Description
Hypothyroidism is a slow-developing condition and may be misdiagnosed as normal signs of aging. For natural support, our Hypothyroidism Kit is beneficial for dogs and cats with lowered thyroid function who need added nutritional support.
Natural Support for Thyroid Problems in Dogs and Cats
Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) is a condition that affects many pets, including dogs and cats. Apart from slowing down, if you notice that your little one’s fur is thinning, their skin is dry and dull or they have sudden weight gain, you may want to book a visit with your vet to run some tests, including a TT4 test, which is a measurement of thyroid hormone levels in the blood.
For pets suffering with hypothyroidism, we'd suggest adding natural pet thyroid supplements like our Thyro-Up and Multi Essentials to support their glandular system as well as support their metabolism.
How NHV Supplements Provide Glandular Support And Aid Digestion
Hypothyroidism can cause a lot of discomfort for your pet. If left untreated, hypothyroidism may lead to secondary health issues like cardiovascular disease. Ingredients like eleuthero and ginkgo support healthy thyroid function, and brain function. Kelp is rich in iodine which helps activate the thyroid gland while ingredients like licorice and gotu kola contain many beneficial properties for stimulating thyroid hormone production. The antioxidant and sedative properties in Thyro Up help to protect the body from cell damage, and help to soothe inflammation and discomfort. Multi Essentials contains a range of vitamins, minerals and trace elements that are formulated to help stimulate metabolism, promote healthy skin/coat, improve digestion, energy levels and help to fill nutritional voids.

FAQ
What’s the difference between hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism?
Hyperthyroidism refers to a thyroid gland that is overactive (elevated thyroid hormones) and hypothyroidism refers to an underactive thyroid gland (not enough thyroid hormones). These two conditions are often confused but each has very different symptoms.

Can I use Thyro-Up for Dogs with other supplements?
Yes. For added support with canine hypothyroidism, we recommend taking Multi Essentials which helps to improve the metabolism, encourage healthy skin and coat, and aid with digestion.
Thyro-up can also be used alongside traditional thyroid medication. Just be sure to separate medication and any supplements by a couple of hours so each has time to work separately in the body.
What are common symptoms of hypothyroidism?
- Lethargy
- Sudden changes in weight
- Increased coat shedding
- Hair loss (thinning)
- Reproductive issues
- Dull appearance
- Dry, cracked skin
