Not a food recommendation, but would HIGHLY recommend this probiotic chew from Amazon. My dog thinks they are a treat and it solidified her poop in about 3 days.

My Sadie, who’s father is a American Staffordshire, has almost died from pancreatitis twice. These days I feed her lean chicken cooked with rice & vegetables. At times, when she looks like she’s putting on some weight, I substitute the rice with cauliflower rice. She’s doing great. She’s 13 years old now. Also, her triglycerides are normal, it was so high for a long time.
