An iodine-limited diet for a hyperthyroid cat only works if it's the only thing they eat - no treats, no other food, no stealing from the dog's bowl. PetHealthLog lets you log the prescription food, keep the diet strictly exclusive, and track weight and appetite on one timeline. Free, no account, works offline.
Start tracking - it's freeOne way vets manage hyperthyroidism in cats is a special iodine-limited prescription diet. Its defining catch is that it has to be the cat's only food: a few treats, a taste of another cat's dinner, or table scraps can undermine the whole approach.
In a multi-pet home that's genuinely hard. Keeping a single cat on an exclusive diet, remembering it across the family, and noticing the slip-ups means an accurate record is the difference between a diet that's working and one that only looks like it is.
PetHealthLog is free, needs no account and works offline, so logging the prescription meals - and noting any slip - keeps the diet honest and gives your vet a clear record for the next thyroid test.
Record the iodine-limited food and feeding routine, so you can confirm the cat is actually staying on the diet day to day.
A quick note when the cat got a treat or stole other food keeps the record honest - so an off blood test has context.
Weight and appetite are key signals in hyperthyroidism - log them regularly so trends show up between blood tests.
Note each thyroid recheck alongside the diet, so results line up with how strictly the diet was kept.
Export a clean diet, weight and appetite history to bring to each recheck.
The iodine-limited prescription diet itself must come from your vet, and on this diet other foods and treats are usually off-limits. These are common everyday feeding supplies - check with your vet before adding anything your cat eats.
