Hills Prescription Diet Cat Y/D Thyroid Care Dry Food 1.8kg

We tried different medication for my hyperthyroid cat and he HATED them all. It got so this once loving cat would run and hide when he saw me or my husband approaching him, and we were desperate to find another solution. He was not a candidate for iodine treatment, for many reasons, and we decided to try this food as a last resort, even though we were skeptical that simply changing his diet could possibly impact his condition in a meaningful way. Boy, were we wrong! This food has been so effective that after only 4 weeks his bloodwork is greatly improved and well on the way back to normal levels. And his behavior and attitude are back to normal, too - sweet and loving and happy to see us! He's always been finicky and fickle, but he took to the food right away, both ... MoreWe tried different medication for my hyperthyroid cat and he HATED them all.

And his behavior and attitude are back to normal, too - sweet and loving and happy to see us! He's always been finicky and fickle, but he took to the food right away, both the dry and the canned. In fact, he really loves the canned food - it is rather dry but we mix it with a little water and he eats it right up. The only problem now is that the canned is impossible to find! Fortunately the dry food seems to be readily available, so we're relying on that until we can once again get the canned as well. BTW - the vet suggested that our cat drink distilled water instead of tap water, to make sure he's not getting any possible extra iodine from the water.

My cat has Hyperthyroidism at age 12 and was showing the worst of symptoms: Dandruff/Shedding of coat, hunger, increased urination, increased water intake- the works. My vet and I had tried pills 2 times a day to combat this, but she had an absorption problem, rendering the pills useless. My vet recommended this food for her. My cat's health comes before anything else, so the flavor of the food isn't an issue, but it would be nice to give her certain flavors that she would enjoy...you know, considering this is the ONLY thing your cat can ever eat again. That's right, no treats, no Sheba cat food, not even a speck of ham or turkey. I lucked out that my picky eater will tolerate the food. I'm hoping to see continued improvement in the coming weeks and reccomend this ... MoreMy cat has Hyperthyroidism at age 12 and was showing the worst of symptoms: Dandruff/Shedding of coat, hunger, increased urination, increased water intake- the works.

I'm hoping to see continued improvement in the coming weeks and reccomend this as a powerful alternative to pills or the expensive surgery or radiation therapy. It appears all online vendors are the same price, but your vet is likely to have coupons, so I would order with them if possible. Good luck to anyone who wants their baby to be happy snd healthy living with an over active thyroid! ;]

I have been feeding my two elderly cats on the hills thyroid dry diet for 2 years and it has worked well in controlling the hyper active thyroids: hills then changed the formula and both cats vomited, had diarrhea and completely stopped eating. One cat had to go onto drip for two days, the other had to have meds to stimulate appetite. I will never trust hills again. I rang them and they told me there were 3 changes to formula but they were minor and should not have affected them. There was no notice on the packaging.
