n/d® Canine
For nutritional support of dogs undergoing chemotherapy
Dogs going under chemotherapy have special nutritional requirement. Because their body has difficulties obtaining enough energy during this time, food needs to be high in energy and nutrients and in an appetizing form, to encourage the recovery process.
At Hill's, nutritionists and veterinarians have developed clinical nutrition especially formulated to help dogs undergoing chemotherapy.
