Product keeps my cat alive without medication. My cat doesn't tolerate medication so the last resort apart from surgery was this food. I add a little water to make a bit of gravy and portion into 3 days worth per tin as it is a big tin. Keep the rest in the fridge

My Cat needs this food, because of a thyroid problem. She has put on weight, and seems to like it. As she is 14 years old, don’t want her to undergo surgery.

My cat loves the dry food (Not the wet) and he's much happier and has even put weight on. This stuff is great. He still gets a little iodine.

Y/d wet or dry?

Cindy

  • VioVet customer since 2016
  • From: CHANNEL ISLANDS, United Kingdom

My cat normally eats dry food and has been recommended the y/d diet by our vet. Can she continue just eating the dry food or does it have to be mixed with the wet food?

  • VioVet Staff

You can choose wet or dry, or a combination of the two, it will be fine as far as her hyperthyroid treatment is concerned. The main issue with this diet is that it tastaes a bit boring to cats, so they tend to go off it after a while. Using both wet and dry can help to provide interest, so I would recommend that is what you do. It is important that she does not eat any other type of food at all.

Hills y/d variety

Bailey

My cat has a thoroid problem & won't rejects Felimazole tablets in any form.
Q1. Does the y/d only come in one variety (which my cat doesn't like) - are there any other varieties.
Q2. Is there any way of making it taste like Chicken or Beef?
Thanks

  • VioVet Staff

There is only one form of y/d diet and it is true that lots of cats do not enjoy it. Adding anything significant to it to improve the flavour will probably prevent it from being fully effective, so I would not recommend that. If hunger will encourage your cat to eat it then you will have to work on that, but this is a problem for many cat owners.

Is y/d ok for multicat households?

kay barnett

i can't find anywhere, whether it is OK for prescription y/d to be fed to other healthy cats within the household, or must it ONLY be fed to the cat diagnosed with hyperthyroidism?

  • VioVet Staff

This diet is safe for other cats to eat, but ideally they should get some other foods as well. A hyperthyroid cat should not be allowed to eat anything else at all. The y/d diet is not especially tasty, so your other cats would probably prefer other food anyway. You have to make sure you do not offer any other foods when the hyperthyroid cat is present, or that one will not want to eat the prescription food either. If you can cope with the hassle of organising the feeding, the y/d dose seem to be very effective.
