| What food for Chronic Pancreatitis? One of my Yorkies, Sioux, was diagnosed with chronic pancreatitis. We have been feeding baby food, rice, and boiled chicken the past couple of weeks, started to reintroduce her kibble, and she had another episode that put her in the hospital for 5 hours on fluids. We feed EVO Turkey and Poultry to all our Yorkies (4), but our vet said it was too much fat and protein for her. She suggested Royal Canine Low Fat, but I want to make sure she is getting high quality food. Any suggestions are appreciated! |

| Your vet is correct, EVO is far too high in fat and protein for a dog with pancreatitis. This is also what is causing the crumbly stools you asked about in your other post. Someone with more experience with pancreatitis can give you suggestions for kibble. If I recall correctly, many people have had to use a prescription low residue diet.

| My vet recommended Royal Canin Gastrointestinal Low Fat for Barney. It's the lowest fat prescription diet on the market. I feed Barney lowfat home cooked meals but am getting the RC for backup.

| On another forum I'm on a lady feeds Honest Kitchen Verve and Zeal (rotation). Did your vet tell you what percent fat you need to stay under? |

| Lotus Chicken + Stella & Chewy Raw works Our 4 year old got pancreatitis in late '09 and our vet suggested finding a food in about the 20%-25% protein and about 12-15% fat range. Lotus chicken worked. He started on the Senior Chicken version first until he recovered from the bout with pancreatitis. We keep those same same ranges for his treats. Now he gets Lotus (25-30 kibbles) with 1/3 small patty of the Stella & Chewy's 2X a day (morning and night); no bones, no rawhide, no bully sticks. He has been fine for well over a year now. He gets Blue buffalo treats and we also have some Paul Newman brand peanut butter treats that are good quality. He also loves steamed carrots, peas, green beans, apples, and he flips over banana. |
