BRIT GRAIN FREE VETERINARY DIET DOG HEPATIC

Brit Veterinary Diet Hepatic is a dietetic complete feed for dogs formulated to support liver function in the case of chronic liver insufficiency. With a moderate level of highly digestible protein, low copper, and a blend of milk thistle, prebiotics, and gut flora stabilisers, this formula helps reduce the metabolic burden on the liver and supports hepatic recovery and long-term management.

Indications

• 🐶 Hepatic insufficiency and hepatic failure
• 🐶 Portosystemic shunt (PSS)
• 🐶 Hepatic encephalopathy
• 🐶 Convalescence following intoxication

Key Ingredients & Their Benefits

• 🌱 Yellow Peas (20%) — Plant-based protein source with a lower biological value than meat, reducing ammonia production and easing the burden on the liver during hepatic insufficiency.
• 🥚 Eggs (14%) — Highly digestible, high biological value protein supporting muscle maintenance with minimal metabolic stress on the liver.
• 🍠 Sweet Potatoes — Highly digestible, low-glycaemic carbohydrate source providing sustained energy and supporting gut health.
• 🌾 Buckwheat — Gluten-free grain alternative providing digestible carbohydrates and antioxidant flavonoids supporting liver health.
• 🐟 Hydrolysed Turkey Protein (7%) & Salmon Oil (2%) — Highly digestible, pre-broken-down protein and Omega-3 fatty acids (0.6%) with anti-inflammatory properties supporting liver tissue recovery and cardiovascular health.
• 🌿 Milk Thistle Seeds (0.2%) — Contains silymarin, a potent hepatoprotective compound that supports liver cell regeneration, reduces inflammation, and protects against oxidative damage.
• 🍎 Apple Pulp — Natural source of pectin (soluble fibre) supporting healthy digestion and gut health.
• 🌿 Dried Algae – Ascophyllum nodosum (0.5%) — Natural marine algae supporting oral health, thyroid function, and overall wellbeing.
• 🍊 Sea Buckthorn (0.015%) — Natural antioxidant supporting immune function and liver mucosal health.
• 🧬 Beta-Glucans (0.02%) & Fructo-Oligosaccharides (FOS, 0.02%) & Mannan-Oligosaccharides (MOS, 0.022%) — Immune-modulating fibres and prebiotics supporting gut-associated immune function and balanced intestinal flora.
• 🥛 Enterococcus faecium DSM 10663/NCIMB 10415 (1×10⁹ CFU/kg) — Probiotic gut flora stabiliser supporting intestinal microbiome health and immune function.
• 🌿 Mojave Yucca (0.02%) — Supports nutrient absorption and reduces stool odour.
• 🥛 Taurine (2,200 mg/kg) — Supports healthy heart function, bile acid conjugation, and liver detoxification processes.
• 🔬 L-Carnitine (330 mg/kg) — Supports fat metabolism and energy production, helping maintain lean body mass during hepatic management.
• 🔬 Choline Chloride (2,200 mg/kg) — Essential nutrient supporting liver fat metabolism and preventing hepatic lipidosis.
• ✨ Vitamins & Minerals — Vitamins A (23,000 IU), D3 (1,000 IU), E (1,000 mg), C (500 mg), B1, B2, B6, B12, Niacin, Biotin, Folic Acid, Choline, Calcium Pantothenate, Zinc, Iron, Manganese, Iodine, and Selenium. Note: Very low copper (0.001%) — deliberately restricted to prevent copper accumulation in the liver, which is critical for dogs with hepatic disease.
