I decided to put Rocco on Kangaroo as a change from raw and as he has a sensitive stomach. It is an excellent alternative to raw!

It took me a year to find food that suited my dog. After learning about novel proteins, she’s like a new dog – happy, itch-free, with healthy skin and loads of energy. Switching to Happy Dog was the best decision I’ve made.

I moved to this after a lot of issues with my dog's tummy – he loves it.

So I tried the trial bag first and my itchy Patterdale stopped scratching within two days of being on it full time.

Product Information

Vet Prescribed Dog Food Diet

  • For Liver disease
  • Easily digestible
  • Reduced copper and sodium content
  • Reduced protein content

Happy Dog VET Diet Hepatic can make an important contribution to relieving and supporting the liver in dogs with chronic liver disease. A moderate level of high-quality proteins with a high energy content effectively reduces the exposure to harmful breakdown products. The ingredients are carefully selected: easily digestible rice, delicious salmon and liver-protecting milk thistle. This balanced recipe ensures an optimal supply of nutrients. The vitamin and trace element contents are tailored to the special needs of dogs with liver problems. Happy Dog VET Diet Hepatic can be used for the following indications: liver diseases, liver-related encephalopathies, portosystemic shunt or copper storage disease.

Happy Dog VET Hepatics protein and copper content is moderate. High protein digestibility helps support protein metabolism, with the amino acid profile of the complete feed being specially optimised for animals with liver disease. The diet contributes to the binding of ammonia in the intestine, supports the intestinal flora and intestinal integrity and offers antioxidant protection. Happy Dog VET Diet Hepatic thus supports the liver function in dogs with liver diseases.
