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.
Thank you, lol. You posted before me!
