DESCRIPTION
The liver is your dog's largest internal organ with many functions, including metabolizing 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 Prescription Diet l/d, clinical nutrition to support liver health and help protect vital liver function.
How it helps:
- Helps reduce liver workload allowing liver tissue to regenerate
- Helps avoid nutrient deficiencies & excesses related to the liver
- Immune system support, critical for dogs with compromised livers
How it works:
- Controlled levels of highly digestible protein
- Low copper to minimize accumulation in the liver
- Clinically proven antioxidants to support immune function & healing
