Royal Canin Veterinary Hepatic HF 16 – Dietary Food for Adult Dogs
Complete dietary food for adult dogs, specially formulated to support liver function in cases of chronic liver failure and help reduce copper storage in the liver.
The formula has a moderate level of high-quality, highly digestible proteins from selected sources, adapted to the nutritional needs of dogs with liver disease. The copper content is reduced to help minimize its accumulation in the liver.
With a high energy density, this diet allows the dog's energy requirements to be met through smaller portions, which may help reduce the load on the digestive system.
