y/d Thyroid Care Dry Cat Food, Chicken, 8.5 lb. Bag

My cat has thyroid issues but can only tolerate a small dose of the medicine, because it causes severe itching in some cats. The Science Diet Thyroid food has been the magic fill in. I use it in combination with a small dose of the medicine and it works. I've gotten her the canned food & she will eat it off & on.

So my 5 stars is not for the quality of this cat food. Necessarily. Let me explain. If you read the ingredients the food is basically hard nuggets of corn with synthetic vitamins. Would not have touched my precious fur monster's lips before she got sick with hyperthyroidism. We always tried to feed her with the highest quality cat food we could find, all natural, high protein, etc. She got sick anyway. Initially, we were able to get her hyperthyroidism under control with methimazole. And then only a month or so after victorious vet visit where her T levels were normal, she started getting sores on her face and in her ears from the methimazole. Due to the separation period involved with radioactive iodine treatment, we decided to try the food. I was very reticent but after reading through reviews on Amazon (thank you reviewers) I began to think it could work. And it has so far. Our 13yo old cat is back to her normal spoiled self! Her fur is even shiny and she seems to enjoy her hard little corn pellets. We also feed her the canned Y/D but she seems to prefer the kibble overall.

What I need

My dearest 18 year old Siamese seems to be doing better with this food. I will do anything to keep him around, cause super smart and cool cats are hard to come by! yep, I even feed him lobsta meat on occasion. I love the looks I get at the fish market when Walter asks me if I want some tail meat for my cats, lol. hey, he has had to live with me all his life, so he deserves the best. I am glad to see him improving, and pray it continues. it is expensive, but how do you put a price on your best friend and loyal companion? I bought him a Siamese twin brother, but I got the type of Siamese that is unstable with that one. UPDATE: He is now 19 :) I just wonder if I can get this to him with 2 new kittens? He does give me the "WTF" stare when those 2 come prancing around, even after 4 months of us all in one house. Can kittens eat this stuff? Now that I have 4 cats, very hard to control who gets what since I free feed with dry food. And yes, litter duty is quite busy. The kittens love to watch me clean the boxes, why can't they learn to help? All that energy needs to be directed to a positive purpose! Other than basically tearing house apart!! 2 kittens together are amazing best freinds, but they play very hard, drop, and wake up to play harder later. Once the bedroom door closes, I swear I hear them say "party time"!

This is keeping my baby alive. She doesn't always prefer it but she is alive, well and happy.

my kitty loves it. he is on thyroid meds and this is his treat, specifically for thyroid

I've unofficially diagnosed my 16 year old cats with a thyroid condition . They fit all of the criteria with the matted hair , the insatiable appetite and the consistent vomiting. Just short of taking them to the vet I decided to try a little dietary intervention. I use this feed in addition to other thyroid support products and let me tell you the results have been tremendous. After eating this my cats become satiated they still have the occasional vomiting and their fur is still matted to which I have to brush it daily but this has made a tremendous difference. The only caveat is the price. $50 for a bag of kibble seems highly ridiculous however in comparison to vet bills and possible medication this may be level to what my expenses could be. I will continue to purchase this as long as my cats thrive. I just wish there were a cheaper alternative that gave the same results.

My senior kitty Athena had a severe UTI complete with bloody urine. She was straining to use her litter box. Her fur was oily and she was losing weight. Long story short (and $330 vet bill later) they gave her amoxicillin for her UTI. It seemed to help but then days after her meds ran out, she was still straining to go. She was manic, bouncing around always hungry. Looking into her symptoms, I found out it was really her hyper active thyroid. Since starting this diet (no other foods or treats) 7 days ago, she no longer strains to go, her fur isn’t oily and she has calmed down. I’m hopeful in a few weeks all will be resolved. I will definitely purchase this going forward. It’s cheaper to get this, than to pay a vet bill and still end up having to pay for the food anyway. I want to stress that if you have no idea what is wrong with your pet, see the vet first. Always.

猫の甲状腺機能障害に対応した商品で、かかりつけの動物病院では４０５０円でした。長く食べ続けるものなので、少しでもお安く買えるところを探していました。２袋食べ終える頃、２度目の血液検査をしたところ、数値が１２．０だったのが４．５まで下がっていました。食事療法だけでここまで効果が出たことがなによりうれしいです。続けていきたいです。

Bag was already opened when I received it. Unacceptable!

Al parecer se requiere receta para poder comprar este alimento en USA

y/dは製品としては良いのだがあまりたべなかった。味をよくすれば薬になるので猫が長生きする。
