Pancreatic Support for Dogs and Cats
Pancreatitis can cause a lot of discomfort and sleepless nights for your little one.
No one wants to get the news that their sweet four-legged companion is suffering from pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas). The pancreas is a squishy, pink gland (that lays to the right of your furkiddo's stomach and is connected to the small intestine) has two main jobs, which are:
1.) To release digestive enzymes to breakdown proteins, carbs and fats (they become active once they reach the small intestine)
2.) To secrete insulin/glucagon to regulate blood sugar levels
Pancreatitis disrupts the normal functioning of digestive enzymes - typically, these enzymes are stored in their inactive form and are only released when needed. When the pancreas is inflamed, enzymes are released and can digest the pancreas itself, leading to severe pain and inflammation. Further inflammation can lead to other diseases like diabetes mellitus (disruption of insulin/glucagon pathways) or inflammation of surrounding tissues (eg. the liver and small intestine). Supporting your pet with cat or dog pancreatic support supplements can help improve their symptoms and put your furry friend back on the path to recovery.
There Are Two Types of Pancreatitis:
Acute Pancreatitis: can happen suddenly, with no previous sign of the condition. It must be treated as quickly as possible and can be life-threatening to other organs if the inflammation spreads.
Chronic Pancreatitis: develops slowly over time and can be a result of repeated attacks of severe pancreatitis.
How NHV Remedies Support Pets With Pancreatitis
It’s difficult to pinpoint the exact cause of pancreatitis. Possible causes could be a high-fat diet (specific to dogs), trauma to the organ (eg. a car accident), certain types of medication, or stress from a chronic illness like hypothyroidism, diabetes mellitus, or inflammatory bowel disease (specific to cats). Symptoms can include lethargy, appetite loss, weakness, abdominal pain, dehydration, vomiting, or diarrhea. To get your furkiddo tested for acute or severe pancreatitis, contact your vet to run some diagnostic tests like a SPEC (specific pancreatic lipase test), ultrasound or a radiograph.
Treatment for pancreatitis often includes intense hydration therapy and supports for pain and nausea. Your little one may require a few sleepovers at the vet so that they can benefit from IV fluids that aid with circulation and encourage the pancreas to heal naturally. NHV’s Pancreas Imbalance Kit 1 is specially formulated to help relieve discomfort, help with inflammation, support the pancreas functioning, as well as support other vital organs like the liver and kidneys. Mellit works to soothe pancreatic inflammation, is beneficial for healthy enzyme function and aids to regulate blood sugar levels. Meanwhile, Milk Thistle, supports the liver and encourages the healthy elimination of toxins, and strengthens immunity. Turmeric contains many effective properties that can soothe discomfort, inflammation and support healthy liver function.

Shake well before use. The easiest method is to use the dropper provided and place the drops into your pet’s food or favorite treat. You can also use the dropper and squirt directly into the pet’s mouth. Some pets can be finicky, if this occurs consider hiding the drops in foods most pet’s love such as fish, chicken or yogurt or a favorite treat. If your pet only eats dry food then soak a few kibbles at feeding time.
