Below is a list of foods that some EPI dogs are doing well on. This list was compiled from our members over the course of many years. Epi4Dogs is not endorsing any of these foods and you should consult your veterinarian about what food is right for your EPI dog. There are many others on the market that will also work. This list is for reference only. Remember that dog food ingredients may change over time. Please note some of these have had recalls, others have not. 

What to feed your EPI dog……

Dry  or  Canned Commercial Food

Finding the right diet for an EPI dog can be very confusing .. especially for the newly diagnosed EPI dog owner (and for the dog too!) but a lot of good EPI management comes about via trial and error with each individual EPI dog.

Susan’s beloved ButterBean…..

Anderson’s beloved “BonBon”

…trying to decide if he wants fish or bison…….

….is exhausting!!!

The body is such a cohesive machine, that once one aspect is not working properly (such as a lack of nutrient absorption) that it can trigger a multitude of other dysfunctions, whether genetically or environmentally.  For example, a lot of people ask about fat.

Previously… we suggested that the easiest way to address the fat content is when the dog is initially diagnosed with EPI restrict the fiber content to 4% AND restrict the fat content to 12% (temporarily)…. and then once the dog is producing good poops and has been for a few weeks…. try to slowly increase the fat content in the meal. If the poops remain normal, you most likely can feed your EPI dog normal or almost normal amounts of fat as long as the dog is receiving the enzymes.

However….. now the recommendation is ….to start with fiber restriction as stated above, but to feed normal amounts of fat that is in any dog food….If diarrhea occurs and other EPI causes have been ruled out, then try a reduced fat diet because you might be dealing with EPI + another concurrent condition that needs the fat restricted diet (Sometimes dogs with IBD cannot handle a lot of fat, or dogs with Diabetes or dogs that developed EPI from end stage Chronic Pancreatitis).  If you have to restrict the fat intake….try to supplement the diet with coconut oil and/or salmon or krill oil as these are medium chain triglycerides, digested differently from long chain fats that is in animal fats and easier to digest. Bodies do need fat, but sometimes you have to be careful what type of fat is given, especially if there is also a concurrent condition.  With an EPI dog, it is usually (but not always!) the fiber content that when low, the dog does better . If using commercial foods…try using foods with 4% or less fiber content.

In the end, these ratio’s are just suggestions and should be adjusted to your individual dog’s tolerance (determined by the firmness and color of their stool). After using this as a guideline, you will discover over time if your dog can tolerate higher or lower percentages of fiber and/or fat/ chicken/no chicken/peas / no peas…………. keep a journal, as it just might save your sanity!!!!  

Once you understand the fat and fiber content of foods…. when first starting to manage your EPI dog…. if using commercial food, it is probably best to start with a low fiber content food located in the grain-free food section (although the term grain-free is a misnomer!) Please ALWAYS read the actual ingredients, no matter what the label claims. There are many low fiber content foods on the market now (some listed below to give you an idea).   Start with a guideline of trying foods with 4% or less of fiber content noted in the ingredients- -keep a journal, watch the results (poo). Observe the frequency, volume, texture and color or the poo.  Use this as your starting point and adjust accordingly from here.

If using dry kibble or canned food, start with foods made with potato (sweet) or tapioca as they appear to work better with most, although not all, EPI dogs.

1/2 to 1 teaspoon of canned pumpkin is usually good to add to the food for EPI dogs, especially if the grain free does not seem to be working as well as you think it should… it might mean that your dog needs a little bit of the right kind of fiber and pumpkin is a good fiber to start with.

If you decide to feed raw food or home-prepared food be sure to include (1) bone or bone meal and (2) a quality dog vitamin to make sure you cover the dog’s vitamin and mineral requirements. (FYI, i personally use UPCO porcine bone meal, purchased on-line from Amazon.com for approximately $12 for one pound of bone meal. For vitamins, i use VetriScience Canine Plus…. however… there are many other good bone meal and quality dog vitamins besides what i personally use).

As you are probably beginning to gather… there is no perfect diet for all EPI dogs.  And yet, finding the right diet seems to be one of the 4 cornerstones of effectively managing EPI.

