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.

Holisticvet UK

Nick Thompson is a vet. He has been fighting for responsible, species-appropriate raw food feeding for pets for 25 years. His tireless drive for healthy pets from birth to graceful old age brought him to raw feeding in the mid-1990s.

Nick is Founding President of the international Raw Feeding Veterinary Society (www.rfvs.info) and has co-authored a pioneering worldwide survey of 79 vets and their experiences feeding raw food. He has co-organised international raw food conferences for the RFVS since 2012.

In 1999, Nick established his specialist practice, Holisticvet (www.holisticvet.co.uk). Now based in Corsham, near Bath, he offers homeopathy, natural nutrition and herbal medicine and a lot of good old-fashioned common sense for dogs and horses.

His pet topics are gastroenterology and the microbiome and the misuse of pharmaceuticals in medicine. He loves researching all aspects of human and animal nutrition.
