Indication
PRO-VET® Hepatic complete and balanced specialized dry diet for dogs of all breeds and ages to support the liver function in chronic liver insufficiency; also suitable for reducing cystine and urate stone formation.
Liver failure (hepatic failure) is a serious deterioration of liver functions. This can occur suddenly (acute liver failure) or develop over a long period of time (chronic liver failure). The basis for the development of acute liver failure is a violation of the compensating capacities and functions of the liver. The cause of this can be hereditary, such as a hereditary copper accumulation in the liver, but can also be caused by a viral infection.
Timely diagnosis of acute liver failure can be cured with proper treatment. With chronic liver failure, only the current state of the liver can be supported to prevent or delay further deterioration of liver functions, but the disease cannot be cured.
PRO-VET® Hepatic is a diet low in protein, copper and natrium for patients with liver failure undergoing a treatment or in convalescent periods, and can also be taken as a preventive diet to protect a healthy liver function.
PRO-VET® Hepatic is due to its low content in protein and purine and its adjusted pH-level, also ideally suited for dogs suffering from cystine and urate stones.
Efficacy
| CHARACTERISTIC | EFFECT |
| Low Protein Content | Decreases the formation of ammonium in the liver and helps to reduce the risk of hepatic encephalopathy. Has a positive influence on the reduction of the development of cystine- and urate stone formation. |
| High Content of Fermentable Fibers. | Stimulates in the colon the attachment of bacterial protein to nitrogen, reducing herewith the formation of ammonia and supporting thereby the liver function. |
| Adjusted Urine pH 6.7, Low Content of Purine. | Works preventive against the formation of urate- and cystine stones, decreases the development of acidosis. |
| Low Copper (Cu) Content. | Decreases the copper accumulation in cells and supports thereby the liver function. |
| Added L-Carnitine | Stimulates the use of lipids by the liver and ensures a high energy requirement for this organ. PRO-VET Hepatic contains L-Carnitine of 300 mg/kg |
| Low Sodium (Na) Content. | Contributes to the control of portal hypertension and ascites. |
| High content of essential fatty acids. | Helps to reduce inflammatory reactions. |
| Rich in Natural Antioxidants. | Decreases the formation of free radicals. Helps to prevent the age-related decline of tissue structures. |

Directions for use: The kibbles are ready to be eaten. Make sure that you always provide plenty of fresh and available drinking water for your dog. Regularly clean food and water bowls. Store in a cool dry place, away from direct sunlight. Feeding guide: Because each dog has different requirements, the recommended daily quantities on the packaging should only be used as a guide. This is a guide only as an individual dog’s requirements will vary depending on various factors including breed, activity level, metabolism, age and environment. Feeding quantities should be adjusted to suit your individual dog’s requirements. The amount of feed the best to divide into two meals per day.
One may consult a veterinarian before use or continuation of this diet.
The recommended duration of use to support the liver function: initially maximum six (6) months*

Storage
While dry food will not spoil as rapidly as other types of food, it does not last indefinitely. Always make sure that you use such foods before the expiration date. Keep the food dry and store it inside the bag it came in; we design the bags to resist moisture and airflow. The best way to store a large bag of dog or cat food is to place the original bag inside a clean plastic pail or container with a secure lid. Do not store dry food in humid rooms, as damp conditions will accelerate spoiling. Always roll the top of the bag down tightly and cinch it closed with a clip. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that pet owners keep dry foods and treats in locations that do not exceed 23 °C (degrees Calsius) or 74 °F (degrees Fahrenheit).
A healthy dog is a happy dog.
