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

No one ever knows what a cat will agree to eat. I was really worried that she wasn't going to like this because it's prescription and costs a fortune, so naturally you'd think the cats would hate it. But apparently it tastes really good because my other cats push her out of the way to eat this. I had to put it in a microchipped feeder to keep the others out. I JUST got this, so I can't fairly say how it will work for her hyperthyroidism, but honestly with 6 cats and free-feeding my method is *not the recommended way* to keep it as her sole source of food. I'm using it as a stop-gap until I can get her radioiodine treatment in a month. She has been STARVING and eating constantly and wasting away No one ever knows what a cat will agree to eat.

She has been STARVING and eating constantly and wasting away fast, so I'm hoping to reduce her iodine intake in any way possible. That said, I'm really sorry to hear about the people who got old food. That's terrible. But I'm thinking it must be a localized warehouse problem because the stuff I got was fine. … more

My 13yo cat was not tolerating the thyroid medication, and my vet gave me some of this food to try. It's a miracle, truly. My cat is the pickiest eater, but she loves this food--both the wet and dry. The wet food is a strange consistency, and it is dark around the edges, but I mix it really well with warm water and she absolutely loves it--even the leftovers! I'm so grateful to find something she is willing to eat AND that helps her thyroid be less active. She meows at me less during the day, and I think it's because her belly is full and she feels content.

My 12 year old rescue cat was on the medication for hyperthyroidism for a few weeks but had such bad reaction we had to take him off of it. Vet recommended this Hill's y/d so we bought a case of wet (only one flavor) & a bag of the dry both of which were very expensive!! Rocky (cat) hates both and refuses to eat any of it! Poor Rocky has to go out hunting for any rodents that he can kill because he is so HUNGRY!!! It is so unfair to these generally older cats to have this horrible cat food the only thing on the market for them to eat!!

My vet prescribed this food for my cat's condition hoping it would help as the medication he needs makes him very sick and so far so good, it seems to be helping and he likes it. I also bought the dry version to use as snacks for him as my vet asked me not to give him the Temptations any more, he likes that too. I only wish it came in a smaller can because he doesn't always eat all of it in one day and hates leftovers the next day.

My 12 yr old rescues who still act like kitties were diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. They have been throwing up food as well as just liquid. We used meds Vet gave us which definitely helped. But one was not fan of rubbing serum in tip of ear. So we tried this Hill’s thyroid canned along with dry. So far so good. Throwing & spitting up significantly less. And they both like it! Will keep using it. Much easier than having to give those meds!

We thought this was the answer to our cat's extreme hyperthyroidism, which it would have been, but....the food in the can is so old, my cat won't eat it. Where the food meets the can, there is a dark layer of dark, cardboard-like food, that my cat wont eat, and the rest of the food is dry and clearly very old. Food has likely been in the cans for years, and....very like sitting in a sweltering warehouse. I complained about the first case...and they did kindly send me a replacement....but almost all of the cases are like this. Great idea, but poor quality, and the food is largely inedible. Don't waste your money. Go get the thyroid shot....cheaper in the long run.

Unfortunately my cat just won't eat the remaining portions from the fridge. He only eats about a 1/4 at a time so the rest just goes to waste. Once I put the can in the fridge, he won't touch it, even after adding warm water or microwaving it. I've seen other people asking for it....make this in much smaller cans!

My hyperthyroid cats will not take a pill so this was their best treatment option. One cat will not touch it. My other cat eats it but with no enthusiasm. It is a very hard texture and difficult to mash right out of the can. Have tried warming slightly, adding water to soften and even to make into a mush. Nothing makes it appealing. Regretfully it only comes in the chicken flavor. Some cats don’t like chicken! And why in only a large can?

At 1st she liked the dry then she wouldn’t eat it. Had a couple of cans from the vet. I mix it with warm water and mash it up, Pepper seems to like it that way. It’s strange consistency straight fr the can. I give her some dry food also. The dry is def easier but if she up chucks it leaves a yellow stain. Wish there was another option for hyperthyroidism. But the food has helped her. Gained weight and not starving. Sleeping more,probably since more content. So will have to buy both!

My cat Marlowe is really finicky, I mean REALLY finicky. But she loves this food! Thank God for that. Her thyroid levels are through the roof and she makes it impossible to administer a pill. THis is a win win. Thank you Hill's and Chewy.
