iodine free vitamins & food

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 

I have a cat that is borderline hyperthyroid.  Since she is not on medication for HT yet so I am trying to feed her things that have no iodine, kelp, or that is low in iodine & iodized salt.  I am preparing most of her meals but I know she needs vitamin supplements.  My thinking is, if I'm careful with her diet she may not get hyperT.  The problem is I can't find food or a vitamin/mineral supplement that doesn't contain iodine, kelp, or iodized salt.  I am also feeding her senior wet science diet occ but it contains iodized salt.  Anyone have any suggestions where to find these low iodine products?  Thanks.

If you are preparing meals for her, have you considered feeding raw, so that you don't even need supplements?  You do need to supplement with things if feeding home-made ground raw, but not the other versions like frankenprey/prey model or whole prey.

 

http://www.radfood.com/index was very helpful when I emailed them about feeding their product to hyperthyroid cats.  They sent an in depth email back to me explaining why their food is good for cats who are hyperthyroid, it may be worth your time to email them.  Legally I am not allowed to share their response with others, at least that is how it works with most pet food companies.
