Liver Care
The liver is your dogs largest internal organ with many functions, including the digestion and conversion of nutrients, the removal of toxic substances from the blood and the storage of vitamins and minerals. The liver has an amazing ability to repair and regenerate itself, and nutrition plays a vital role in this process.
Hill's nutritionists and veterinarians developed Hill's Prescription Diet l/d, clinical nutrition especially formulated to support your dogs liver health. In fact, l/d is formulated to help protect vital liver function
How it works:
- Controlled levels of highly digestible protein
- Low copper to minimise accumulation in the liver
- Clinically proven antioxidants to support immune function & healing
How it helps:
- Helps reduce liver workload allowing liver tissue to regenerate
- Helps avoid nutrient deficiencies & excesses related to the liver
