Complete dry food for adult dogs with liver failure: low in copper and highly digestible protein.
Managing liver failure or chronic hepatitis in dogs requires targeted and consistent nutritional support to reduce stress on the liver and promote liver tissue regeneration.
Managing a dog with liver problems requires limiting the accumulation of toxic substances such as copper and ammonia, while maintaining an adequate caloric intake to counteract weight loss. Royal Canin Hepatic offers a rigorously formulated solution: it uses selected plant-based proteins (such as soy protein isolate), which are better tolerated in cases of hepatic encephalopathy than traditional animal proteins.
The recipe features a very low copper content combined with an increased zinc intake to limit copper deposition within liver cells.
The high energy concentration allows for smaller portions without overburdening the digestive system, while the antioxidant complex helps protect tissues from free radicals.

Nutritional additives (per kg): Vitamin A: 18,500 IU, Vitamin D3: 1,200 IU, E1 (Iron): 122 mg, E2 (Iodine): 5.9 mg, E4 (Copper): 5 mg, E5 (Manganese): 56 mg, E6 (Zinc): 180 mg, E8 (Selenium): 0.4 mg - Technological additives: Clinoptilolite of sedimentary origin: 10 g - Preservatives - Antioxidants.
Analytical Constituents: Crude protein: 16.0% | Crude oils and fats: 16.0% | Crude ash: 4.7% | Crude fiber: 1.9% | Essential fatty acids: 3.86% | EPA/DHA: 0.2% | Total copper: 5.0 mg/kg | Sodium: 0.2%.
Feeding Guidelines and Usage Notes: It is recommended to consult a veterinarian before use or before extending the duration of use. Initially, administer Hepatic for up to 6 months in cases of chronic liver failure, or for life as directed by a veterinarian. Always provide the animal with plenty of fresh, clean water.
Highly digestible plant-based protein: The use of plant-based protein reduces the production of nitrogenous waste, providing essential support for dogs with hepatic encephalopathy.
Low copper content: Significantly reduced copper concentration to limit its harmful accumulation in liver cells.
High energy content: Meets the animal’s caloric needs with small portions, preventing muscle catabolism and reducing the digestive burden.
Antioxidant support: A synergistic complex of antioxidants to counteract oxidative stress and support liver cell regeneration.
Enriched with zinc: Helps inhibit intestinal copper absorption and protects cell membranes.
