Hill's Pet Nutrition has introduced its Prescription Diet y/d Feline Thyroid Health pet food. It's a daily, low iodine nutrition solution designed to manage hyperthyroidism in cats. It is also clinically proven to improve a cat's thyroid health in three weeks.
Dr. David Bruyette, medical director at VCA West Los Angeles Animal Hospital, recommended the new product for Judy Bernath's 11-year-old cat Billy, who he diagnosed as being hyperthyroid. Instead of conventional therapy, he suggested a different approach -- nutritional management.
“Surgery can be extremely invasive and daily pilling can negatively impact the relationship between a cat and pet owner. In Billy’s case I felt Prescription Diet y/d would be a good option,” Bruyette said. “After we talked about it Judy became confident this was an appropriate recommendation and sent her home with both the canned and dry pet food. After a transition from his previous pet food, we saw that Billy did just fine with no problems.”
