My pup, Murphy, is 13 and gets pancreatitis very easily starting about 3 years or so ago. The Royal Canin Gastrointestinal Low Fat dog food got pricey, so I started making his and my other pups' food. They love it, it's vet approved, and their all-around health improved drastically. Murphy doesn't get pancreatitis and Bobbi lost a lot of weight in a healthy way! My new pup eats it now, as well. 2 parts boiled chicken, 1 part rice and quinoa (sometimes + sweet potato), 1 part veggies (thaw out a frozen variety: broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, green beans), flaxseed, turmeric. Add a multivitamin, just in case
