      Does what it needs to do

      It’s very expensive but unfortunately we need it for our Neo who was born with a liver shunt. The quality of the food is good.

      Effective but expensive

      My old Labrador has severe liver disease, and this product appears to be slowing down its progression. He loves it -but he’s a Labrador, so he loves all food! Unfortunately though it’s very expensive, which we’re prepared to pay but would make keeping a dog on this diet very difficult for some. We need to purchase a bag every 3 weeks. A larger bag that cost less per kilo would be useful.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Dry diets should be stored in their original bags and resealed between feeding. Most small bags include a re-sealable zipper. If the bag does not have this feature, it’s recommended to keep the product in the original bag and store in a dry, airtight plastic or steel container with a lid.

    For dry diets, palatability of the kibble remains at its best for one month after the bag is opened, however will be fine for up to two months so long as the bag is stored properly, in a cool, dry, airtight container.

    Introducing your pet onto a new diet should done gradually over 5 - 7 days to avoid the possibility of digestive upset. We suggest:


        Mix 25% of your new diet with 75% of your pet’s previous diet for 2 or 3 days

        Then mix the two diets 50% and 50% for 2 or 3 days

        Then mix 75% of the new diet with 25% of the previous diet for 2 or 3 days

        You can now try feeding with 100% of the new diet.
