I really doubt that TOTW in a 15%ish fat form triggered Jackson's pancreatitis because there were so many other things he was getting that are much more likely the culprit. Certain people foods and lots of higher protein things like bully sticks would make me much more nervous than TOTW in a healthy dog.

And you can feed just the right thing and your pup can still get an angry pancreas, so I wouldn't worry too much about kibble triggering it unless it isn't lower fat. Protein also stimulates the pancreas, so JMHO I think it's best to be careful about how much is given. Nobody knows for sure what can set it off...

I'm not a fan of this food, but that could be said about a lot of foods. That said, I wouldn't stop feeding over just pancreas concerns. I'd email the company and ask what their maximum fat % and protein % is in the ones you feed because the minimum % is given.
