the intriguing question as to whether they will have similar cardioprotective and nephroprotective effects in dogs and cats is being asked. The primary mechanism(s) by which SGLT2 inhibitors are cardio- and nephroprotective remain to be fully characterized. This paper reviews these suggested mechanisms in the context of the pathophysiology of progressive cardiovascular and kidney diseases in dogs and cats with the goal of predicting which categories of non-diabetic veterinary patients these drugs might be of most benefit.
