24 reviews forHill's Prescription Diet Feline y/d Thyroid Care - Chicken

My 18 year old tom has been a different cat since we introduced this food. He has regained some of the lost weight and is a lot more like his old self now. He is less hungry and a lot less thirsty. I use small amounts of the food throughout the day chopped into small mouth-sized pieces. This is easier for him than thinning it down with water. Without this food we wouldn't have him with us now.

The food seems to have kept my cat's interest over the last month or two. I am only now feeding her the Thyroid Care dry and wet foods. Like other reviewers have mentioned, I water the wet food down considerably and chop it up finely, until it's in a medium soupy form and this seems to work for her. Once in this condition, you only need to add water and food to the bowl when necessary, for a while before changing. Overall, her condition has improved dramatically since changing to this food.

This food (dry and wet) has, quite literally, saved my cat's life. She was diagnosed aged 13 with hyperthyroidism and we decided to use food to try to treat it. The food has to be used exclusively. My cat likes the soft food but we also feed her the dry y/d. She likes it but she only ever eats a tiny portion at a time. We refrigerate the rest and use over several days. If we put out too much, she will go back after the first sitting, but won't eat it. The consistency could be better.

Our boy had a leg amputated following bone cancer and is getting on, so when we discovered he was hyperthyroid we wanted to avoid surgery. Medication was a disaster, sick everywhere, and he looked awful, so we gave this a try and are so glad we did. OK it's really boring, but he eats the meat and crunchies happily every day. He's put weight back on and is much chirpier. But you MUST be rigid about not giving anything else except loads of water.
