To compare the effect of 15 min of exercise 30 min post-meal on mean blood glucose concentrations in 5 well-conditioned versus 5 over-conditioned dogs. To compare the effect of exercise on glycemic control in dogs eating their maintenance diet as compared to a high carbohydrate meal. Ten healthy staff or student owned dogs, five well- and five over-conditioned. This was a crossover study over 5 days. Continuous glucose monitors (CGM) were placed on day 1. On days 2 and 3, dogs received their maintenance diet and a high carbohydrate meal, respectively and were walked on the treadmill for 15 min following each meal. On day 4, dogs were given their maintenance diet in hospital without treadmill activity. On day 5, the CGM were removed. The mean blood glucose 30 min post-meal, during exercise, 15 min after completing exercise, and the 1–3 h period after completing the exercise were compared to detect any effect of exercise, diet composition, or body condition. Dogs consuming a high carbohydrate meal had a significantly higher mean blood glucose 15 min post-exercise. Mean glucose values at all time points following a high carbohydrate meal were significantly higher than mean glucose values on the non-exercise day. No impact of post-prandial exercise on glucose concentrations were identified in this study, however, the carbohydrate content of the meal impacted post-prandial glycemic responses in healthy dogs regardless of body condition. Evaluating the impact of post-prandial exercise in insulin-dependent or glucose-intolerant dogs is warranted to determine if these findings persist.
