I was looking into getting my cats started with ProDen PlaqueOff for cats, which led me looking into the effects of high iodine intake for cats (each scoop of PlaqueOff powder has 0.198mg iodine).

While exact causes of hyperthyroidism in cats are unclear, it seems like a cat used to a low-iodine diet switching to a high-iodine diet may be associated with hyperthyroidism. High levels of selenium is also thought to be associated with hyperthyroidism, and selenium is found in high amounts in canned cat food.

I wonder if anybody could chime in with some information and clarity about this, in regards to risk factors of hyperthyroidism, controlling iodine and selenium levels for cats, or their own experience with PlaqueOff powder. Thanks!

Their small supper and midnight snack.

Foods: Hill’s Science Diet Turkey and Liver Entrée wet food, hot water, Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diet Urinary St/Ox kibble, Hill’s Science Diet Oral Care kibble.

Kinda felt like sharing the rest of the day. For their second meal, two cats get all wet food.

Foods: Hill’s Science Diet Turkey and Liver Entrée wet food, Acana Chunks in Broth Salmon & Chicken Recipe wet food, Royal Canin Urinary wet food, canned pumpkin, hot water, Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diet Urinary St/Ox kibble.

One of my cats did not like the Acana at all. He went to beg for fried chicken instead of eating it lol.

Side note: both the Hill’s Turkey and Liver and Acana Salmon & Chicken smell quite good. Hill’s has a heady liver smell and Acana smells like salmon and chicken stew. I hope I’m not weird for smelling all the cat food cans I open. 😅

Felt like sharing their meal. They get mainly dry food as there’s a big gap between now and their next meal.

Taken back in March.

My cats were quite intrigued. Before assembly, I lint rollered all the pieces and machine washed and blow dried the hammock and cat bed.
