How Low Fat Dog Food helps with Pancreatitis

Low Fat Dog Food

What should I feed a dog that has had pancreatitis?

A low fat diet which is easy to digest is recommended. We recommend feeding a diet that contains 9% fat or under. Be sure to stick to the correct daily feeding amounts to ensure extra fat is not consumed.

Many people think they are feeding a low fat wet food but because wet foods have a high amount of moisture or water in them you often need to feed 4 times the amount of a wet food than a dry food.

Therefore you need to take this into account before comparing a wet food to other diets as they could be getting more fat in total (for further information into this please see our fact
sheet on comparing wet and dry foods).

Small frequent meals spread throughout the day may be tolerated better by your dog than one or two larger meals.

A low fat diet is essential even if your dog has lost weight due to pancreatitis. It is not advisable to try and ‘feed him up’ after being ill as too much food can overwork the pancreas. If your dog is very thin it is important that you speak to your vet or one of our nutritionists for help.
