My two other boys eat 11% fat and have no pancreatitis histories. I think the breed is just prone to these digestive upsets and you won't really go wrong going lower fat but could go wrong with higher. Just my thoughts. Best wishes for you and Pnut.  |
Thanks for the input! I agree with the Acana! I think 17% in fat is too high for him. Wow 3% I honestly don't want another scare like this. I am going to do my hardest to make sure it doesnt happen!! Once is enough for me. Which furbaby is this that is on the 3% You homecook for him or do you have him on a dry food?
