Hepatic is a complete dietary food that can be used for specific liver problems. Given the significant role of the liver in fat processing and lipid metabolism regulation, it is important to provide substances that support liver metabolism. The food is enriched with these so-called lipotropic factors (e.g., L-carnitine, lecithin, and choline).

Certain dog breeds are known to carry a genetic abnormality that allows copper to accumulate in the liver. When a large amount of copper enters the body through the diet, this can lead to severe liver tissue damage. Hepatic food for dogs has a reduced copper level to prevent this accumulation.
