Our 4 year old male developed pancreatitis about a year and a half ago. As a result we have to watch his diet to make sure it is fairly low fat and not too high in protein. We had been feeding him BG Salmon which he liked (he didn't like the other flavors). Then we switched to Stella & Chewy raw chicken. He loved it and thrived on it but it was pricey. But, his caot was shiny and he stopped getting the tears/eye gook.

When the pancreatitis hit, our vet recommended using a Senior Dog kibble because they are generally lower in fat/protein. We used Lotus Senior Chicken which he liked. Then when we were able to go back to regular food, we tried Eukanuba but he wouldn't eat it. We tried Great Balance which he liked at first but then stopped eating. So we gave him Lotus Chicken which he liked; then after a while we started mixing in the Stella & Chewy's again. So for that last year or so he gets 30 kibbles and a 1/3 patty of the raw and has done well.
