How To Recognize and Treat Pancreatitis in Dogs
6. The Risk Factors
While any dog can get pancreatitis, some dogs are more prone to it than others. Overweight dogs tend to get it more often, as do older dogs. Female dogs are somewhat more likely to get it than male dogs. Certain breeds also have a high rate of pancreatitis. These include miniature schnauzers, miniature poodles, and cocker spaniels. Dogs with hypothyroidism or other endocrine disorders are also more likely to get it.
