Royal Canin Dog Food for Dogs with Liver Problems
If your dog suffers from liver problems, the type of food is decisive for its correct nutrition and development. Royal Canin Hepatic Canine is a complete dietetic and balanced food formulated with a low vegetable protein content, specifically indicated for pets suffering from chronic hepatitis, liver failure, hepatic encephalopathy, piroplasmosis, jaundice and copper metabolism disorders.
Royal Canin Hepatic reduces metabolic workload and limits calorie intake from protein. Its low copper content and high zinc levels minimise copper accumulation in hepatocytes and intracellular lesions caused by cholestasis. It prevents the major complications of liver failure and controls the progression of inflammation and fibrosis. It also provides essential nutrients for hepatocyte regeneration.
Reduced sodium levels lower portal hypertension and the synergistic antioxidant complex slows disease progression and L-carnitine helps meet the liver's energy needs. The high level of energy provided by fats limits the risk of the onset or progression of hepatic encephalopathy. In addition, easily digestible vegetable proteins are better tolerated in these animals.
Royal Canin Hepatic Canine is a medicated dietary food for dogs with liver problems, developed with low levels of vegetable protein and high energy.
The duration of treatment varies according to the cause of the pathology and the regenerative capacity of the liver tissue. In cases of chronic disease, it is necessary to continue this type of food for the lifetime of your pet.
Not recommended for pregnant or lactating bitches, growing puppies or pets suffering from pancreatitis or a history of pancreatitis and hyperlipidaemia.
Medicated diets are formed with great care and as this is a supplemented product it should not be administered without the prior prescription of your veterinarian.
