Pet's info: Dog | Jack Russell Terrier | Male | neutered | 2 years and 1 month old | 8 lbs
i have a mini jack russell terrier with chronic pancreatitis. Is it suitable to make him a low fat pate / meat paste if there is such a thing? He is only allowed chicken, rice and his special diet kibble and i would like to introduce some new treats into his world :)

Poor Henry-pancreatitis is no fun. I don’t usually recommend adding something like this to the diet for animals who suffer these types of severe/chronic conditions. We never know what may cause a flair up. However, if Henry is using a prescription kibble you could check with your vet to see if a canned formulation is available as well. If so you can cut the canned product into little cubes and bake/dehydrate then in the oven to make your own treats! Another option is that most of the companies that manufacture prescription foods also have a range of treats which are labelled for use with various of their prescription diets. Good luck!
