Royal Canin Hepatic is a tailored veterinary diet formulated to support the nutritional needs of adult cats with liver problems. For cats that suffer with liver disease — such as chronic liver insufficiency — this supportive formula contains specifically adapted levels of high-quality proteins to help support liver function. Copper accumulation can happen in some liver diseases, and Royal Canin Hepatic's purposely low copper content can help to minimise copper accumulation in your cat's liver. Its high energy content helps to reduce the volume of your cat's meals and decrease their intestinal load while still providing the energy they need. Suitable for cats with cholangitis/cholangiohepatitis associated with liver dysfunction, chronic hepatitis, hepatic encephalopathy, copper storage disease, and portosystemic shunt. Available in a 2 kg bag. For use under veterinary supervision only.
