Hill's Prescription Diet l/d Liver Care Chicken Flavor Dry Dog Food, Veterinary Diet, 17.6 lb. Bag

This top quality dog food has made all the difference for my dog with liver shunts. My dog is a medium sized Havanese and the fkibble is proabably 5-7 mm in diameter and about 3-4 mm thick. My dog has gone from being sick on a weekly basis, to it being a rare occasion. He has been able to gain weight and flourish— if anything a little too well. (That is NOT a complaint in his case.) This food is an effective way to safely feed a dog with liver struggles. It has literally been a life saver for my dog. He digests it well, his BM’s have improved, and he is okay with the taste. It’s not his favorite, but he eats it anyway. His liver function tests improved greatly as he has used this food.

Dog food works very well for my handicapped dog would recommend it

Their liver enzymes DID go down because they stopped eating and lost weight .

My dog tested positive for the copper toxicosis gene. That means he is predisposed toward developing copper toxicity. That could have and would have killed him. I had administered the embark test to him to verify his breeding not knowing that it also tested for a number of health issues. When the results came in I immediately had him tested to see if he already had it. Thankfully he tested negative. I immediately changed his diet. No more sweet potatoes for him. No more organ meat either. I did a review of everything he was eating. Everyone who lives with a treasured dog or cat should give the embark test to them. I’m glad I did. I found this dry food which is geared toward dogs who need a very low copper diet.l

For smaller breed dogs like my miniature dachshund and chiweenie, the size of each piece of food was a little too large, especially for my senior dog with failing teeth who needed a liver support food in the first place. I also wish this food came in a smaller bag size since I’d rather pay for a smaller quantity. My dogs found the flavor to be acceptable, but not especially enticing. It does also have a scent, but it was not overpowering.

My dog actually likes this food which is a huge plus.

this is a good food for dogs that need a special diet

This is very expensive but my dog needs it for her liver. It's a shame that companies take advantage of their customers like this No dog food should be this expensive but they know that people love their dogs and will do whatever it takes to keep them healthy.
