Examples of Home-prepared Diets Adapted to the Treatment for Liver Diseases
Example 1
Composition (1000 g diet) | |
Chicken, breast with skin | 220 g |
Rice, cooked | 680 g |
Carrots (boiled, drained) | 60 g |
Wheat bran | 20 g |
Rapeseed oil | 20 g |
Add a low-sodium and low-copper mineral and vitamin supplement.
Indicative Rationing | |||
Energy Value (metabolizable energy) 1355 kcal/1000 g of Diet Prepared (2380 kcal/1000 g DM) | |||
Dog’s weight (kg)* | Daily amount (g)** | Dog’s weight (kg)* | Daily amount (g)** |
2 | 160 | 45 | 1670 |
4 | 270 | 50 | 1800 |
6 | 370 | 55 | 1940 |
10 | 540 | 60 | 2070 |
15 | 730 | 65 | 2200 |
20 | 910 | 70 | 2320 |

35 | 1380 | 85 | 2690 |
40 | 1530 | 90 | 2800 |
*The rationing is offered in accordance with the dog’s healthy weight. In case of obesity, the rationing must be prescribed in accordance with the ideal weight and not the real weight of the dog. **The fractioning of the daily amount over two or three meals is recommended to limit the postprandial hepatic load. | |||
Key Points
- Reduce the copper content to limit the risk of copper accumulation in the liver
- Reduce the sodium content to reduce portal hypertension and limit the loss of fluid through the extra-luminal space
- Increase the energy level to prevent the risk of excessive protein catabolism and combat hepatic encephalopathy
