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

This food has lower iodine which does help a cat lower their t4 levels. I have been using this on a cat that also is taking the pills . And it has helped keep his thyroid levels normal. HOWEVER dont just feed this to your cat alone like they suggest. The cat will get tired of the formula and crave other things after a while. Had this happen before . But if you use it along with a NO fish diet and medications . I believe Its a big help rather than upping the methimozole as this has bad side effects as well. So keeping meds to a minimum. Is a PLUS !..4 stars for the high price.. they took out iodine and charge more for the corn.

Smokey is a 17 year old, Gray, Female, 6 lbs. Smokey was diagnosed with a Thyroid condition and the Vet recommended I purchase Hills Prescription Diet Thyroid Food. Chewy had the Hill's Rx Cat food in stock. I ordered the food, the food was delivered to the house in a couple of days. Also, the uploading of Smokey's Prescription from the Vet was easy to do. I enjoy doing business with Chewy.

My girl Daisy has been using this food along with the Y/D canned food for exactly one year. She cannot take the thyroid medicine so this was the second option we had & I am so glad this is working for her. Just had her labs done 2wks ago & the vet said "keep doing what you're doing everything is normal." This food is worth every penny!

My vet prescribed this food for my senior cat. She was loosing weight, and not feeling well at all. Within a few weeks she was back to her old self, putting weight back on and thriving. This was 4 years ago and she is still doing great. She loves both the wet and dry. I do not feed her anything else, just the y/d. This food truly saved her life!!

The thyroid pills the vet prescribed almost killed me but after a night in the hospital hooked up to an IV and switching to the y/d Thyroid Care Dry Food, I began to recover and add back some of the weight lost and I'm beginning to regain my interest in life. Only problem is, I wish someone would come up with snacks for thyroid impaired cats. I'm getting bored eating the same thing every meal. On a separate note: The canned y/d is inedible after the first serving so my human has to throw the rest of the can away.

Can’t say anything better than this works. Within a week, we saw our 10 yr old cat improve in her demeanor and energy. Mixed half and half with her normal food, and it did the job.

My 17 year old cat had a terrible reaction to the thyroid medicine, to the point where she was itching herself so much she was drawing blood and acting like more of a space cadet than usual. This food, combined with the wet food, saved my cat's life! All her symptoms of thyroid problems cleared up in a few weeks when we switched. She appears to enjoy the taste, though she is not picky.

We have spent 3 YEARS and THOUSANDS of dollars trying to help our now 13 year old cat. We have done everything. Endless bloodwork. Ultrasounds. Trying endless types of food and medications. It was determined that our cat had very bad hyperthyroidism which led to two bouts of pancreatitis. Unfortunately the methimazole for his thyroid seemed to make him vomit and have awful diarrhea. We tried liquid and pill methimazole and both would induce vomiting right away. We switched to the ear method with a twist gel and it seemed to somewhat help. But the poor cat still had awful diarrhea. They tried steroids, fortiflora, having us switch to hyper-allergenic foods, etc. Still bad.

At my cat's check-up a month ago, we were told that his thyroid got way worse again and they wanted to DOUBLE his medication dose. I told him I suspected the medicine makes him ill. That's when I found reviews regarding this food online. I was upset that our vet didn't think to have us try it - especially because the other hyper-allgenic food was VERY expensive. This is pricey, yes, but not as pricey as we were paying with additional medicine and the other food. I asked our vet about trying this food and she said we could try it but to keep expectations low and keep him on his low dose (just not do the double dose of methimazole). Ya'll. After ONE MONTH on this food, we had bloodwork done on our cat. The vet called us absolutely amazed and wanted to know what we have been doing differently. Our cat's thyroid levels are perfect. We still have him on the lower dose, but I am wondering if he will be able to go off medication all together in the future. Better still, our cat isn't vomiting. He no longer has diarrhea. This food has truly been a life saver for our cat. Give it a try! Note: We took two weeks to break in the food by giving him slightly more mixed with old food every day. … more

My 14 yr old with hyperthyroidsm was just put on this dry food- So the verdict is out - but he loves it an I am hopeful - It's expensive, but worth it if we can correct this via nutrition - Prayers.

My cat was recently diagnosed with high thyroid levels. After trying a medicine, he did not tolerate it well. Our vet recommended changing his diet to food for hyperthyroidism. He really likes his new food. Very happy since he is a picky eater. Waiting for follow up blood work, fingers crossed this helps his thyroid.
