Pet Wellbeing Thyroid Support Gold for Cats - Holistic Thyroid Balance with Bugleweed & Lemon Balm, Feline Metabolic Health Supplement - NASC Certified & Vet-Formulated - 2 oz Liquid Formula

We have been struggling to support our cat in light of vet fees so high we cannot even afford to do tests. Our cat has symptoms associated with thyroid and had inconclusive test results related to thyroid. Issues that have been going on for years have improved with this thyroid support product. Her coat is much improved, her demeanor is not so aggressive, and she seems more herself.

Short version: This product worked for us. Your results may vary, so pay close attention to your cat while using these drops. Long version below: Our older cat Tigger has hyperthyroidism. First noted in October, 2016. Last September, he gradually stopped eating - he was hungry, and *interested* at meal times and would put his face into the food bowl, but wouldn't / couldn't eat. He would eat some of our human food, but pretty much none of the cat food. We thought at first that he might be having trouble with his teeth, and tried other (softer) foods, but they were no real help.Got him a dental appointment, but ... he lost a bunch of weight over a few days and still wasn't eating, so we took him to the vet. Diagnosis: hyperthyroid. Vet advised he was too weak for dental work (or much of *anything*) so we needed to try to get him eating. Vet said that a thyroidectomy (partial removal) was the treatment of choice for a long time, but now no one (no surgeons or clinics) is doing that procedure. Everyone has gone to a radioactive iodine treatment - basically, they inject the radioactive iodine in a carefully calculated amount, it settles in the thyroid where the radiation destroys some of the organ. You have to sequester your cat for weeks and store their poop for 90 days to let the radiation fade. Costs about $1500. Yikes, both for the cost and the ordeal. But before we (might) subject Tigger to any such stress, we needed to get his health back, so.... Vet gave us little pink pills that can help with the thyroid issue, but we should watch for side effects like strong facial itching and destructive scratching. Sure enough, the meds *worked* and Tigger started eating better, especially Science Diet...but after a couple of weeks he started scratching his face and getting a heavy, waxy build-up in his ears. We got him some steroids to help heal the damage he was doing to himself, but we just couldn't keep him on the pills. I had been researching alternatives to the surgery or the radiation treatment, and came across reviews of this product. Actual user reviews indicated that it works *sometimes* -- no surprise there, everyone's situation is different, and what works for one might not work for another...so I ordered a bottle to try it with Tigger. At the beginning of November, I started off giving him a drop for each two pounds of his weight, so four drops (he was a bit under 8 pounds). The effects were pretty much immediate: he started going after his regular food with gusto. Through experimentation, I discovered that he doesn't like the taste of the drops *full strength* - if I just drip in onto his food, then he'll reject the food after eating a part where the drops were. What I have been doing *with great success* is making a "gravy" by adding warm water to the residue in the bottom of a can of food, and stirring the drops into that, then I add that to his food...so he ends up with his salmon pate swimming in gravy or broth that has the drops mixed in. It has been working, at least as far as keeping him able to eat, in good spirits and gaining back some of his weight. HOWEVER - the vet warned us that one of the effects of hyperthyroidism is a ravenous appetite, and that seems to be where Tigger is going. He has been wanting breakfast, second breakfast (30 minutes later), elevenses, brunch, lunch, second lunch, dinner, second / third / fourth dinner (whatever he can talk us into). And he isn't gaining back all his weight....there still isn't as much cat there as there used to be. It is now June of 2017, and he's been getting the drops since last November. We will take him back to the vet to get his blood numbers checked again soon, and hopefully he'll be stable. Update: in October of 2019, we finally lost our Tigger. He was in pretty bad shape in October of 2016, and I credit these drops with keeping him going for three years. He was having a pretty good time until the last few weeks, so I call that a success story. We miss him still (now August, 2020). These drops must be pretty good stuff.

