Dog Pancreitits, need help with prevention, at my wits end.?

I have a dog with pancreatitis and because I refused to feed him the garbage prescription food that vets sell, I went to a dog nutritionist. He hasn't had a single flare-up since, and that's been just over a year now.

The nutritionist highly recommended the following (all of which I'm doing):

His food is NOW Senior food, made by Petcurean, the maker of Wellness. Its a grain free food and very high quality.

He gets fish oil with natural vitamin E every day - 775 pg EPA, 520 mp DHA (he's a 57 pound dog)

Also, probiotics are NOW Brand, acidophilus 4 x 6 powder

B-complex vitamin - because it helps in cell metabolism, enhances immune and nervous functions, helps healthy skin and muscle tone.

Lecithin granules because they help the body process fat.

I don't see how an allergy shot could be affecting your dog, but that's a question you might want to ask your vet if you're concerned.

I have never had any luck with so called prescription diets. In fact, my mother's cat nearly died on it because the vet blindly prescribed this food without bothering to test for allergies, and the food (Science Diet) contained corn and grains which the cat was horribly allergic to. We did some research and put the cat on a grain-free diet instead, and he has not had any more problems in close to 10 years. So don't assume that these diets will actually fix the problem, they mostly just make more money for the vets.

My boys both have chronic pancreatitis, one worse than the other. The best tip I ever found was not to give them anything that contained more than 10% fat. I currently use raw food (chicken) that contains 9%. I do know that Wellness Core Weight Management contains 10%, and my dogs have eaten that safely. I do not give any treats. I do not feed any grains. For chew treats, you never want to use hooves, pig ears, or raw hides as they can all be very greasy. Cow ears are safe, and so are bully sticks. Those are the only things I let my boys have. I also give them digestive enzyme powder, and during flare ups (which thankfully haven't happened in years thanks to this diet plan) I gave them raw beef pancreas. It can be difficult to find, but it's worth it as it contains natural live digestive enzymes that boost the pancreatic function when the dogs eat it.

Stress also contributes to flareups, so try to keep her on a regular schedule and minimize stressful trips or activities.

I actually do not suppose that she is re-homeable. Some puppies are simply simple difficult paintings, or do not need first-class personalities. It is also feasible so that you can sponser her maintain at a no kill safe haven. That means you would not consider responsible. What concerns me is that she runs away always. If it have been simply the aggression, or the looking, the ones matters are fixable if the puppy accepts you as % chief. But your puppy does not. It is also that she was once remoted from folks as a doggy so wasn't adequately socialised with folks , and would actually have a dominant and aloof persona. Those don't seem to be well puppy features. No farmer desires a puppy that hunts. Farmers maintain farm animals in the ones large open fields. I detect that the reply that endorse euthanasia received a thumbs down; good the truth is that the RSPCA by myself destroys over 2000 puppies each and every week when you consider that the houses simply don't seem to be there. Only you'll be able to make this choice. You both maintain her and check out one other instructor, otherwise you go away her at a puppy house, otherwise you euthanase her. Whatever making a decision, high-quality of good fortune, and do not consider unhealthy. You do not want any person elses permission, and we can not see the puppy to make a reasonable evaluation.

My dog takes Denamarin which really helps him a lot. We only give it to him when he really needs it tho. Ask your veteranarian about it.

Go to a canine nutritionist.
