Pancreatitis is almost 50% more commonly found in cats and dogs than in humans (most likely due to ultra-processed foods). Acute and chronic pancreatitis are dynamic inflammatory processes. Immune cells play a critical role in pancreatitis and understanding the process your pet is going through is integral to an effective plan.

Pancreatitis is often considered in isolation to digestive issues or bowel disease, however, it is closely related to digestion and liver function. Leaky gut is linked to many disease states and closely correlated to a lowered gut immunity in pancreatitis. Gut integrity can become compromised by inappropriate foods, food intolerances, allergens, poor microbiota, dysbiosis, parasites, toxins and so much more.

Whilst at the beginning of treatment we consider an appropriate fresh, low-fat diet, there are many fresh foods and supplements that can be given, that defy the conventional method of a solely bland and fat-free diet.
