Whether it's an underactive or overactive thyroid, learn the natural ways to support your dog or cat's condition.
— Darleen Rudnick, B.S.W., M.H.N., Certified Holistic Nutritionist
Thyroid problems affect dogs and cats in almost opposite ways. Dogs most often develop hypothyroidism, an underactive thyroid, while cats are far more likely to develop hyperthyroidism, an overactive one. Because symptoms and natural support differ significantly between the two, understanding which condition your pet has is the first step.
Hypothyroidism in dogs is most often caused by immune-mediated inflammation of the thyroid gland, while hyperthyroidism in cats is typically related to a benign growth on the thyroid that develops with age. Because thyroid hormones affect nearly every system in the body, symptoms can vary widely between pets.
We build a nutrition and lifestyle plan suited to your pet's specific thyroid condition, whether that means supporting an underactive thyroid in a dog or managing an overactive one in a senior cat. The goal is always to work alongside your veterinarian's monitoring and help your pet feel steady and well again.
Whether your dog has an underactive thyroid or your cat has an overactive one, Darleen offers consultations to help build a natural plan suited to their specific diagnosis.
