Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! Probiotics won't hurt, but are more for small intestinal and colonic disease. They help replace the gut flora (bacteria) with beneficial bacteria. It won't hurt to try! I hope this helps!

Littlebit is a cutie! Royal Canin diets are very high quality diets that are backed with extensive analysis and feeding clinical studies. Meat byproducts, corn meal and beat pulp are not the root of all evil, as many blogs and articles written by non-medical professionals like to claim. :-) In general, brands that I recommend include Royal Canin, Science Diet and Purina ProPlan due to the appropriate testing and controlled studies involving these diets. Take your vet's recommendation - Royal Canin canned foods (I assume the low fat?) can be quite helpful in managing chronic pancreatitis. You can also discuss low fat prescription diets by Science Diet and Purina with your vet to see if your dogs would be wiling to eat this kibbles, if that is your preference. I hope that all goes well!

Hello, sorry to hear about Capone. Yes there are protein supplements that can be added to food, however, these are typically better formulated by a nutritionist. Additionally, his weight loss may not be from the food itself but more so from his chronic pancreatitis or this could be signs that there is something else going on with him. If his weight loss continues, he may need to have more extensive diagnostics to look for evidence of other diseases. With chronic pancreatitis, he could eventually develop a deficiency in pancreatic enzymes that help digest food, and he may actually not be absorbing all of the nutrients in his diet. Talk with your veterinarian about testing for exocrine pancreas insufficiency (EPI) and consulting with a nutritionist. Hope this helps and best of luck.

Thanks for using Boop by Petco. I’m so sorry Savannah has not been feeling well. The ideal food for pancreatitis is something low fat, but the most inportant thing is keeping her eating so if she’ll eat S/O and chicken, that’s ok for a while. (When she’s feeling better, do try and get her on the low fat food if you can.) As for the hacking, it almost sounds like there might be something going on with her throat or esophagus. If she had alot of vomiting, she could have irritation to the esophagus that sets off the coughing. Talk to your vet about trying something like famotidine (Pepcid AC) for this. Otherwise, it could be collapsing trachea or even some sort of mass in the throat. Consider taking X-rays of the the neck and throat or weight the pros and cons of a sedated laryngeal exam (may not be a safe option at her age). Best wishes to you and Savannah!

Thank you for using Boop by Petco! Depending on the cause of Lok's pancreatitis, the enzymes may be helpful. If the pancreatitis is due to some sort of dietary indiscretion, such as a high fat meal, then the enzymes are likely not necessary. However, if the condition is due to a pancreatic insufficiency, then enzymes may be appropriate. I hope this helps and am happy to answer any other questions you may have!
