Best kibble for dog with liver issues & tartar? Royal Canin alternative?

Question

Luke developed elevated LFT's after being fed Orijen puppy. Resolved after using Royal Canin Hepatic. Is there a better quality brand food out there (kibble) with the same benefits we can try? I do not feed canned food, and a home prepared diet will not be feasible with my lifestyle. I would like to stick with a kibble, and I am picky regarding quality. Secondly, he has significant tartar buildup despite only kibble and crunchy treats. I already brush his teeth and avoids H2O supplements. Pet's info: Dog | Toy Poodle | Male | neutered | 1 year and 1 month old | 4.5 lbs

Royal canin is one of the most effective prescription diets for lver conditions and if he is doing well I would be slow to change away from it unless you knew the underlying condition had been resolved. Hills l/d is a similar diet which you could also look at. If dental health is an issue despite regular brushing then a full dental exam and cleaning would be recommended as well as an assessment for any complicating factors such as retained puppy teeth or poor dental alignment
