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

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?
- 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

13 y/o male cat with hyperthyroidism. Need recommendation for affordable dry cat food.
My cat 12 yr old domestic short hair, has a hyperthyroid and vet recommended a high protein diet to help him gain weight, what trusted cat foods can i buy to feed him? Thanks
Cat diagnosed hyperthyroid. Vet sold us Hills Thyroid. Full of corn and cat allergic to corn. She doesn't know iodine content of other foods. Need high protein, no grain, no fish, good taurine and low salt and iodine below .4. Can't seem to find that info. Bought Merrick Purrfect Bistro Grain Free Chicken which met requirements. But it is dry and 1/3 of it is powder. Have always used Natural Balance but iodine is 2.2. Can you tell me what the iodine/salt content is in a food that will work
My 16 yr old Persian cat was recently diagnosed w/kidney disease. Doc prescribed Hill's Kidney Care. I've been trying to give the canned version for the first time ever because of dehydration. She eats some, but not enough, & has dropped from her usual 7 1/2 lbs to about 5 1/2 lbs. She licks & licks, but it takes forever for her to get it in. She also seems unable to pick up the dry version because of it's shape & size and her flat face. What can I do to get her to eat enough?
I feed my cat Hill's Prescription Diet k/d Early Support Chicken Canned Cat Food, and order it from chewy.com, but the are out of stock and vet doesn't carry it. She has only 10 cans left. Is there any other place to get this food quickly?
I have a neutered female overweight scottish fold cat and need to overcome the weight problem. I used to feed her Hills Metabolic but it is not available anymore in Turkey so I need alternative ideas.
I have an 8 year old female Min Pin / Rat Terrier mix who is about 6 lbs over weight. She’s currently on Hills Science Diet Youthful Vitality, but her vet said she should be on a grain less low calorie food. What do you suggest? I’d like to keep it in the Hills line if possible, unless they don’t have that kind of option. Thank you.
Our cat just started Hill y/d thyroid care dry cat food and is not taking to it. Is there something we can add to it to get him to eat it. We know this is his only food going forward but is it ok to add chicken broth or something to it?
I have tried everything to help my dog lose weight. He is getting a thyroid test done soon, but I want to help by buying a weight loss food. Which is the best brand and type for a Chihuahua, who is 10 pounds, but should be around 5 pounds?
I have a very senior cat (19), who is in Stage 3 kidney disease. She also takes a thyroid pill. She has never been willing to eat a prescriptive diet, she loves regular canned food, but in her old age won't eat the same flavor two times in a row. She's doing well with poo, pee, engaging with us, grooming - she enjoys life. What can I do to help her gain some weight. She only weighs about 8.5 lbs now. As she has aged she has continued to drop weight.
If my cat is on Thyronorm medicine for overactive thyroid, can I swap his food from Felix Senior to the special Hills Thyroid Cat food?
My male cat recently had cytene (not sure of spelling) crystals. The vet said he needs to eat Hill's Science Diet canned food. My cat is 15 pounds so that means I would have to feed him two cans a day at a cost of over $100 a month. Is there any other food that I could give him. Plus the fact Hill's has corn and corn gluten in it.
