Answer
Dog food recipes low fat low protein; dog food for pancreatitis:
Hi Steph, sure : here is a recipe - you will need to look for a good Natural dog vitamin in your country as NuVET won't ship to you.
Recipe:
LOW PROTEIN DIETS

Low protein diets play a role in the treatment of several conditions, such as kidney disease, advanced liver disease, and some forms of dominance aggression. [If your pet has been prescribed a low protein diet], but doesn’t like any of the commercial preparations, you might consider trying one of these home-cooked recipes.


EGG & POTATO DIET
(low-protein, low-phosphorous, high-potassium, normal sodium) for Dogs

1 egg, large, cooked

3 cups potato, boiled with skin

1 tablespoon chicken fat

1½ calcium carbonate tablets (600 milligrams calcium)

½ multiple-mineral tablet

Provides 600 kilocalories, 15.1 grams protein, 18.5 grams fat. Supports caloric needs of an 18-pound dog.
Provides phosphorus at 53 percent, potassium at 322 percent, sodium at 114 percent of dogs daily needs. To feed this diet with a normal amount of phosphorus, substitute 3 bonemeal tablets for the 1 1/2 carbonate tablets.




CHICKEN AND POTATO DIET
(low protein low phosphorus, high potassium, low sodium) for Dogs

¼ cup cooked chicken breast

3 cups potato, boiled with skin

2 tablespoons chicken fat

1 ½ calcium carbonate tablets (600 milligrams calcium)

½ multiple vitamin-mineral tablet

Provides 689 kilocalories, 18.9 grams protein, 26.8 grams fat. Supports caloric needs of a 21-22 pound dog
Provides phosphorus at 45 percent, potassium at 301 percent, sodium at 54 percent of a dog's daily needs. To feed this diet with a normal amount of phosphorus, substitute 4 bonemeal tablets for the 1 1/2 calcium carbonate tablets.



LOW FAT/LOW PROTEIN DIET FOR DOGS

½ pkg. Salad Macaroni (cooked)
1 Cup Brown Rice (Cook separately: 1C Rice w/2.5 C water/45 min.)
2 Eggs Hard-boiled and chopped up finely
8-10 Tums Crushed (calcium carbonate)
½ pkg. Frozen Broccoli and
½ pkg. Frozen Carrots - steamed until crisp/tender (chop up finely)
Mix everything together. Can be frozen in small portions. You can also add ½ -1 tablespoon. low calorie cottage cheese.

I've also added a little bit of cooked ground chicken...and doubled the recipe for ease and frozen it in serving size portions.
