Hill's Prescription Diet y/d Thyroid Care with Chicken Canned Cat Food, 5.5-oz, case of 24

I’ve been giving my Cat this food for years now and he eats it begrudgingly. However, my last order of 24 cans came with some cans mushier/wetter than others. Of course my cat absolutely loved that and now won’t eat the other cans. I tried mixing the cans together but he somehow knows that I do that and won’t touch the food. It’s making me question whether the mushy can is bad (all other cans I’ve bought before have not been mushy) or whether the pate version is bad. Either way it is weird that they aren’t the same and that my cat can tell. Now I’m dealing with a crazy kitty again who doesn’t want to eat and I’m left worried. It’s so expensive too. This shouldn’t be happening.

If your cat has hyperthyroidism from my experience this is the best route to take. The radioactive iodine is something I have done on a prior cat and it causes problems and the medication causes problems and this is a simple fix provided you can make sure and not feed your cat any other food ever. My cat's hyperthyroidism diminished and she became normal with this food. However I am close to buying this food local. I want to evaluate my experience otherwise but they will not post my review if I post anything here about service.

We got this food for our 13-yr old bengal/tabby in hopes of avoiding radiation treatment. Her stools were watery with the new diet, so we stirred in some cooked sweet potato and that did the trick. After a few months, her thyroid levels are now in the normal range!

My cat is still getting used to her new food after being diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. She’s not thrilled with the pate and eats only small amounts, leaving the rest to harden & waste. I think she would eat more if there was a bisque.

Boo was diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism in April. We tried the methimazole but he is allergic. Radial iodine procedure or surgery are minimum $3k here, so not an option for us. I was hoping this food would be OK. Unfortunately, he doesn't like it at all. We tried the 7 day transition, but he just won't eat this. I tried adding a little water to it, but it didn't help. If this is all there is, he stops eating and cries for food. Also, despite this being a low iodine product, I was surprised to see this "chicken flavor" food is primarily pork. Pork is very high in fat and naturally high in sodium, both things I would expect harmful for a cats diet.

He does eat a little of the dry version but not crazy about it either, so I have returned him to his favorite Weruva foods, which doesn't help with his disease, but at least he eats. I'm not sure sure what to do now, but will continue searching for other options. Unfortunately, this food isn't it. … more

I am so appreciative of your services! My cat, age about 14 years, has shown some health issue but because of his earlier years and his skitchy behaviors, I avoided taking him to the vet. Fearing the worst, I finally took him and he is now on thyroid care prescription food. I really didn't expect it to be available on your site, but discovered it here along with your securing the authorization for me to purchase it per my vet. Thank you, thank you! You've made this painless!!

I think the item itself is just fine. I mean, it is a prescription diet for my cat which seems to work well. What can one say? The issue I have, however, it that a significant number of the food cans I received were dented/banged up without any damage to the shipping box itself. I inspected each can and fortunately none of the seals on the cans were broken. I also purchased a couple of silicon covers for the cans which are not going to give a good seal on the can in every case because of the dents.

There is no way that I can get my kitty to eat this and even my younger cats look at it in disgust. I wish I could return the case of this as it is so darn expensive.

My veterinarian recommended this for my cat's hyperthyroidism. She's a finicky eater so I was concerned she may not like it, but she loves it!! Gobbles it down. Her system gets upset easily (diarrhea), but as long as I feed her several small meals throughout the day, she's fine, no diarrhea.

My cat won’t eat this at all. It has questionable ingredients - but I gave it a try for my cat. She ate maybe 1/4 can - left the rest every time.