I wanted to give this product 5 stars, because the company is wonderful and the customer service is great. The only reason I am giving it 4 stars is because even though it helped improve the wellbeing of my cat a lot, unfortunately it did not help bring his thyroid levels down. Our 10 year old cat Oscar was diagnosed with Hyperthyroid and Kidney disease October/22. Both advances stages. This was very upsetting news. He gets regular yearly Vet checkups and his blood tests have all been good. The Vet put him on liquid Apelka ( Methimazole) 5 mg /day for his thyroid, and renal food for his CKD. After 5 days on this medicine he starts to scratch himself all over nonstop and vomited several times a day. He was loosing weight fast as he could not keep any food down. He then stopped all eating and drinking. We were so worried about him and thought he would die, so we rushed him back to the Vet. The Vet declared that he was too sick to live and wanted to put him down there and then. His blood work showed he was doing very poorly. Turns out he was allergic to the thyroid meds Apelka. Putting him down was out of the question. We wanted a second opinion from another Vet. Back at home I began researching everything I could on hyperthyroid in cats and found this product. Since we live in Sweden it was not possible to order this directly to us. Luckily I have family in the US who shipped the Thyroid Gold to us with express mail. We started slowly introducing the drops into his food. He had no problem with the bacon taste and seemed to like it. This was in November/22. We increased the drops to 4 morning and 4 night in his meals- full dose. Something amazing happened at day 5 of giving him the drops. Oscar started to perk up. His eyes were alert and bright and his mood had improved a lot, and he had less anxiety. He was not howling for food in the middle of the night anymore. ( before the thyroid gold drops we had to feed him several times a night). He seemed much calmer. The drops definitely seemed to worked wonders on his wellbeing. 2 weeks after initiation of the drops he was now eating really well and became playful, social and started purring again. He showed significant improvements in his wellbeing. His fur looked better too. We found a new Vet at a great clinic who really wanted to save Oscar and help us. Blood work on his thyroid levels were done again and it was still high at 179. We had now given him thyroid Gold for 4 months morning and night-full dose, but the numbers had not come down at all. He ate a lot, but was still very skinny. The Vet explained that at this point our only option if we want to save his life, was to treat his hyperthyroid with the Radio Iodine Treatment. We agreed to do this and he will receive the treatment in April/23. The Thyroid Gold helped our cat's overall wellbeing drastically. I highly recommend these drops. Maybe if we had started treating him in an earlier stage of his hyperthyroid disease, we could have managed the illness with this herbal remedy. For anyone who has a cat with early hyperthyroid, I would recommend to give these drops a try. Anyway,Oscar is a happier cat now and is behaving like his old self. We look forward to his full recovery. Thanks so much for making this wonderful product! Ps, Have also written a review about his excellent results from Pet Wellbeing- Kidney Support Gold.

I believe firmly in homeopathic medicine and have always leaned in this direction when my animals have been sick. However, I ordered this formula and it did not help. I started out with a regular vet who stated I had to go big pharm. Nope, I relocated one of the best holistic vets around who helped w a dog I had previously. I was shocked when he told me I had to put my 18 year old kitty on big pharm medicine to control her thyroid 2x day. I could use the drops in between as needed. However, in all his years in practice, he has never been able to stop the thyroid with homeopathic. It just does not work. With my older girl, she ate very little previously. I attributed it to old age but the meowing increased and I couldn't understand why. I filled a compounded creme/rub a little in my kitty's ear 2x day. I'll give the drops if she's uncomfortable in between meds. The pkg states not to give if on pharm meds. But my homepathic vet said there wasn't a problem done in between treatments. The thyroid meds could cause your kitty not to eat. But with mine, it was reverse.

Update 6/13/20: Product change is making me question the ethics of this company. The old packaging included a glass bottle and the consistency of the product was dark and viscous. The new product is in a plastic bottle and appears to be watered down. My cat went back to vomiting again as soon as I gave him the new product. I called the company and the rep explained to me that because this is a natural product, the color, smell, viscosity, etc can change. He also said that they test the product to make sure the chemical constituents are consistent. I make my own alcohol tinctures and glycerites for personal use but don’t feel I have the knowledge (or testing equipment) to make an appropriate formula for an animal. However, I know enough to know the viscosity shouldn’t change unless the glycerine to water ratio has changed (which should absolutely stay consistent for more uniform extraction results). The color is pale, a clear lighter than honey color, where before it looked more like molasses. This makes me believe they watered down the herbal glycerine AFTER extraction, which would greatly reduce the effectiveness of the product. Why would that be necessary unless they were trying to save money after the tincture had already begun processing (which takes about 6 weeks)? I asked if they had other complaints like this and the phone rep said no. I told him that my cat had started vomiting like he did before going on the formula, and he said, ‘Ooh, this is actually very common when an animal has been on the product for a while. The dosage given is the minimum dosage and you should double it and see if that works.‘ I thought that was a very convenient lie to cover up the change of their product—that my cat’s body was what had changed—but I doubled the dosage and then tripled it a few days later when that wasn’t working. Funny how my cat had ‘become used to’ the product between the last bottle and the new one, so much so that we had gone from 3 drops to 10 in just a few short days. Even at 10 drops, he’s still throwing up every other day or two but I’m afraid to increase the dosage further because some of the ingredients are questionable for long term use in larger amounts. Note that the company has not adjusted the dosage recommendations on its bottle and says I should give my cat 1 drop for every 2 pounds (he weighs 6). So now I have no idea what the true dosage should be with the new formula. I believe if Pet Wellbeing really needed to thin down their product, reducing the efficacy, they should have updated the dosage label. Note that the ingredients label has also not been changed. I also believe therapeutic tinctures/glycerites should never be placed in plastic bottles, which have the ability to leach all sorts of particles (many of which we haven’t yet discovered) into the medicine. I know this is a lengthy review but I am disappointed beyond words. I started out believing in this product, which used to come in a glass bottle and used to be effective. Way to put your profits over the health of the animals you profess to be dedicated to, Pet Wellbeing. I will be trying Primalix ThyroPaws, and hope their standards are better than yours. Original post December 2019: As my cats have started aging, I moved their diet away from canned and packaged foods to all whole foods with the help of vet. This has made a huge impact on the health of all three cats, but one was still struggling with a hyperthyroid condition and was vomiting up bile almost daily. I'm so grateful to have found this product. Adding 3-4 drops of this to a treat twice daily has made all the difference for him. We've been giving him this product for 6 weeks, and he's completely stopped vomiting and exhibiting other thyroid-related issues. Also, we're only half-way through the bottle, so depending on the size of your cat, this could be a 2-3 month supply. It smells a little pungent (like burdock root) so you may have to be creative in how you feed it to your cat. Highly recommend trying this product if your kitty has a thyroid issue.

