Hi Neezefan, it probably was the fat% too high, the fat in the Duck wet is 7% fat, the lowest fat in the Wellness Simple wet is the Salmon & Potato at 5%….when converted at 5% fat that’s 22% fat if it was a kibble, too high for dogs with diarrhea,Pancreatitis EPI etc…I cant feed Patch any tin wet foods as they are all to high in fat %, but the Simple Duck & Oatmeal kibble so far has been the best, it breaks up very easy, so easier for them to digest, like the Low Residue Intestinal kibble.. If ur dogs has EPI he’ll need to be on a very low fat diet & low fiber diet…best is to home cooked, Ive been giving Patch a small tin of Tuna in spring water, I drain the water & add some pumkin, I had him on boiled chicken & pumkin for breakfast but he was still having his stomach pain with the boiled chicken breast now he’s getting the Tuna in spring water drained he’s not whinging after breakfast no more…so the boiled chicken breast must have more fat then the tin tuna, I want to try the pink salmon next cause its higher in omega 3 then tuna but the salmon felt very greezy, I know salmon has a good fat & is a digestable fat but Im a bit scared to try just yet..I havent had no diarrhea since last December when I tried a new grain free kibble the fat was too high at 15% & it had potatos.. Potatos make a kibble very hard & Patch cant digest it properly… I didnt know back in December that the fat was giving him the runs, I kept thinking he needed a lower fiber diet, dogs with EPI need a low fat & low fiber diet..
