GENERAL FEEDING RECOMMENDATIONS:

Daily feeding recommendations may be divided into two to four meals. Frequent feedings will help to maximize energy intake in anorectic patients, optimize nutrient digestion and uptake, and afford better protein and glucose tolerance.

Fresh water should be available at all times.

Individual requirements may vary depending on breed, age, sex, environment, and activity level.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
ROYAL CANIN Veterinary Diet^TM/MC canine Hepatic LS 14^TM/MC is a complete food intended for adult dogs with hepatic disease. It contains a moderate level of high quality vegetable protein, elevated levels of dietary fiber, increased zinc, and restricted copper. The diet is enriched with antioxidants.

NUTRITION STATEMENT:
Hepatic LS 14^TM/MC is intended for intermittent or supplemental feeding only.

	Low copper and increased zinc content minimizes both copper accumulation in the hepatocytes and intracellular lesions caused by cholestasis.
	Contains highly digestible vegetable protein (soy protein isolate), which is better tolerated in dogs with hepatic encephalopathy.
	Limited sodium intake decreases portal hypertension and reduces extravascular water flow.
	Naturally preserved with mixed tocopherols, rosemary extract, and citric acid.