"About a year ago, our senior cat began losing weight despite an increased appetite. Our vet suggested a sedative for his next visit due to his anxiety, but suspected an overactive thyroid given his age (13–14 years). Before committing to blood work and prescription medication, I decided to try this supplement. At the start, he weighed 9.5 lbs (down from his prime weight of 11 lbs). I began adding five drops to his non-fish canned food twice daily. After four weeks, he has gained half a pound and no longer seems constantly hungry. While I can’t say for certain the supplement is the sole cause, the timing and results are very encouraging."

Honestly, I'm flabbergasted this product worked as well as it has -- already, after only 9 days!! I know all the reviews were rave, but I still couldn't believe it would bring back my beloved 10 yr old kitty practically from the brink of death. I was ready to put her down. We live in Mexico, the vet here couldn't find any cat thyroid medication for over 3 months (why, who knows?), my cats health declined horribly -- was super boney skinny, crying all the time, eating a ton, seemed dehydrated, fur was thinning and dull -- it was just awful to see. Brought this product back from my U.S. visit and honestly within 3 days my cat was acting and looking normal !!! Been over a week, I add this product to her a.m. & p.m. feedings, she doesn't mind eating it at all, and she's now completely calm, eats a normal amount of food, doesn't cry non-stop, plays, grooms herself, sleeps -- looks so much better & she's not bone-thin. Doesn't seem possible, I'm incredulous, BUT I see it with my own eyes. A THOUSAND THANKS to Pet Wellbeing for producing such a high quality product, reasonably priced, that actually, really truly WORKS! I also posted a question before ordering which they answered immediately. I wish all products I've purchased worked this well. I wish I could get people products from them too! Now I'm glad I couldn't get the medication in Mexico, this natural product is so much better, no side effects and less expensive. What a win/win!

UPDATE: After a month on this supplement and looking good, my dear little cat started having breathing problems. Took her to emergency clinic and she was in heart failure. After 24 hours on oxygen and draining fluid from her chest, she had an echocardiogram. Emergency vet it was likely due to taking her off the tapazole as now her heart was enlarged from uncontrolled hyperthyroidism. She is now on 4 heart related meds & tapazole again. My own vet said tests showed her thyroid levels were still bad while on this supplement but whether it caused the heart problem is hard to say. He said it may have happened regardless. (Maybe he was being kind, rather than loading guilt and blame on me like one of the emergency vets did?) 11/17 My cat was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism a few months ago and the vet put her on tapazole. The tapazole made her liver values go very high, so we had to cut the dosage. Still her liver values were higher than they should be and she was very thin -- she felt like a skeleton although she was eating and her fur looked rough and unkempt. Tapazole put my other cat into severe kidney disease so I wanted to avoid that dilemma. I stopped tapazole and started thyroid gold. My cat looks like she's put a little weight back on in only a week and her fur looks a little better. I'm waiting to take her back to the vet for a weight check so he can see her improvement. (I do recommend Petwellbeing kidney supplement) The vet said my other cat no longer has hyperthyroidism and her kidneys had been damaged from the tapazole, so I stopped tapazole. I put my cat with kidney issues on your kidney formula and she has gained some weight, plays and even picked a fight with my brother's cat! She's feeling really good! When I told the vet about your kidney supplement, he said "go for it!" I also put your milk thistle supplement in their drinking water since it's good for both kidney and liver issues.

