Hill's describes it as "clinical nutrition to support liver health and help protect vital liver function." It is a dry kibble formulated for adult dogs, and the first five ingredients on the label are Brewers Rice, Chicken, Chicken Fat, Egg Product, and Soybean Meal. Hill's lists ingredients by pre-cooking weight, so the order shows what goes into the recipe before processing, not the finished proportions. It comes in 17.6 lb. Hill's product page states: "Ask your veterinarian for specific feeding instructions for your pet. Have your veterinarian monitor your pet's condition." Whatever food ends up in the bowl, a single ingredient freeze dried topper is a way to add interest without changing the diet, which is what Sniff and Shift makes in Malvern, Pennsylvania. Ask your veterinarian before feeding any therapeutic diet.
