RC GI discontinued - best food for pancreatitis? Hi, we just learned that Royal Canin is discontinuing their GI food. Cooper is 10 yrs old and had a severe attack of pancreatitis about 3 years ago; he's been on RC GI ever since. I don't want to mess with him by trying a lot of new brands; what do you guys suggest? I've read good things about Fromm, Acana, Honest Kitchen…? Or Hill's rx? I need something low in fat and, I guess, higher in protein than carbs? There's way more info about dog nutrition than I would've guessed! Thanks!!! |
dog I hope you can find the right dog food. My Spud will need a diet for pancreatitis. Right now all he eats is tilapia and quinoa. After all his meds are done and he is ok he will need a good food. |

RC GI was the lowest fat food on the market. I would home cook. |
I have one of my pups who had an epidode of pancreatitis on Hill's I/D...he was on Hill's I/D low fat but he was not maintaining ideal body weight. So far he is great on the regular I/D. |
FYI: I contacted Royal Canin for an explanation.....received this from them..... "Good morning Judy, Thank you for contacting Royal Canin, we appreciate your inquiry. I am happy to report that we are NOT discontinuing the GI line of food. Please let us know if you need further assistance. Warm regards, Technical Services Veterinary Technician Tel: 800-592-6687 E-Fax: 636-926-3859 Email: info.usa@royalcanin.com " Perhaps you may want to contact them yourself about what you were told and who told you that. |
solid gold has a good low fat food 6%, holistique blend |
I just bought a case of RC Gastro Low fat yesterday. It's not discontinued. |
Is this good for liver issues too? |
Since RC is precription you should call your vet and ask. Maybe they make something for the liver. |
Royal canine is prescription? They want to sell her on Science Diet....that gave her problems a few years ago...is the problem... |

My girl has pancreatitis, IBS and HGE. She was eating Hills's i/d kibble and canned until her allergies flared up. She did well except for the itchies. Vet and nutritionist felt that she needed to be on Hill's z/d. The itchies are gone and and she is feeling great! |
That's great to hear Quote:

pancreatitis Help! My Spud is suffering from pancreatitis. I have spent over $1,000 and the vet has him eating quinoa, tilapia, tuna in water, can have sweet potato, . Well he really does not like this stuff. He is being picky. He is on cerenia for nausea and prednisolone. He has lost quite a bit of weight, down to 6.9lbs. Anyone have any advice for me to help Spud? I would so appreciate it. |
A lot of us feed rx Royal Canine Gastro Low Fat. Either canned or kibble. My Zoey eats both - not together but at different times because she gets tired eating the same thing but after three episodes it's RC only. |

Speaking from personal experience my Zoey needed it and ate it for 2 months. It really did bring her out of her bad spell . |
pumpkin helps nausea |
My little one eats ( only!) ( no meat,bones,etc) purena H A. It's prescription only, amazing. |
dog I am waiting for the vet to call about Spud's blood panel. He is not eating his fish. I cooked pinto beans, no eating that, got tuna, sweet potato, no he will eat a small bite of apple, no on the quinoa. I wonder if he is heading to dog heaven. He is only 6 lbs and 10yrs old. Please say a prayer for me as I cry easy and am so upset inside over this. I know the Lord owns all our babies and when He calls we have to let go. It is so hard to get to that point. Surrender and hand them over to HIm. |
dog I so appreciate all your advice on what to do with pancreatitis and the diet. The food is not tasty yet he is not feeling well. I am praying that my little bud will be with us for a while longer-it is up to the Lord Who knows the number of our days and our precious Yorkie days too. |

dog I am home from the vet. She gave me the z hills diet and Spud ate it. She also said possible kidney failure. We hydrated him and will see how he does. I am praying that this diet will help Spud get better and his kidneys will function well again. Please pray for him. He is the sweetest and so good with everyone. |

My Gizmo has also had pancreatitis a few times and has been on Hill I/D low fat since last year. He tends to get bored with it sometimes so I have switched from time to time to RC gastro. Recently he wasn't feeling well (vomiting and diarrhea) and wasn't really eating so his doctor said to add in Hills Z/D. He also said I could give him puree carrots and peas (baby food) and Gizmo loved it! He's back to eating just the I/D but I still have the Z/D that I can add in if I have to. Also, since last year when he went on the I/D he's had belly gurgles. I know they say that I/D slows the intestinal tract. The doctor wants to do a biopsy to make sure it isn't IBS. He takes simethicone twice a day but his belly still gurgles. I'd rather try a different food before doing a biopsy. Are there any suggestions? He also has some liver issues but that has been under control, thank God! |
food My Spud had a really bad attack of pancreatitis. Now he is eating zd hills diet and is doing well. He likes it and eats it all up. I go back to the vet for more blood checks and the vet said he can stay on this food if he is doing well. |
