Felinus, the wet cat food with reduced iodine content
Feline hyperthyroidism is an increasingly common condition in senior cats, often diagnosed between 10 and 15 years of age. When the thyroid gland starts producing too many hormones, metabolism speeds up abnormally. The signs? Rapid weight loss, excessive appetite, vomiting, rapid heartbeat, anxiety, and hyperactivity.
One of the first solutions your veterinarian may suggest, alongside medication or surgery, is a change in diet. In particular, a low-iodine diet can help control thyroid hormone production in a gentler, more natural way.
Iodine is involved in the production of thyroid hormones: by limiting intake, you can help naturally rebalance thyroid activity.
Why Limit Iodine in a Cat’s Diet?
Iodine is essential in small amounts, but for a cat with hyperthyroidism or a predisposition to thyroid dysfunction, drastically reducing intake can be a helpful strategy. Less iodine means less raw material for the thyroid, and therefore fewer hormonal excesses.
Traditional diets—especially those based on fish, kibble, seaweed, or industrial preservatives—tend to contain more iodine than the levels recommended by official nutritional guidelines, such as FEDIAF, and often without stating it on the label. Felinus, on the other hand, has an extremely controlled and transparent content, making it suitable even for cats that need to follow a low-iodine diet.
Felinus wet food contains an iodine percentage below 0.01%
Unfortunately, finding a complete wet food with a very low iodine percentage is truly difficult.
Felinus offers the ideal solution for cats who need to follow a low-iodine diet.
Felinus is a natural wet food with an extremely low iodine content: only 0.01%.
This makes it an ideal choice for cats who need a low-iodine diet, without giving up taste, quality, and wellbeing.
Every Felinus recipe is:
- Single-protein: one protein source, ideal for sensitive cats.
Grain-free: no grains, flours, soy, or by-products.
100% natural: only real meat, no flavour enhancers or artificial colours;
Gently cooked in glass to keep all nutrients intact.
A Conscious Choice for Your Cat’s Health
Felinus is not a medical food, but it’s designed to offer a natural alternative for those looking for a wet food with reduced iodine.
It can be included in your cat’s daily diet on veterinary advice, and it also fits perfectly for healthy cats who don’t need more targeted nutrition.
