Key benefits:

• Vegetable protein: Digestible, high quality protein from vegetables is easier to assimilate and better tolerated by dogs with liver encephalosis.
• Low copper: Reduced levels of copper combined with high levels of zinc prohibit copper accumulation in liver cells and help to prevent liver cell degeneration.
• Antioxidant complex: A patented synergistic complex of antioxidants (vitamin E, vitamin C, taurine, lutein) can help to neutralise free radicals
• High energy: Energy from fat and a reduced level of protein helps to reduce protein degradation, minimising the risk of progressive hepatic encephalopathy.

Changing your pet's diet and length of treatment: The length of treatment will depend on the severity of your pet's symptoms and how well the liver regenerates itself. If your pet suffers from chronic liver disease it may be necessary to feed your dog Royal Canin Veterinary Diet - Hepatic HF 16 for the rest of its life.
