| When Cali had one and only pancreareitis attack the lab work was off the charts. Got a lot better each day and a week later was pretty normal. It was believed the treats I was giving her for agility, that were give to me by another agility colleague, were no doubt the cause. But like LadyJane said they really don’t know about that for sure. The specialists however said that their mantra was once they pup has an attack then they stay on the prescription food for life. The feeling being another attack is not worth the risk and the damage/inflammation that each attack causes is not worth the risk. LadyJane may be able to speak to this more. Since she has more experience with it. Cali was less than satisfied with the food but we have found way to to deal with it like dehydrated lean chicken granules in the kibble. She likes the kibbles better than the wet food (which really really smells awful and can get stuck in her full coat mustache). I use the Royal Canin prescrition kibble for regular means and the Hill prescription kiblble for treats ( don’t tell her they aren’t really treats) You can get both from Chewys or the vet. Anyway on this schedule her lab work is normal and I hope to never go through that flare again! Thanks goodness for pet insurance what with ICU and all. But she was a pathetic little think while she as in the hospital. Never want that to happen to her again.

| I had him on royal canine then switched to blue buffalo. He's been on that for at least a year. I'm thinking i might go back to royal canine. Ill need to figure which one of the royal canines will be best. |

| You might want to go with their RX gastro diet just to be on the safe side. I would suggest speaking with your vet about it...see what his thoughts are.

| I have her on the Royal Canin ID diet, not the regular. Trying to keep,the fat content low as that stimulates the pancreas.

| P I was feeding my boy on Blue Buffalo kibble some weeks before he got P and he got sick, so I changed to Wellness. He did not improve, so after the vet visit and the P diagnosis, I wonder if both foods were too high in fat? Also BB has had some health issues recently. Although the ingredients seemed good, I felt the BB quality control was not good as my dog first got sick after I opened a new bag. I must say I have found the quality control from bag to bag is very good for the Hills ID. Luckily my dog loves the ID after eating it for years, so why change? |

YT 2000 Club Member | Dog food My vet said to keep my yorkies on a low fat diet. No fat higher than 9%. So they eat wet hills id. I looking at the new hills Natural low fat id. So much better than that other stuff. This is a dry kibble. I've been feeding life's abundance with a 16% fat. Jojo doesn't like it. I better change that food, listen to the vet and go get that $40 bag of food. Alot cheaper than a bout of pancreatitus. Do you agree with me, lady Jane, love to dream. You love yorkies and I respect your opinions. Last edited by sandy simpson; 12-09-2017 at 03:54 PM. |

| P Although the prescription Hills is fairly expensive, I find an 8 pound bag lasts over two months for my ten pound dog, so it isn't that bad. Thanks for the info re the hills natural, I will look at it. But I am a little scared to change anything as the prescription ID is working so well. |

| I have been dealing with pancreatitis with one of mine recently. He has a history but it was years ago. I now have him on Hill's ID low fat. One of my fosters is on it and doing really well. I would only use that or Royal Canin Gastro diet for a pup with pancreatitis.
