How To Recognize and Treat Pancreatitis in Dogs

7. Preventing Pancreatitis

One of the best ways to avoid pancreatitis is to keep your dog fit and at a healthy weight as obesity is one of the biggest risk factors for the disease. In addition, avoid feeding your dog fatty foods. Veterinarians tend to see a large increase in pancreatitis cases during the holidays when people share human treats with their pets. Stick to treats designed for dogs, and be sure to keep trash containing fatty or greasy foods out of your dog's reach.
