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

We have the most stubborn 18 year old cat with hyperthyroid. I have been slowly been increasing the percentage of this in her food for about 6 weeks now. She is reluctantly and slowly transitioning. I add about a tablespoon of hot water to warm it up a bit and put a little moisture into it. It's super dry and pasty. Also, I had to stop free feeding. She has to be a little hungry and ready for a meal.

My 16 year old cat was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and the vet provided a prescription for this food because it is very low in iodine. I loved the idea of not having to put my cat on meds, and to just manage her disease with diet. I went to the Chewy website and found that there was only one kind of y/d canned cat food made - chicken (which is her least favorite.) I ordered it anyway because there was no other option, but unfortunately, she would not touch the food. I tried mixing it with water, mixing it with other food, sprinkling treats on top, and she would have none of it! Looks like I will be returning 23 of the 24 cans I ordered! Props to Chewy for making the process easy though My 16 year old cat was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and the vet provided a prescription for this food because it is very low in iodine.

My 15 y/o cat was not showing any signs of thyroid issues. Her high level was found in blood test taken for an ear infection... Started the dry and wet Y/D food in Sept 2018, and re-checked the level in Oct 2018. She went from a 7 to a 4. (Vet said good level is a 2) Will check level again in 6 months. She does not eat any other food or treats (per my Vets instruction)

My cat is still eating it but becoming bored. It's helping his hyperthyroidism but for how long if he walks away from boredom? Please hurry with another flavor and how about some treats? Can't be that difficult. Also, worried about my healthy cat, she's on this too but I'm worried about her having to eat this as well.

My 12 year old Kitty has been eating the Hills Prescription y/d Thyroid care with Chicken Canned Cat Food for 3 weeks now. He is doing great! He went to the vet and his Thyroid count is normal now and he’s gaining weight. The vet is happy and so am I. My kitty is feeling much better. He is not on any medication, just the canned food.

My finicky 15 year old female was same way. Turned up her nose and refused to touch either the dry or wet thyroid care. As others have said, try mixing a few drops of water (about a teaspoon MOL) (I used distilled, better than faucet no added taste) and just a tiny spoonful (actual measured teaspoon full) of the Fancy Feast gravy lovers or creamy. Mix it all together. Works like a charm and doesn't interfere with their thyroid levels. Just be sure its a tiny amount just to flavor it better and the water to make it as a pate.

I have a cat with thyroid issues that has been prescribed the y/d wet and dry foods. He is OBSESSED with the wet food! Chewy made it so easy to order, and my little Bruce loves his food so much.

Recently a very sick kitty came into my life. Nobody wanted her. Vet diagnosed her with hyperthyroidism and recommended a dermal medication and thyroid beneficial diet. After receiving a case of Hills Prescription thyroid diet canned food, cat will not eat it. She did eat it initially for 2 days and has not since. Guess I am just stuck with it all the unused cans.

Bobo has not every eaten wet food, when he first lost weight we started him on Ad. He loved it. The Yd just is to dry if I put a little of the ad on top he will eat it.

I wasn't sure my hyperthyroid cat would eat this. At first, he wasn't very thrilled with it, and I ended up throwing most of it away. But after three weeks of eating nothing but the prescription dry food, I thought I would offer it to him again. This time, I only put a spoonful in a bowl, and mixed it with a few drops of water. (He was used to the grocery store cat food "with gravy.") By adding just a touch of water, the food broke down into a more "pate" texture. By golly, he ate most of it. At this point, almost a month into treatment, I am putting a large spoonful (with a few drops of water) down for him in the evenings, and he has the dry formula available during the day, and that seems to I wasn't sure my hyperthyroid cat would eat this.

Less than 5 stars because I would like to see some choices in this line: maybe different flavors or textures, since my cats are so particular. (My female still won't touch this stuff - it took me more than a month to convince that rescue that canned cat food was for eating after spending the first part of her life eating nothing but dry.) Still, the alternative of expensive radiation or trying to shove a pill down his throat are far less palatable! And the female is happy enough with the dry food with supplemental treats. … more
