I would not feed either of these foods to a liver compromised dog.
Red meat produces the most ammonia (toxins) which builds up and can cause neurological symptoms. It is hard on the liver. Organ meat is also not good. The dry contains unnamed animal ingredients. The amount of protein is important but the type is just as important. Remember that when feeding canned it has to be converted to a dry matter basis to get actual protein content. How much protein does the vet want your pup on?
