Let Their Food Be Their Medicine

According to Wikipedia, "The pancreas is a glandular organ in the digestive system & endocrine system of vertebrates. It is both an endocrine gland producing several important hormones, including insulin, glucagon, somatostatin & pancreatic polypeptide & a digestive organ, secreting pancreatic juice containing digestive enzymes that assist the absorption of nutrients & the digestion in the small intestine. These enzymes help to further break down the carbohydrates, proteins & lipids in the chyme." This organ is a normal part of a raw-fed diet. In addition to feeding this for variety, pet caregivers seek out pancreas to combat a life-threatening condition called EPI. Several dog breeds & some cats have a predisposition to EPI, Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency. By adding pancreas regularly to an EPI-afflicted dog/cat's diet, pet guardians can take charge of their pet's health & restored vitality for years to come. EPI can also be kept under control by eliminating kibble & feeding a raw diet (the one Mother Nature intended) instead. Pancreas also helps pets afflicted with pancreatitis. It's the idea of feeding to the health need. Consult your vet regarding EPI, pancreatitis & how to best restore your pet's health.
