About 3 months after pancreatic recovery, when the dog is stable, you can gradually switch its food from low-fat prescription diet to normal food.
After recovery, feed low-fat prescription food as the vet advises to keep the diet low in fat and oil. In the early recovery phase, feed on a fixed schedule in small, frequent meals to avoid burdening pancreatic secretion.
Never let the dog overeat, since binge eating raises pancreatic pressure and the relapse rate of pancreatitis.
