Dry food

My Chihuahua was at the animal hospital in April last year. His liver values were so high that the equipment couldn't measure and display them properly. I fought for a long time to keep him. He had to take all sorts of medications, and this Hepatic HF 16 was recommended to me. Since August of last year, his liver values have normalised. I can wholeheartedly recommend this food.

Kibble that cares !

Before a run of the mill operation for my dog, we took a blood test for her pre-op checkup. It was then that we discovered that her liver was suffering terribly. Some of her readings were 5 times what they should have been... In the months since then, her monthly blood tests have been returning much better results even though the treatment to detoxify has been more or less natural. It's a miracle ! This kibble has helped her to return to healthy readings for over a year now !

TOP for 2 years

Following several liver failures 2 years ago, this is all I've been feeding my dog. He's almost 13 now, and his values are totally normal and healthy again. No more liver failure either. He seems to love eating it and the food really agrees with him. I will stick with this food until the end. Nothing but good things to say

A second life for our dog

Liver problems since she was little, an illness discovered around her first birthday, terrible blood tests, vomiting every two to three days.. After one month of treatment and giving her RC Hepatic for the last 7 years (from 1 1/2 to 8 1/2) she has almost never been sick and her blood levels have practically returned to normal. Thanks to this, she is able to have a second chance at life, to experience the joy of living and a healthy appetite. She has wildly outperformed her life expectancy of 2-3 years. My only concern is that the price has gone up quite often over the years..

Very nice find

Very good product, we've been buying it at the vet's office which we found out was twice as expensive as on here. Very nice delivery man who made us and our dog very happy with this order

Rapid improvement!

My dog was found to have elevated AST levels following ingestion of an unknown poison. The vet recommended putting him on a hepatic diet for a few weeks to help him recover. The difference was dramatic: increased energy levels and reduced thirst almost immediately. I would recommend this food for a dog with liver problems.

Royal Canin Hepatic dry food for dogs

My Border Terrier Cross is 16 yrs old.She has a couple of problems one of which is a liver problem and the vet recommended Royal Canin Hepatic food. She has been having this dry food now for about 2 years and she is very active and happy. We go for long walks which she enjoys and I'm so pleased that we found a food that she enjoys and keeps her active.

Royal Canin Veterinary Diet - Hepatic HF 16

My dog (10 year old Westie) had a big hard tummy from bloating and disastrous liver problems. The doctor prescribed a medication and this diet. After 2 weeks she's back to her normal self, jumping around like a puppy :) I would definitely recommend!

My little dog has a new lease of life!

My 6yr old Lhasa Apso bitch had been suffering from colitis for some months. She was very unhappy, had lost a lot of weight and had repeated courses of antibiotics and steroids from the vets. Eventually my vet suggested the Royal Canin Hypoallergenic food. She has now been on this for a few months and has a new lease of life! I am delighted. Yes, the food is quite expensive, but not as expensive repeated vets bills! Plus my dog is happy again!

Great for dogs with health problems

I have a dog who has to be on a low protein diet. This is among the few foods that I have found on the market that he likes. Recommended!
