Best Diet for Hyperthyroid Cats: Food and Nutrition Guide

A low-iodine diet is recommended for cats with hyperthyroidism. Excess iodine can worsen symptoms. Suitable low-iodine foods include cooked chicken, beef, fish, and eggs. Commercial cat foods formulated for hyperthyroidism are also available—typically low in iodine and high in protein and fiber.

Feeding Tips

• Feed small, frequent meals to stabilize blood sugar.
• Avoid high-fat or high-carbohydrate foods that promote weight gain.
• Ensure constant access to fresh water to help flush excess iodine.

Consult your veterinarian for a tailored feeding plan and to address any questions about managing feline hyperthyroidism.
