A lifesaver if I can get him to eat

Meowsa

1 month ago
This food works, but my cat doesn’t like the taste. He is a large cat, at one time 10+ pounds, but lost weight due to hyperthyroidism. We tried the pills, but he developed an intolerance for them. For three years I gave the canned food, mixed with chicken stock that I made from chicken legs that had been untreated. This was the only way he would eat the food, and he continued to lose weight without it. It worked! He gained about half a pound and his blood work was back to normal. Just this year however, he began losing weight and again his thyroid was over-producing. His numbers weren’t anywhere near what they were when first diagnosed, but still they indicated hyperthyroidism. Without this diet Lincoln probably wouldn’t be doing as well as he is. He was never a finicky eater, but he really doesn’t like this food.

Our 16 y/o tabby named Speck developed a thyroid issue. Our vet suggested your thyroid care. She likes both your wet and dry. After a few months she gained back her recent weight loss and her thyroid tested normal. Thanks

Good, but I wish the kibbles were smaller

Nash

1 year ago
Overall, this product works and my cat doesn't mind eating it -- granted it's not her absolute favorite -- but I wish the kibbles weren't so big. My cat is rather small in general and sometimes it seems she has a hard time getting them down. She will gulp somewhat strenuously or sometimes shake her head and occasionally she even seems to attempt to clear her throat when she's done eating. I tried softening it with water but she then has no interest in it and it's unfortunately extremely difficult to break the kibbles into smaller pieces. Cats usually swallow dry food whole and these are pretty big to be going down for their size.

Thank you for your review and for choosing Hill's Pet Nutrition. It's an honor to play a role in your pet's life. Like nearly every other industry, we are also experiencing increased demand for our products and have been impacted by numerous external factors like shortages in raw ingredients and delays in shipping, which means we aren't able to make all of our products as quickly as we'd like. And while we are producing more products than ever before, it's still not enough to meet the growing demand. It's also our promise to you to always produce the highest quality foods for your pets, so we simply won't sacrifice safety and quality to get more food out the door. This also means it may take longer to get the food your pet loves back in stock. As pet parents ourselves, we realize this is frustrating, and we apologize for the inconvenience. While we work to replenish these products, we encourage you to speak with your trusted veterinarian for an alternative recommendation. Hill's Pet Nutrition

When will it be available again?

Shelley

2 years ago
Can you provide any estimate of when the y/d products will be available again? It is challenging to make medical decisions for your pet with no idea of if/when this will return. It just seems irresponsible, heartless, and contrary to your statements to pretend there are easy alternatives for the cats needing this food.

When will this be back in stock?

Susan

Our cat has done well on this diet. But now she is back on her meds because it's been out of stock everywhere for so long. It is much more expensive than her medications, but it was worth it for as long as it was available. When will it be back? And can we trust Hill's not to drop the ball again?

Unfortunately, I need to since it is necessary for my cat

Kassy

2 years ago
This food has been life saver to my precious fur baby. She was diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism at her mature age. Unfortunately, she had a bad reaction to medication. This food was an amazing alternative! The price point is high, to say the least, for our family. But she is worth every penny! Running into a backorder situation is the most stressful thing a pet parent can go through. How do I feed her? What do I do? Yes, we have an amazing vet, but this is the ONLY option we have. Yes, I ordered early so that I would have extra on hand. Yes, I have called EVERYWHERE. Yes, I looked online at all the options that I could find. But now I am down to the last few days of my last bag. So, I called your customer service agent to find out an ETA. I received what sounds like a blanket statement, a script, explaining that all of the backorder was out of the company's control- shipping delays, delays in raw materials, etc. That is NOT enough of an explanation! See, I don't care who's fault it is. I just want to know when and where I can get more food, please. I also explained to the customer service agent that I found 24 cans of wet food (24 days- not enough) at our vet's office. Now less than 2 weeks before Christmas I have to come up with more money than budgeted (cans at the vet cost more than dry at Chewy) and all she did was tell me that she would make sure my comments were noted. Not even a coupon, or an apology, or anything was offered. I don't understand that! Do better- Make it right!

My vet recommended the YD diet for my 15 yr. old cat that has hyperthyroidism. I also have 2 other cats in the house that are would be eating the same food but they do not have high thyroid. Would it be safe to feed this YD diet food to all 3 kitties?

  1. I'm sure it would be safe for them. YD simply has all of the iodine removed from it. Just be aware that YD food is REALLY expensive compared to other foods because of the process that is required to make it.



my cat has thyroid issues and been having problems with medication as it is now causing diarrhea for the past three months. Can she eat this food and take the medication? Is this food a replacement of meds or can both be given?

  1. Thank you for your question. We would suggest speaking to your veterinarain about medications. We hope this helps. Hill's Pet Nutrition



Is this product carried in any Petco store or only online?

  1. Hi Kitt125, All prescription pet foods are only available online.



I'm trying to figure the cost per serving of the Feline Prescription Diet y/d Thyroid verses oral medication. If my cat is 6 lbs. and it is recommended to give 1/3 cup daily, how many servings per 4 lbs bag are there?

  1. Hi Thyroid, Four bags of the 8.5 lbs Hill's Prescription Diet y/d Thyroid Care Original Dry Cat Food would make approximately 385 serving. Given that 1/3 cup weighs 40 grams. Thanks
