#23 The Pancreatitis Myth: Why It Isn't All About Fat
Description
Pancreatitis is one of those diagnoses that instantly makes pet parents panic, rightfully so because it can be painful for their pets. And almost always leads to the same advice: "No more fat."
But what if fat isn't actually the enemy?
In this episode I, The Non-Traditional Veterinarian, breaks down what pancreatitis really is, why it's often misunderstood, and how the traditional, carb-heavy diets many dogs eat every day may be setting the stage for inflammation and digestive imbalance long before that "fatty treat" ever enters the picture.
You'll learn how to look beyond the surface, understand the bigger picture of gut and liver health, and rethink what "low-fat" really means for your dog's wellbeing.
Because sometimes, it's not the fat that's the problem, it's the foundation.
