1. Q: How does this food support liver health?
   A: This formula provides high-quality, easily digestible proteins from chicken, egg, and pea protein, which help reduce the liver’s workload while maintaining essential amino acid levels for recovery and regeneration.
   
   
2. Q: Why are the protein sources gentle on the liver?
   A: Chicken, egg, and pea protein are low in ammonia-producing compounds, making them suitable for cats with compromised liver function, minimizing toxin buildup in the bloodstream.
   
   
3. Q: How does it support digestion and nutrient absorption?
   A: Beet pulp and chicory root are natural sources of fiber and prebiotics, promoting healthy gut flora and efficient nutrient absorption—essential for cats with hepatic conditions.
   
   
4. Q: What role does fish oil play in this diet?
   A: Fish oil provides omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA), which have anti-inflammatory properties that support liver tissue health and overall metabolic balance.
   
   
5. Q: Why does this food contain corn and rice derivatives?
   A: Corn and corn protein meal supply highly digestible energy and help maintain stable blood sugar levels, supporting cats that need a steady source of non-protein calories to reduce liver strain.
   
   
6. Q: Is this food suitable for long-term feeding?
   A: Yes, it’s formulated for long-term nutritional management of liver disease, ensuring cats receive complete and balanced nourishment while supporting liver recovery and maintenance.
