Detailed Description

Canine l/d®

For the Nutritional Management of Dogs with Liver Disease.

Your dog's liver is its largest internal organ and is responsible for ridding the body of toxins and many other functions. Prescription Diet® l/d® was created by veterinarians specifically for the nutritional management of dogs with liver disorders that cause reduced liver function. It is highly digestible, with high quality protein sources that reduce the liver workload and aid in the regeneration of liver tissue. Added antioxidant nutrients like Vitamin E, Vitamin C and selenium, help combat oxidative stress. The nutritional formulation of Prescription Diet® l/d® may also be useful for pets with a variety of conditions.

Daily Feeding Guide

These ranges are a starting point only. Your pet may need less or more food to maintain proper weight. Adjust as needed. If you are unsure, ask your veterinarian.

Keep fresh water available at all times!

With your veterinarian's approval, mix increasing amounts of your pet's new food with decreasing amounts of the old food over a 7-day period.

Canine l/d® is available in canned and dry. Supplementation with other foods is unnecessary and may decrease the effectiveness of the food.

When using with Canine l/d canned, decrease the amount of dry food to avoid overfeeding.
