A clear, comforting, evidence-based roadmap for
Paw Parents whose dogs are facing
acute or chronic pancreatitis.
Written by someone who has lived through it, survived it, and dedicated her life to helping dogs heal safely.
“Pancreatitis didn’t suddenly appear ...
It grew quietly in the shadow of the processed-dog-food era.
Our dogs are paying for convenience with chronic inflammation.”
Nikki Kendal, CPCN
When your dog is diagnosed with pancreatitis, everything stops.
If your dog is suddenly refusing food, crying out in pain, trembling, vomiting, hunched over…
your whole world shifts in a single moment.
Most Paw Parents say the same thing:
“I didn’t even know dogs could get pancreatitis.
I had no idea the signs.
No one prepared me for this.”
Pancreatitis doesn’t just attack a dog’s body.
It attacks your heart — because nothing is more terrifying than
watching your dog hurt and not knowing what to do next.
If you’re feeling afraid, overwhelmed, or completely blindsided…
You are not alone.
And there is hope.
Introducing:
Healing Pancreatitis in Dogs Naturally
The Kibbleless™ Science-Backed Guide to Recovery & Hope Through Whole Food
Worldwide studies show that while only 1–2% of dogs are diagnosed with pancreatitis during life, necropsy studies reveal pancreatic inflammation in up to 64% of dogs — meaning most cases are silent, missed, or misdiagnosed.

“Pancreatitis is exploding in today’s dogs.
And while veterinarians call it a mystery, the truth is simple...
years of highly processed diets create the perfect storm for inflammation.”

WHY I WROTE THIS GUIDE:
My dog Smitten survived a confirmed kibble toxin that took the lives of two of our dogs,
but he was left with chronic pancreatitis.
I will never forget what it felt like....
the fear,
the helplessness,
the “no one told me this could happen.”
What we went through shattered me… but it also awakened a lifelong mission:
No Paw Parent should ever go through pancreatitis alone.
And no dog should suffer from hidden, preventable pancreatic damage.
This guide is everything I wish someone had handed me on day one.
