Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! PlaqueOff is a great product to try. We currently use the powder formulation for dogs and cats but if they have treats for cats this should be absolutely safe to try. As with any supplement, there are no guarantees it will work but it is worth a try. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.

I would use this product only under the direct supervision of Sweetie's vet. The concern with seaweed, particularly in older cats, is that it is high in both sodium and iodine, which can exacerbate existing heart and thyroid conditions. I have not read any specific reports as to the effect of seaweed on the kidneys. The goal of this product is to keep tartar minimal on the crowns of teeth, but it does not slow or stop diseases under the gumline. As a result, I am not personally convinced of its efficacy.

Hello. I do not know what might be available in Canada, but I highly recommend looking at this website for the Veterinary Oral Health Council. Click on the Accepted Products link at the top, then on accepted products for cats. It will list everything that is truly tested to provide results. Thanks for using PetCoach. https://www.vohc.org

Great question! The Veterinary Oral Health Council is a group of veterinary dentists that investigates and reviews products that are marketed for dental care in pets. You can find a list of the products for cats that have received their seal of approval here: http://www.vohc.org/accepted_products_cats.html

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. In medicine you learn never to say “impossible” or “never” but this is HIGHLY unlikely. Hyperthyroidism in cats is almost always related to a benign tumor of the thyroid gland which produces too much thyroid hormone. If your cat were already borderline, then sure, maybe excess iodine supplementation could provide the thyroid cells with plenty to work with and tip her over the edge into hyperthyroidism. But in a normal cat with no abnormal thyroid cells, excess iodine should not do anything at all. I like plaque off and have been using it for years with my clients and have not had anything like this happen. Overall, the benefits probably outweigh the risks. Hope this helps and best wishes to you and Sweetie.
