PetAlive Thyro-Pet   is a 100% safe and natural combination of herbal ingredients for treating hypothyroid conditions in pets. This remedy will improve your pet’s thyroid functioning and increase the production of thyroid hormones naturally as well as address all the major symptoms associated with hypothyroidism. Thyro-Pet contains no added synthetic thyroid hormones and there is therefore no risk of inducing hyperthyroidism in your pet. 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. 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. 100% Natural Ingredients Fucus vesiculosis   is also called Bladderwrack or kelp and is a sea vegetable which is a prime source of iodine - crucial in preventing thyroid problems. 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.
