Hill's Prescription Diet

Hill's Prescription Diet l/d Dry review

We don't put a score on this food. It is a veterinary diet, formulated for a diagnosed condition and meant to be fed on a vet's advice. Your vet has seen your dog and we have not, so a number from us could only pull you towards their advice or away from it, and neither of those is ours to do. What follows is what the label declares, what the analysis works out at, and where to buy it, with no judgement attached to any of it.

l/d is the dry liver diet in Hill's Prescription Diet range, built around plant protein sources and a lowered protein level. The maker aims it at dogs whose liver condition is being managed under veterinary care.

DryAdult

Hill's dry liver diet, built on plant protein at a lowered level for dogs whose liver condition is managed by a vet. Fat comes second on the list and energy reaches 407 kcal per 100g, so a smaller bowl carries the calories. We do not score veterinary diets, so this page sets out the label and leaves the judgement to your vet.
