30 days of bland diet for dog's pancreas inflammation

Thanks for reaching out about your dog's pancreas inflammation. I'm sorry to hear your furry friend is dealing with this. Let’s talk about a bland diet and how it can help.



Pancreatitis, or inflammation of the pancreas, is often related to diet, particularly high-fat foods, which can trigger an episode. A bland diet is low in fat and easy to digest, providing your dog’s pancreas time to heal without being overworked.



Common causes of pancreatitis could be recent fatty treats, table scraps, or a sudden diet change. Keeping a consistent, appropriate diet is crucial. Some safe at-home diet options include boiled chicken or turkey (without skin or bones) and rice or sweet potatoes in small, frequent meals. Ensure your dog stays hydrated, as water helps prevent additional stress on the pancreas.



Watch for signs like vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain (your dog might hunch over), or lethargy. If these symptoms persist or worsen, it’s essential to seek veterinary attention as serious cases can lead to complications.
