Liver Health
The liver is your cat's largest internal organ with many functions, including the digestion and
conversion of nutrients, the removal of toxic substances from the blood and the storage of
vitamins and minerals. The liver has an amazing ability to repair and regenerate itself, and
nutrition plays a vital role in this process.
At Hill's, nutritionists and veterinarians have developed clinical nutrition especially formulated to help support your cat's liver
function during its healing process.

These amounts are a starting point only. Your cat may need less or more food to maintain proper weight. Adjust
as needed. If you are unsure, or if you are feeding Prescription Diet® l/d® Feline Hepatic Health to a kitten,
ask your veterinarian.
With your veterinarian's approval, mix increasing amounts of your cat's new food with decreasing amounts of the old food
over a 7-day period.
Prescription Diet® formulas are available in a wide variety of dry foods and treats for your cat's unique needs, and canned
foods with delicious flavors your cat will love. Supplementation with other foods or treats is unnecessary and may decrease
the effectiveness of the food. When using with canned food and treats, decrease the amount of dry food to avoid
overfeeding.
Keep fresh water available at all times!
For best results, have your veterinarian monitor your cat's condition.
