FAQ

What causes inflammation of the pancreas in dogs?

Pancreatitis in dogs can be caused by unusually fatty food, sudden dietary changes, medications, or other illnesses. Chronic pancreatitis in dogs may develop slowly over time.

How long does pancreatitis last in dogs?

Acute pancreatitis in dogs usually lasts from a few days to a couple of weeks, provided treatment begins promptly and the dog responds well to care. Chronic pancreatitis, on the other hand, is a long-term condition that requires ongoing treatment and a special diet. Recovery time and prognosis depend on the severity of the inflammation, the dog’s overall condition, and any other concurrent diseases.

Is pancreatitis dangerous for dogs?

Yes, pancreatitis in dogs can be serious and even life-threatening, especially if not treated in time. Acute inflammation can cause severe pain, dehydration, and systemic inflammation. Chronic pancreatitis can lead to permanent damage and requires lifelong care. However, with prompt veterinary treatment and the right diet, the prognosis can be good.

What are the symptoms of pancreatitis in dogs?

Symptoms of pancreatitis in dogs often include vomiting, diarrhea, reduced appetite, abdominal pain, lethargy, and sometimes fever. The dog may also appear restless, withdrawn, or show tenderness in the abdomen. Elevated lipase levels in blood tests often indicate inflammation. Symptoms can range from mild to acute and severe, so a veterinary examination is always necessary.

Special Diet to Support Dogs with Pancreatic Disease

Pancreatic diseases in dogs can be serious and require careful care – the right diet often plays a crucial role in recovery and symptom management. Specially formulated foods support pancreatic function, reduce digestive strain, and help the dog feel better.

Acute Pancreatitis and Chronic Pancreatitis – What Should You Know?

Pancreatitis in dogs can be either acute or chronic. Acute pancreatitis occurs suddenly and requires prompt veterinary care. Chronic pancreatitis develops gradually and can cause recurring symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite, or abdominal pain. Both forms require a carefully composed diet where easily digestible composition and balanced nutrients are essential. In cases of acute pancreatitis, it is particularly important that the food has a very low fat content.

How Does Special Food Support Pancreatic Health?

Special diets developed for dogs with pancreatic disease usually contain:

- Easily digestible proteins and carbohydrates, which reduce the strain on the digestive system- Very low fat content, which is crucial for soothing the pancreas during acute inflammation- Added nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants, which reduce inflammation and promote gut health
