Diet
What foods you feed your dog to support his liver health is very important. There are many factors to consider when supporting the liver. To reduce the workload on the liver as much as possible, the quality of the protein being fed is very important. High quality protein, low ammonia producing foods and in some cases low salt intake are necessary. The diets below have been specifically developed to work in combination with our Canine Liver Health program. Please do not feed your dog a commercially prepared diet or any processed foods (wet or dry) while on our program as this may reduce the effectiveness of the program overall.
Please offer only filtered drinking water to your dog, do not give him tap water.

Hi and welcome to Five Leaf Pet Botanicals. My name is Amanda Banting, I am a Herbalist and the founder of Five Leaf Pet Botanicals.
We have been helping dogs live happier, healthier, longer lives for over 21 years. I started helping others by encouraging them to adopt a natural lifestyle for their pets after my dog Tom’s health took a serious turn back in 2002 and I was able to turn him around with natural support.
Five Leaf Pet Botanicals was not started as a business venture, it was started out of necessity for my dog and then yours. Since 2002 I have personally spoken with over 20,000 pet owners who have given me feedback and new ideas. This is a large part of why our herbal formulae and programs are so effective. We don’t just assume a certain herb works because we read it somewhere. I’m proud to say that Five Leaf Pet Botanicals knows what works because we use herbs and nutrition and see the results first hand. Using the highest quality organic and wild harvested herbs enables us to offer what we think is the best natural support available to obtain optimum health in your dog.
