Best Petco treats for dogs with pancreatitis

Nov 17, 2020 · Courtnye

I searched through the treats at a local Petco in search of treats for my little guy with pancreatitis and chose the best ones that I could find

The scale takes into account added salts, unnatural preservatives, and fat content. I rated the treats on a scale from 5-20, with 20 being the best treats for dogs with pancreatitis.

These are the things I took into account

  • Limited Ingredients: I took into account the number of ingredients in the treats as many times it is advised to feed a limited ingredient diet to dogs with pancreatitis
  • Fat level: The fat levels ranged from 0.5%-40% minimum fat, meaning this is the least amount of fat in the treats (maximums are not available).
  • Added salt and sugar
  • Unnatural preservatives: While many included tocopherols and other natural preservatives

10. Orijen Dog Treats Freeze Dried Treats

Orijen freeze dried treats

Orijen received a 5 on my chart because of the high amount of fat in the treats (40% minimum). They also have 15 ingredients the majority of which are animal parts such as beef and goat liver, tripe, and wild boar. I would bypass these if you have a pup with pancreatitis for treats with lower fat content.

9. Zukes Mini Naturals Salmon Recipe

Zukes Mini Naturals Salmon

Due to the number of ingredients and the fact that there is salt in the formulation these particular Zuke’s treats received a 5 on our scale for treats good for dogs with pancreatitis. While it does have a very low-fat minimum of 6% it has 21 total ingredients and salt which is far from a limited ingredient treat.

These treats received a 6 on the scale since they have 11 ingredients and over the advised fat minimum for dogs with pancreatitis of 18%. They also have cultured skim milk in the ingredients.

Due to the low-fat minimum of 1% these would make a great option for dogs that have pancreatitis and joint or arthritis issues. However keep in mind that salt is one of the ingredients, for this reason, the treats received a nine on our scale.
