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

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

My cat had a level of 15, and with the y/d diet (both canned and dry) she is down to a 5! She is gaining a little weight, uses the box less, and just seems generally happier. It's only been 4 weeks, but so far/so good! I do mix the canned food with warm water or she isn't thrilled with it. She used to demand flavor changes every few days, so I'm really surprised she is eating this after 4 weeks! I was really surprised to find that it is working, and I'm happy it is!!!

I had to return 23 cans of the case I bought. Max wouldn't touch it, nor would any of my other 6 cats. I read previous reviews about this same issue, but was willing to give it a try for the sake of my cats health. I think if Hills would address this problem, there would be much fewer bad reviews. That said, I WOULD recommend to someone else since their cat may eat it and benefit from it. It's worth a try, especially since Chewy.com has very generous return policies.

I would recommend this item to any cat owner whose pride and joy has a thyroid problem. My cat was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and lost five pounds. It happened extremely fast as well. I took her to the doctor, and this is what he recommended. This food brought her back to her normal weight. And even though she has to use it for the rest of her life, she still loves the taste. I think any owner would be very happy with this food.

The food for thyroid care in the can is very dry. Needs more moisture. I have bought other prescription can food c/d was not dry. I also bought c/n can food and it was not dry. It takes all day for my cat to eat half of a can of food. I have to add water or a small amount of low sodium chicken broth as suggested by Hills when I called them about the food.

My cat was diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism and the vet prescribed this food. I haven't found any other brands that offer a low iodine food for cats with hyperthyroidism. I wish there were other flavors to pick from. My cat will eat this, but I have to add water to it because it is a dry canned food. Chewy's prices are reasonable compared to what I had to pay at the vets office for this.

Kitty had decided to go on a starvation diet and it took a couple of days before she would even try the new prescription canned food. But once she did- she made up for lost time! I think she is on the road to recovery. And I was impressed with the speed of delivery. We both thank you.

my 17 year old cat, likes this food and is getting better. I do wish it were a bit more affordable. I may have to figure something else out, the cost for me with my cat's appetite is about $150.00....that's not cost effective.

This may be great but my cat will not eat it so the benefits are not there back to the pill form 2 times a day which he hates as well lots of money wasted but if your cat eats it perfect excellent shipping love that

My 17 year old kitty has Hyperthyroidism and takes medication prescribed by his Veterinarian but still was not doing very well -- losing weight, throwing up etc. She suggested Science Diet's Thyroid Care Rx cat food. He loves it and is doing so much better since starting this cat food. It has helped him so much.
