It's essential to select easily digestible, low-fat dog foods to reduce the strain on his pancreas. Prescription diets specially formulated for pancreatitis may be helpful, as they are designed to balance nutrients and minimize fat intake. Always avoid feeding him table scraps or treats that contain high fat, as these could exacerbate his condition.
