Need help finding kibble after pancreatitis

MemberOur Jackaranian will be turning seven this month and he just had his first bout of pancreatitis. He had been slightly overweight at 18 pounds before his illness, but is now back to his ideal 16 pounds. Iāve read that pancreatitis can reoccur, and that it requires a low-fat food. Heās had Halo Spotās Stew Wholesome Chicken Recipe ever since we rescued him at six weeks of age, and the adult formula had 16% fat [min.; 18% DMB]. We had been thinking we could simply continue to feed him a lesser amount of this kibble and supplement with whole foods [he loves fruits and vegetables] to reduce the amount of fat in his diet; on the advice of his vet, this is what we did to get his weight down when he was overweight a few years ago. FYI, he also gets a bit of flax oil almost every day [he and our cat think itās as a treat]. But now Halo has reformulated most of their foods and we canāt buy it any longer due to new allergies; we canāt have anything with fish, seafood, pork, and preferably no chicory. That is making it extremely difficult to find a kibble of good quality which isnāt too expensive for our budget [Halo was already at the top]. Heās always done so well on the Halo ā regular, solid, drier BMs, no gas [only when heās had too much fruit, and then the farts scare him because it happens so rarely! lol], shiny coat, lots of energy, etc. ā the weight gain was usually due to my husband inadvertently over-feeding by rounding over the measuring cup. š Iām positive we wouldnāt have to worry about the mental side of a food switch, since heāll eat just about anything if we let him, though I am worried about how his gut will react to a different food, especially since weāre quickly running out of his supply of Halo. This very site helped us research foods when we had our first dog [whom we had to put down a few years ago due to a brain tumor] ā so weāre hoping that we can find some help again.

ParticipantHi Panya,
I canāt stop laughting, Patch does the same his farts scare him when heās sleeping & he farts he jumps up & runs off my bed lol when his farts are loud, heās the same he doesnāt fart now heās eating the right dietā¦.
Go on Face Book & in the āSearchā bar put āCanine Pancreatitis Support Groupā join then look on your left & click on āFilesā then click on first link āLow Fat Foodsā youāll see all low fat dry & wet tin foods, scroll down look at the wet canned low fat foods, I would be feeding a low fat wet tin food instead of dry kibble or feed low fat wet tin for 1 meal & dry low fat kibble for other mealā¦. Wet canned or cooked diet is heaps better for dogs who have suffered with Pancreatitis as kibble is harder to digest & is higher in carbs, the fat% has been converted in all these wet tin formulaās, the fat % is to your right, the fat % in raw & wet canned food hasnāt been converted to dry matter (Kibble)ā¦.Hills convert their fat % in all their vet diets but the other vet diets brands are not converted, so stay around 1-3% fat in wet tin foods when looking to buy anyā¦
If you still want to feed a dry kibble look at āCanidaeā Pure Meadow Senior, itās low in Fat at 10.80% max, very easy to digest & has all the supplements for an aging dogā¦
always email the pet food companies & get the accurate max fat % & protein % in wet & dry food your thinking of feeding. Iāve already emailed Canidae & got the fat % in the Pure Meadow Senior, itās a really good kibble it has No Prebiotic āChicory Rootā you will see a big improvement in your dogs skin coat & health while eating te Canidae Pure Meadow Senior formula thereās also Pure Resolve weight management but teh Senior has all te supplements to a senior dog & te fat % is the same..
Hereās Canidaeās site scroll down a bit & click on āVIEW ALLā on your left, click on page 3 has the Pure Meadow Senior & Page 5 has the Canidae All Life Stages Platinum Less Active kibble its low fat easying to digest & good for dogs with Pancreatitis. https://www.canidae.com/dog-food/productsanonymous
MemberWhat food does your vet recommend? I would consider prescription food.
Zignature is a quality food, check chewy dot com for ingredients, copy the info and ask your vet if this food would work for your dog.Panya V
MemberHi from almost three years in the future! š
In case anyone sees this and needs to know: We ended up switching him to something that was discontinued shortly thereafter, and now he eats Earthborn Holistic Weight Control Grain-Free kibble. It meets the necessary dietary criteria for us and itās available at local stores so we can just run out to pick some up if needed [the discontinued kind he had before had to be ordered online and we got sick of that pretty quickly]. Now that heās almost 10 years old heās starting to have joint issues so our vet recommended we drop him down to 15 pounds to take some pressure off his joints, and that was super easy to do by just adjusting the amount of kibble per day. I now weigh him and our cat regularly to make sure theyāre staying where they need to be, adjusting if not.
Speaking of the cat⦠Iām actually the one whoās allergic to fish and now the catās food is being discontinued too ā finding fish-free cat food is so much harder than finding fish-free dog food! I donāt know who decided that all cat products had to have fish or fish oil in them, but my swollen lips and itchy, rashy skin donāt appreciate it! š [Both of these pets love to āgive me kissesā all over constantly (theyāre very jealous of each other) thus the need for fish-free food and treats!]
