Hypothyroid conditions in pets
The thyroid gland produces thyroid hormones which have a number of functions in the body and are particularly critical in maintaining your pet’s metabolic rate. Any change in the functioning of this gland can have varied effects on your pet’s health. In some animals (and humans) the function of the thyroid gland may become compromised and decrease as your pet ages or due to inflammation of the gland. Although hypothyroidism (decreased functioning of the thyroid) is not a life-threatening condition, it can certainly decrease your dog or cat’s quality of life.
The symptoms of hypothyroidism may be insidious in onset and not immediately obvious. If your pet has been putting on weight or you suspect hypothyroidism for another reason, it is best to consult your vet who will be able to test for this condition by measuring thyroid hormones in the blood.
What are the symptoms of hypothyroidism in pets?
Pets with hypothyroid conditions may gain weight without any change in their diet. Many become lethargic and seem to lack energy. The coat and skin may suffer from the lack of thyroid hormones- leading to hair loss and dry skin. Constipation, slow heart rate and infertility are also common problems in pets with hypothyroidism.
What is the conventional treatment?
Hypothyroidism in pets is conventionally treated by administering a daily dose of synthetic thyroid hormones. This can often restore healthy thyroid functioning very effectively. One of the main problems with synthetic thyroid hormones however is that they may result in too much thyroid hormone in the body, resulting in hyperthyroidism. This is because it is often difficult to determine exactly how much of the synthetic hormones are needed for optimal thyroid functioning.
The Natural Way
The thyroid is a very sensitive organ. As it is responsible for so many important functions in the body, any disruptions resulting in poor function – cause a domino effect, with one affected system affecting the next. Today’s modern lifestyle also affects our pets. Often their diets are over-processed and contain preservatives. Likewise, a hectic lifestyle for pet owner means less walk time for a pet. Your pet might not be getting enough regular exercise and just like us, they are also subjected to a variety of environmental pollutants on a daily basis.
Natural remedies have been used in traditional medicines for thousands of years to support the solid health of the endocrine system, helping to encourage healthy and efficient hormone production and thyroid function. In more recent times, research has confirmed this traditional wisdom. There are now many published clinical studies demonstrating the ability of a range of herbs to support the healthy thyroid. Because natural remedies are using the power of nature to effect healing they are free of the side effects that are often seen with conventional medicines.

How has PetAlive Thyro-Pet helped others?
"Both my dog’s vet and I are very impressed with your product Thyro-Pet which has helped to regulate my dog’s thyroid functioning very effectively. By using this natural product regularly we have managed to completely stop his synthetic medication without any return of his previous symptoms. Many thanks- I am thrilled to have my pet on an effective, all-natural regimen."

"Several months ago my Boxer began to pick up weight and I was convinced our kids were sneaking him plenty of fattening treats behind my back. It turned out, though, that he had a low-functioning thyroid gland. After using your Thyro-Pet formula for about a month we noticed him dropping the excess weight and also saw that he had far more energy to play and when taken for walks. We will be stocking up on this excellent product that has improved our pet’s quality of life so much!"

What are the Ingredients?
PetAlive Thyro-Pet contains the following 100% natural ingredients:
Fucus vesiculosis is also called Bladderwrack or kelp and is a sea vegetable which is a prime source of iodine - iodine is a building block for thyroid hormone. It has been used medicinally in humans for thousands of years, especially in traditional Chinese medicine, and is just as effective in domestic animals. Apart from the beneficial effect on thyroid functioning, kelp is also used as a metabolic stimulant and will help overweight pets to shed their excess weight. When using kelp medicinally for people or pets, always make sure that it is sourced by a reputable and trusted company. Kelp harvested from the beach or near to the coast may be contaminated with industrial waste, sewage, lead, mercury or other toxins. Kelp used in PetAlive Thyro-Pet has been harvested only from uncontaminated areas and screened for the presence of toxins, heavy metal and sand contamination.
Astragalus membranaceous (Huang Qi) is an herb which has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for many centuries as a revitalizing tonic for the endocrine system. It is a very useful protector of thyroid and adrenal gland function and also helps to regulate blood pressure and blood sugar levels. Recent research confirms the positive effect of Astragalus on helping the body fight against disease.
Eleutherococcus senticosis (Siberian Ginseng) is a botanical cousin of Panax ginseng and has been used in ancient Chinese medicine for thousands of years to enhance energy and increase endurance. This herbal ingredient is excellent for addressing the fatigue that many pets with hypothyroid conditions suffer from. Recent research has clinically proven that regular use of Siberian Ginseng will help the body to withstand physical stress and boost immune functioning.
Urtica urens is used traditionally and in modern herbalism as a circulatory stimulant to regulate metabolism, thyroid and adrenal function. This herb is also a good source of minerals, as well as Vitamins A, B and C.

Cathy's Tips:
Provide your hypothyroid pet with a warm, comfortable place to sleep. Hypothyroid pets battle to maintain their body temperature and will tend to be heat seekers even on a hot, summer’s day.
Exercise is important to counteract the weight gain that is often a problem in hypo thyroid pets – so regular walks are a good idea, but don’t over exercise your furry friend
If your pet is on conventional medication inform your vet that you have started using Thyro-Pet as your pet’s thyroid levels will need to be monitored closely
Hypothyroid pets often have dry, flaky skin with hairloss, add PetAlive Skin and Coat Tonic to your pet’s treatment programme to encourage healthy skin and shiny fur.
Ensure your pet is eating a balanced, high quality diet with plenty of raw and unprocessed food, (preferably organic), and avoid onions as they can be toxic to animals.
