Pancreatitis is one of the conditions I see most often in sensitive dogs, and it can be a frightening diagnosis for parents. The sudden vomiting, abdominal pain, and sometimes even emergency hospital stays make it a condition that leaves lasting anxiety in families.
Most people know that low-fat food is essential for managing pancreatitis, and that’s true. Fat is the single biggest trigger because it demands so much work from the pancreas. But focusing only on fat misses the bigger picture. Recovery from pancreatitis isn’t just about what we remove; it’s about what we add back in to calm inflammation, repair tissue, and give the body strength to heal.
