To prevent pancreatitis in dogs, pay attention to fat intake

Most cases of pancreatitis have a poor prognosis, so we should try to avoid the causes of acute pancreatitis and reduce the feeding of high-fat foods. Take good care of the babies at home, don’t feed us random food, and hold the lifeline in your hands when you go out to avoid accidents.
In terms of diet, you must first pay attention to fat intake. Dogs with suspected symptoms or mild symptoms of pancreatitis should be fed low-fat and high-protein foods. Chicken is a very high-quality choice. Others such as pork and beef are high in fat. Meat is not recommended (healthy dogs can).
For dogs without pancreatitis, you should also pay attention to prevention in daily life. Human meals are not only too salty for dogs, but also high in fat. Regular consumption not only easily leads to pancreatitis, but also causes pancreatitis. It can also easily lead to kidney and urinary system diseases.
The relationship between dry dog ​​food and pancreatitis is unclear. It would be best if you can make nutritionally balanced homemade fresh food, but if you can't, it is still recommended to use dog food in your daily diet. Mainly (purchase no less than 10 yuan per pound).
In addition, regulating the dog's gastrointestinal tract and eating regularly can reduce the occurrence of gastrointestinal diseases, which can largely avoid the occurrence of pancreatitis.
Dogs with a history of pancreatitis will have more taboos, but it doesn’t mean they can’t eat all snacks. There are many snacks to choose from in the pet doctor and store, which are low-fat, healthy and promote digestion. You can eat it with confidence. Dogs who have not suffered from pancreatitis should also try to choose such low-fat snacks.
To summarize: low fat, high protein, pay attention to your dog’s energy consumption and keep exercising.

Pancreatitis is related to dog breeds

Pancreatitis can occur in dogs of any breed. According to literature reports, some dog breeds have a higher incidence rate. Such as German hounds, poodles (Teddy, Bichon Frize, etc.), miniature schnauzers, Yorkshire terriers, cocker spaniels, fox terriers, sled dogs (Samoyed, Alaska), King Charles spaniels, Boxer dogs, border collies, etc.
Different countries have great differences in breeding breeds, so the literature reports that the susceptible breeds are also different. For example, acute pancreatitis is more common in miniature schnauzers and Yorkshire terriers; chronic pancreatitis is more likely to occur in toy dogs, dog breeds with little exercise, and terriers, such as English Cocker Spaniels, King Charles Spaniels, Boxers, and Border Collies.
Pancreatitis has a certain relationship with genetics, such as Miniature Schnauzers, Yorkshire Terriers, etc.
Dogs that exercise less, toy dogs and terriers, as well as English Cocker Spaniels, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Boxers, and Border Collies are at higher risk.

Spot check of dog pancreatitis cases

The 45 cases of dog pancreatitis cases in Beijing were investigated and the breeds were different from those reported in the literature. This has a certain relationship with the prevalence of domestic breeds. at present,The most popular breeds in the country are Teddy, Bichon Frize, Pomeranian, Pastoral Dog, Mixed Breed Dog, Golden Retriever, Labrador, Malamute, etc. Combined with the restrictions on dog-raising policies in Beijing’s urban areas, the breeds sampled in this survey have certain particularities.
Breeds such as boxer dogs and King Charles spaniels did not appear in this survey. The number of these two dogs in China is relatively low.
The highest incidence rates are Teddy, Shiba Inu, Pomeranian and Yorkshire Terrier. The current population of Teddy dogs in China is very high. Because of their small size, non-shedding, cute and sweet appearance, and intelligence, they are loved by the majority of pet owners. In clinical diagnosis and treatment, the author found that most Teddy dogs are picky eaters, that is, they "don't like anything without meat." Unscientific diet is another reason for the high number of Teddy cases.
