How we worked this out

Liver disease

Why food is part of the treatment.

Liver disease is not one condition. It is a category. The liver filters waste, builds proteins, processes fats, regulates nutrients, and produces the bile needed for digestion. When it struggles, the effects can reach the entire body.

The liver also has a remarkable ability to regenerate. Nutrition cannot replace diagnosis or treatment, but it can support the liver by supplying the nutrients it needs while reducing specific nutritional burdens.

What the liver does

Filters toxins. Builds proteins. Processes fats. Stores and regulates nutrients. Produces bile. Helps remove waste from the bloodstream.

When these functions decline, waste products can accumulate and affect everything from appetite and digestion to energy, behavior, and brain function.

Why nutrition matters

Protein is not automatically restricted in every dog with liver disease. But when ammonia handling is impaired, both the amount and source of protein matter. Hepatic Support uses egg and cottage cheese as its primary protein sources and keeps total protein controlled.

In copper-associated liver disease, copper can accumulate inside liver cells and contribute to further damage. Hepatic Support keeps copper low and adds zinc, which can help reduce copper absorption from the gut.

What liver disease can look like

Signs vary depending on the cause, severity, and amount of functioning liver tissue that remains.

PhaseWhat is happeningWhat you might notice
EarlyLiver cells under stress. Damage happens quietly.Nothing visible. Elevated liver enzymes may be the only sign.
ActiveInflammation underway. Liver functions are affected.Lethargy, reduced appetite, occasional vomiting or diarrhea.
AdvancedSignificant scarring. Detoxification and metabolism severely compromised.Jaundice, weight loss, abdominal swelling, confusion.

Storing it

Your food arrives frozen. Keep it in the freezer, then move a packet to the refrigerator the night before you need it. Once thawed, keep it sealed and refrigerated, and use it within five days.

What you may notice

During the first week, you may notice smaller, firmer stools. Some dogs also drink a little less because fresh food contains more moisture. If stools become loose, stay at the last comfortable step of the transition for a few more days before moving forward.

A number needs context.

Dog food labels make comparison harder than it should be. We show nutrients in grams per 1,000 calories, so you can see what your dog is really getting.

Dogs need a certain number of calories each day. How much food it takes to provide them depends on the food's moisture and calorie density. Showing nutrients per 1,000 calories makes it easier to see what your dog is actually getting and compare one food with another.

Every number shown here is a measured value, not a label minimum or maximum. It reflects the nutrient levels this recipe was formulated to provide.
