Hill's Prescription Diet y/d Thyroid Care Original Dry Cat Food

I put in an order for Hills Prescription Science Diet food for my cat which required a prescription from the vet. I placed it on a Wednesday. The prescription was verified on Thursday and the food was shipped out on Friday. I received the food on Saturday, one day proceeding shipment. That was the day my cat was going to run out of food so I was relieved it came so fast. Mega satisfied and will use Chewy again.

When our cat ,10, was diagnosed (after an expensive blood test) with hyperthyroidism we started down this path. We bought both the dry and canned food using the 20off new member. Chewy was terrific and immediately replaced the super dented side of the case of cans for free. It arrived immediately. Our cat dislikes the canned food so I mix a small amount of the friskies stuff he loves to get down. The dry food is a complete success! Cat weight has significantly increased. I’m considering dropping the canned food from the diet. At 8$per pound it’s crazy expensive. Any suggestions?

The vet did bloodwork on Pepper and she has hyperthyroidism. So we had to do the Hills prescription diet. I wasn’t sure if she will eat it . The vet gave me some cans and dry to try I it started with canned food, and it didn’t go over too big but she seem to take to the dry food which I was surprised because she hasn’t really eaten dry food. I had ordered the canned originally but I called to see if I could change it to the dry food before it was shipped and they did it and I got it pretty quickly. It’s been about three weeks and I do see a difference in her body way and she seems more content. So I guess the thyroid problem had been for a while and I was not aware of it.

It's too soon to tell if this will help our cat's thyroid problem, but she LOVES the food. She seems to be less desperately hungry, so in that way it seems like it's working, so fingers crossed!

My Boy is about 10 and his last bloodwork showed slightly elevated T4 levels, I dont want to put him on medication, so I decided to try the food! Going back in a couple weeks to have his levels retested, will update...if your kitty isn’t fond of the wet food, put some water in it and mix it all in good, it gives them a gravy and sometimes putting in the microwave for 5-7 seconds helps. What really worked for me, I would put some on his paw, he’d lick it off, the go right to the food and start eating! Lol no clue why but it seems to work!

I am giving the review because of the good service, so far so good on the food.only been just over a week. My cat Lucky, did not do well on the meds for hyperthyroidism. Just hope this works. She eats the hard food well, I put a little water in the soft food and she tolerates it.

I had read that most cats don't care for the taste of the dry y/d, however, our cat won't eat moist or wet food AT ALL!! After a couple of days, she eventually started eating the new food and we hope this will lower her iodine levels and get her back to a normal range.

This food is a last resort for feline hyperthyroidism if methimazole is not tolerated by the cat and radioactive iodine is not an option based an age of cat and/or very high cost.There is no meat in this formula. The protein comes from....are you ready....corn.But I had no other option, so I have to feed him this junk.

My cat did not like the food. She threw it up, every time she attempted to eat it. So, wish it would have worked, she needs it for her condition. Hope to try the soft food, maybe she will accept it.

Annie was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism 8 - 10 months ago. Since her veterinary doctor placed her on this diet, she has improved and by having only this dry and wet food to eat, her bloodwork has come back in line to normal. Thank you to Chewy for carrying both the wet and dry forms of this food.
