There is also a pure dehydrated chicken breast treat called Pure Bites, and I fed that for a while...but it is very expensive, and he did not like that as much as the liver chews.
The prescription low fat kibble is really low fat, from 5-9 % fat, whereas most regular kibble has much more than that. If the dog has a sensitive pancreas the trigger could well be the relatively high fat content in good quality regular kibble.
It is hard to find any food other than the prescription that has such a low fat content.
I wonder if you, or any other mom with a P sensitive dog, have noticed the added hunger in their dogs? The low fat diet is not very satisfying and I have found my dog is always hungry! Tough to keep the weight down.  |
Can you add coconut oil to the food to make it more satisfying? I have read that coconut is okay in small amounts for pancreatitis, but have never checked with a vet. Maybe you have already asked your vet?
