RPM - Tonight at 7pm Pancreatitis

RPM: Raw Pet Medics DO Pancreatitis 7pm tonight - Friday. On RPM FB Page.

Pancreatitis...

As high blood fat is a symptom of a failing pancreas, vets
think feeding fat is the problem.

However, studies* show feeding carbohydrates spike blood
fat (when they make up 55% of the diet, on an ME basis).

This is why, among many other benefits, raw dog food
reduces blood fat**.

Understanding this process is CRUCIAL to not only treating
this disease but avoiding it in the first place.

Want to know more? Check out the Raw Pet Medics tonight
