Hepatic

HEPATIC is a complete dietetic feed for the nutritional management of dogs formulated to support liver function in the case of chronic liver insufficiency and for the reduction of copper in the liver. Moderate level of high quality protein. High level of essential fatty acids and highly digestible carbohydrates. Low level of copper. RECOMMENDATIONS: It is recommended that a veterinarian's opinion be sought before use or before extending the period of use. Initially feed HEPATIC for up to 6 months.

Vegetable protein

Highly digestable proteins (soy protein isolate) are better tolerated in dogs with hepatic encephalopathy.

Low copper

A low copper with increased zinc content minimises both copper accumulation in the hepatocytes and intracellular lesions caused by cholestasis.

Antioxidant complex

A patented synergistic complex of antioxidants to help neutralise free radicals.

High energy

High energy provided from fat avoids excessive protein catabolism, limiting the risk of onset or the progression of hepatic encephalopathy.