My 18 year old Himalayan/Persian boy was diagnosed with Hyperthroidism. Had lost a kilo in weight, had awfully oily fur down his back and tail area, bony feeling around his back legs and back. Literally ravenous eating, and heavy urinating. The "nuclear" pills the vet gave him almost killed him. Tried, the special foods, and biscuits, joint medicines & oils, oral sprays ( that just made him cough, and wheeze) ... Nothing was working. Then I came across this one night scouring the internet for something to help. Took almost a month to arrive, BUT it really works ! I got a little syringe, and I started giving him a direct dose everyday (dosage depends on their weight). 1 month later- Mixed with a daily dose of Metacam for cats (for arthritis support) which he licks off my finger like its a treat (has a honey/sweetness), and once a week a syringe shot of 4Cyte joint support, he has bounced back something incredible ! He is running, climbing his house, his fur is soft and fluffly again, he eats normally, less urinating. Like a new cat. Would HIGHLY recommend this product.

I have a 20 (nearly 21) year old cat that has a mile long list of ailments (arthritis, kidney failure, constipation, and even feline acne) so she is on a few medications + supplements for these ailments. Lately she has been pacing around and very restless and also very vocal (she is deaf too) so has this high pitched shrill meow that she has started doing all through the night now too. I thought it was just part of her old age + deafness but it was becoming a big problem in our house as she was waking up the household all through the night (Hubby said one night she howled 11x throughout the night) so I started researching why she could be doing this and stumbled on this product as being helpful for cats with hyperthyroidism (had never heard of it until I found this product) so started doing my research and all the symptoms sounded exactly like my cat (she also lost a lot of weight but was always ravenous and had very greasy fur but just put it down to her old age). I thought we might as well give this product a try and it has been a miracle cure. I am sure there are better meds from the vet but she has so many ailments already that i don't want her on more medications nor do I want to put her through a stressful vet visit. We give this to her 2x a day and she has stopped howling in the night and definitely not as restless and not as ravenous either. I tried to give it to her in her food but then she wouldn't eat the food so now one of us holds her while the other squirts into her mouth, definitely not ideal but not sure how else to get it in her and it is definitely working so want to keep it up. I am now on my 2nd bottle, definitely works!!!

L'hyper thyroïde de mon chat a augmenté de 100 points sur ses analyses (T4) en deux mois. Produit totalement inefficace .

My 18 year old cat has been on 2 drops a day since 3 Nov 2022 and I have seen a major change in her. Let me tell you her story. Aside from a previously diagnosed grade 4 heart murmur my cat was healthy and was not on any medication for anything. I took my cat to the vet late Oct 22 for a non -thyroid related reason. The vet, on examining her, said her thyroid was slightly enlarged. This didn't come as a great surprise as I had noticed she was eating more, losing body condition and her fur was starting to look greasy - all the classic signs of an over active thyroid. The vet wanted to have her back in for all the usual tests and I knew this was going trend up with vet issued medication. Having had the same with my previous elderly cat I really wanted to avoid medication if I could and the chemicals it contained as thyroid medication did not help my previous cat who I had to have put to sleep within 3 months of being prescribed thyroid medication. I started looking online to see if there was a more "natural" substance available and I came across this - not on this website though. I read the reviews on the other website plus another website I found and vast majority of the reviews were positive. I did as much research on this product as I could find as I didn't want to give her anything "dodgy". After one evening early Nov when my cat was extremely restless, getting up every 15-20 mins and going to her food bowl I decided I to take a chance on this product and found it on Amazon for next day delivery so took the plunge. My cat started on it 3 Nov and, seriously, within 5 days the difference in her was markedly improved. She was calmer, less restless and not searching out her food quite so much. After another week she was more improved again. She had now been on this almost 2 months. Although not a cure I have to say it has transformed my cat's life. She still has the odd day where she lingers around her food bowls but nothing like it used to be before I started her on this. Her coat condition has improved dramatically. She sleeps contentedly for hours, her body condition has stablised and actually improved; yes she is thinner than 6 months ago but she's 18 (19 years in Apr 2023) and not so active so has lost muscle but she no longer looks bony bordering on emaciated. How long this product will continue to have a positive effect for is unknown but if it can give my fur baby more months of a happy life it is worth every penny and, to me, preferable than pumping pills with all their other side effects into my cat.

Ich habe dieses Produkt aufgrund der sehr guten Rezessionen bestellt. Mein 14 Jahre älter Kater hat Schilddrüsen Überfunktion und die Medikamente vom Tierarzt hatten keine Wirkung gezeigt,im Gegenteil die Medikamente verschlimmerten seinen chronischen Schnupfen. Mit Pet Wellbeing nimmt er langsam aber sicher wieder an Gewicht zu! Und sein Schnupfen wird nicht schlechter. Also klare Kaufempfehlung
