Royal Canin Hepatic Dog Food 12x420g

Veterinary diets are formulated for the nutritional support of dogs with specific clinical conditions and are recommended to be used under veterinary advice. For more information on feeding Hepatic to your dog, please consult your veterinary surgeon.

Hepatic is for the nutritional support of dogs in cases of:

• Chronic hepatitis
• Portosystemic shunt
• Hepatic encephalopathy
• Liver failure
• Piroplasmosis
• Copper metabolism disorders
• Liver disease

Not recommended in cases of:

• Pregnancy, lactation, growth
• Pancreatitis or history of pancreatitis
• Hyperlipidaemia

A low copper with increased zinc content minimises copper accumulation in the hepatocytes.

The synergistic antioxidant complex helps support the health of the hepatocytes.
 
A low sodium intake decreases portal hypertension and reduces extravascular fluid loss.
 
High energy level helps maintain bodyweight in dogs with hepatic failure. L-carnitine favours fat use in the liver avoiding excessive protein catabolism, a risk factor for the onset or progression of hepatic encephalopathy.
