Shelteez here is a site for you that says the guy who created the BARF diet said that pancreatitis is a possible side affect.. here's the quote from the web site.

Now before you try to argue with me or anything, I'm not saying that the majority of dogs on the BARF diet get sick. I do believe it is a great diet, but I do now that pancreatitis is a possible side affect from it.

"In his book, ["The Barf Diet," 2001] Dr Billinghurst mentions pancreatitis as a possible hazard when starting the Barf Diet. He says that this is more likely in the overweight dog receiving too much fat from, for example, fatty lamb. He himself recognises that fat causes pancreatitis and I must assume that he has encountered this condition several times on the BARF Diet."
