| My Hugo has dealt with bouts of pancreatitis on and off for years. Lowfat and very low protein. Low protein is the major key here!! I spend alot of money od dogfood now because of this. I only buy high quality food for them and Hugo has never been better!! Science Diet ID is best for pancreatitis, but you have to buy it from your vet. I also feed my dogs Flint River Ranch dry food. Its an excellent dogfood with low protein. Also, another thing with pancreatitis is the vomiting. I keep an antinausea on hand at all times that the vet gave me. This helps alot.. Hope your baby is feeling better!! |

| Very interesting. I would agree. High protein for pancreas compromised dogs is questionable at best per the experts in pancreatitis and canine nutrition. Protein level wasn't something my vet was trained to look at either, but it can in fact be an issue (even moreso than fat sometimes). That doesn't mean they need to drop down to 15% or anything, but very high protein foods should pretty much automatically be on the no list.

| Dogs w/ pancreatitis are usually prescribed Rx foods, such as Purina EN (a low residue, moderate fat, moderate protein diet). Also, fat is not the only trigger for pancreatitis, and any vet that says fat is the only concern would not be touching my dogs.
