Wet dietary food for adult dogs with liver failure: low copper content, high energy density, and highly digestible proteins.
The nutritional management of liver failure or chronic hepatitis in dogs requires a targeted diet to reduce stress on the liver and prevent the accumulation of toxic substances such as copper and nitrogenous waste products.
Royal Canin Hepatic Wet meets this need with a rigorously formulated recipe: it uses selected plant-based proteins (such as soy protein isolate), which are better tolerated in cases of hepatic encephalopathy than traditional animal proteins, thereby reducing ammonia production.
The formula features a significantly reduced copper content to limit its harmful accumulation in liver cells. The soft texture of the pâté and its high energy density allow daily caloric needs to be met with small portions, preventing muscle wasting and avoiding an excessive burden on the dog’s digestive system.

Feeding Guidelines and Usage Notes: It is recommended to consult a veterinarian before use or before extending the duration of use. Initially, feed Hepatic wet food for up to 6 months in cases of chronic liver failure, or as prescribed by a veterinarian.
Serve at room temperature. Always provide your pet with plenty of fresh, clean water. After opening, store in the refrigerator and consume within 48 hours.
Benefits:
Highly digestible plant-based proteins: The use of plant-based proteins reduces the formation of nitrogenous waste, providing essential support for dogs with liver disease.
Low copper content: Controlled copper concentration to limit its accumulation in liver cells.
High energy content: High caloric density to meet energy needs with smaller portions, preventing muscle catabolism.
Antioxidant support: A synergistic complex of antioxidants to counteract oxidative stress and protect cellular health.
Appetizing wet food format: A pâté-like consistency that encourages spontaneous consumption in pets with poor appetite and ensures proper hydration.