FYI… Automatically withholding fat because the dog has EPI, or withholding fat from any dog for that matter, without necessity may be detrimental to the dog’s overall well-being, from skin condition to properly maintaining body and brain functions. per EPI: Diagnosis & Treatment by J Enrique Domínguez-Muñoz, pub Feb 16, 2011“  “…it was demonstrated in an experimental model of pancreatic exocrine insufficiency in dogs that fat digestion and absorption was higher when enzyme supplements were taken together with a high-fat diet compared with a low-fat diet.¹⁰ As a consequence, fat restriction should no longer be considered as a rule in the management of patients with pancreatic exocrine insufficiency.“ This is why one should, after a time on the pancreatic replacements enzymes, try to determine what your dog’s fat tolerance is – – how much fat your EPI dog can actually handle.

January 2016 – Revised list …This huge undertaking was researched and created by Susan (ButterBean’s mom)… thank you Susan !!!! 

This section is broken down into the following categories:

Some grain free (or minimal grain) products available (but not limited to) are the following.
Please Note:  A secondary component of legumes may inhibit digestion and absorption of nutrients.

PRESCRIPTION FOODS

Some EPI Dogs do not do well on commercial grain free foods but yet have done well on certain prescription diets (need a prescription from the vet)…

Trying to find the right diet for an EPI dog is much trial and error. If you would like to try a prescription diet, talk to your vet and ask about these:

Royal Canine Hypoallergenic HP 19

Royal Canine Digestive LF Veterinary Diet

Royal Canine Ultamino Dry Food Prescription Food    (this food is getting excellent reviews for dogs with food sensitivities/allergies) “Corn starch, hydrolyzed poultry by-products aggregate, coconut oil, soybean oil, natural flavors, potassium phosphate, powdered cellulose, calcium carbonate, sodium silico aluminate, chicory, L-tyrosine, fructooligosaccharides, fish oil, L-lysine, choline chloride, taurine, L-tryptophan, vitamins [DL-alpha tocopherol (source of vitamin E), inositol, niacin supplement, L-ascorbyl-2-polyphosphate (source of vitamin C), D-calcium pantothenate, biotin, pyridoxine hydrochloride (vitamin B6), riboflavin supplement, thiamine mononitrate (vitamin B1), vitamin A acetate, folic acid, vitamin B12 supplement, vitamin D3 supplement], DL-methionine, marigold extract (Tagetes erecta L.), histidine, trace minerals (zinc proteinate, zinc oxide, ferrous sulfate, manganese proteinate, copper proteinate, copper sulfate, manganous oxide, calcium iodate, sodium selenite), rosemary extract, preserved with mixed tocopherols and citric acid. – See more at: https://www.royalcanin.com/products/royal-canin-veterinary-diet-canine-ultamino-dry-dog-food/4014#sthash.eS5r2Y84.dpuf”

Regarding Primal Pets Frozen food….”I became aware of your EPI4Dogs website when my rat terrier, Jack, was ill. Although he ultimately tested negative for EPI, he has many of the symptoms, and his vet and I have been able to successfully manage his absorption and diarrhea problems and bring his weight up with the same treatments that seem to work for EPI — he currently takes pancreatic enzymes daily and was on B-12 shots for several months, although he seems to be doing okay without the shots now. If he goes off the enzymes though, his diarrhea returns and his weight drops pretty quickly. Our best guess is that he may simply have a milder form of EPI, and the vet has essentially been treating him as if he tested positive.
Anyway, I wanted to pass on his diet in case it helps. Cutting the starch (potatoes and sweet potatoes as well as grain) was a big turning point for him, so he currently gets Primal Frozen, which is on your list. But I found that the leaner meats, like venison, were disastrous because he simply had to eat too much food to keep his weight up, and more food seemed to exacerbate his symptoms. Beef was great calorie-wise, but he’s allergic, so we settled on lamb. I supplement with coconut oil and Honest Kitchen’s Perfect Form, which keeps his poop firm.
When I first started this diet with him, he was 10.7 pounds (the vet wanted him at least 14), eating double the recommended amount for a dog his size, and averaging four increasingly mushy poops on his morning walk alone. Now he’s 15 pounds and down from 12 oz a day of Primal to 9, and he rarely poops more than twice a day.
Anyway, I hope this helps. Thanks so much for this website. Whatever Jack has, following the guidelines on your site has turned him around, and I’m so grateful. The day he gained enough weight that I had to buy him the next size up collar (and he’s still a slim dog) was one of the happiest days I’ve had since he got sick. And I really don’t miss haven’t to bring latex gloves and paper towels on his walks to clean up the poop.           ~Jayden
