Hi Darcy, I have been doing a lot of reading since our discussion about Pancreatis and I found some interesting studies. The Pancreas' main job is to produce insulin...and the pancreas is GREATLY affected by sugar. They are now saying that fat is not the issue with pacreatis...more the main culprit they are discovering is Lactose...which is basically a sugar obviously found in cows milk..ie cheese...which would make so much sense in your case! The cheese was blamed previously but for it's fat content and come to discover it is the lactose found within the cheese...ie sugar! Thats why so many nutrisionists are against dairy in any form for our dogs! Also a neat side note...both sheep and goats milk do NOT contain lactose...so we can feed goats milk if we wanted to and it wouldn't cause the pancreatic issues!! I found this amazing and really went far to prove to me yet again why I will never go back to kibbles...lots of sugars hidden in there!!! VERRRRY INTERESTING!!! Thought you might find it fun to research too! Hugs In Him, Deanna
