Hepatic in Gel Canned Dog Food

Our dog requires a special hepatic diet, we tried other food that she would not eat. The smell was bad, we figure the taste was bad as she eats anything not nailed down. Luckily she likes this food and eats with no fuss.

it has kept my dog alive having liver disease.Thank God for the food

My Yellow Lab Jazzy developed Copper Storage Disease at ten years old. In addition to the Penicillamine prescription and filtering her water I started her on Science Diet K/D. She ate the dry and canned food for five months with no issues. At just over five months she refused to eat the dry food any longer than a few weeks later she refused the canned. I switched her over to the Hepatic Royal Canine and she absolute loves it both the dry and canned. The Royal Canine product was a life saver for my girl! She has gained weight back and her energy levels are back to normal.

My schnauzer pup was almost dead 3 times; symptoms mimicked acute pancreatitis, but tests proved negative. On the 3rd round, she was tested for a liver shunt, and it was bad; her toxin levels were through the roof. She went on this dog food immediately, and the results were immediate! She underwent surgery, but the prognosis for a complete fix is guarded... we'll redo the test leter this month. But, even if we only have a partial success, I'm confident this food will let her be healthy for life. In the month and-a-half she's been on it, she has achieved a healthy weight absolutely goes berzerk for the stuff. I mix both dry and wet, but usually give 90% wet.

My Lab has to have Hepatic food, this is the brand she prefers. We purchase the dry for meals and the canned is baked for treats. We spread it out on a cookie sheet with parchment paper, bake at 320 for about 90 minutes. We store it in the refrigerator. You wouldn't want to have a dinner party on the same day! This is the only treat besides turkey she can have. Thank you!

Started my mom's Maltese on this diet. She has congenital.liver disease. She has lived 2 years longer(and still going) than expected while eating this diet only !!! Thank you for giving my mom more time with her baby !

Both my small rescue dogs have liver problems. The vet put them on this diet and they both love it. I never have any problems getting them to eat! After being on this food and taking their medicine their liver numbers have improved greatly. Thanks for a good tasting dog food.

My dog hates this and won't touch it. Don't blame him...ingredients are disgusting and cheap. The price is ridiculous.

My dog loves this, he has no idea it is a special hepatic diet. I mix with the hepatic dry food.

Spock, my puppy, was diagnosed with liver shunt at 11 weeks old. He was nearly gone by that point and we were beside ourselves. The vet we took him to had seen shunt before, and did blood testing to confirm, then fed him this food. In 48 hours, we had a different puppy. He is now 14 weeks old. He went from 3.8 lbs at 11 weeks, to 7.2 pounds today. Spock has a long road ahead. On August 8, we take him for a CT scan to confirm the shunt diagnosis and locate it. Then, we determine whether surgery will be a successful plan. Regardless, Royal Canin food will be our go-to for his life. The first photo is of him, sick, not asleep, on the vet table when we nearly lost him. Two days earlier he had been fine - launched himself into the pool, played hard, etc. - the next day he started downhill, refused to eat and slept all day. We thought he'd played too hard the day before; the next day he ate well but then started acting drunk (the vet called this "star gazing" and said it is the #1 sign of shunt). The next day he was on the vet table - picture. The you-tube video was taken 2 days ago - 7 lbs. and a bundle of puppy energy! We use the dry food for his training treats (2 1/4c. training treats/day) and the wet for his 3 meals/day (1 can/day). Yes, this is ALOT of food. He is growing like a weed. This week was the first time we did not feel every rib, hip, and collar bone on his body. He actually has meat on him! Can someone give me a way to contact the inventor of this food to send him/her a thank you card? And a virtual hug! Also - if you can come up with tiny treat version of the dry for training, that would be awesome! Our training is limited to the number of pellets he can eat and not become obese. :-) (Note - Spock is a mini-goldendoodle. His mom is AKC Golden Retriever; his dad is AKC toy-poodle.
