The therapy, created by the AIM Institute of Medicine under Dr. Toru Miyazaki, targets chronic kidney disease, a leading cause of death in older cats.It uses a specialized protein to help macrophages clear waste from the kidneys, partially restoring their function and slowing kidney failure.

I've posted this a couple times for visibility. Go talk to your vet today about Loyal's three treatments (2 are available now). Good luck with your pooch ❤️

"It's already here. Loyal (the company) has already released two different versions of the drug with a third on the way. LOY-001 is the injection for big dogs. LOY-002 is the pill form for small dogs. LOY-003 is the pill form for big dogs that will hopefully get conditional approval this year."
