Old Friend & Thyroid Support Bundle for Cats - Senior Cat & Thyroid Health

What is Old Friend?

Old Friend is a daily herbal tonic developed specifically for your beloved senior cats and veterinarian-formulated to nourish key body systems as they age gracefully.

As our feline friends enter their golden years, we naturally look for ways to help them stay comfortable and content. From providing nutritious meals to ensuring they have ample mental and physical stimulation, we aim to support their well-being at every stage. Designed by a holistic veterinarian, Old Friend focuses on helping senior cats maintain their vitality by supporting connective tissue, joint health, immune function, and more as they navigate the normal changes that often come with age. Old Friend is a gentle, effective way to help your cat continue enjoying life.

What is Old Friend used for?

While senior cats may naturally slow down a bit, their spirit remains strong! Old Friend can be given on its own or added to a current wellness routine to provide that little extra support suited to an aging cat’s needs.

This dynamic herbal blend supports:

• Balanced energy levels for daily enjoyment
  
• Comfortable movement, with support for jumping and mobility
  
• A strong immune system for resilience
  
• Mental sharpness and cognitive clarity
  
• Stable blood sugar levels for steady health
  
• A healthy liver for overall wellness
  

A note from our veterinarian:

Old Friend is crafted with care to offer benefits for senior pets, nourishing the systems to help your cat age with grace. While some benefits—like joint support—may take a few weeks to notice, many cats may experience a sense of well-being and steady energy within the first one to two weeks. With Old Friend, your senior cat can continue to engage, play, and share those special moments with you.

What is Thyroid Support Gold?

Thyroid Support Gold is a dynamic veterinarian-formulated supplement designed to gently support the normal function of a cat’s thyroid gland. The thoughtfully selected herbs in this formula support thyroid hormones, while additional herbs help maintain other areas influenced by these hormones, such as heart function, energy levels, and sleep patterns. It also includes Amla, which provides natural vitamin C to support overall thyroid and immune function.

What is Thyroid Support Gold Used For?

Formulated by holistic veterinarians, Thyroid Support Gold is designed to help maintain balanced thyroid function and support your cat’s metabolism. A healthy thyroid contributes to normal appetite, thirst, and weight, as well as a shiny coat and healthy skin. By supporting normal thyroid hormone levels, this formula helps your cat feel comfortable and maintains their overall vitality.

Since thyroid hormones also indirectly influence heart rate and temperament, Thyroid Support Gold includes herbs to support heart health and help promote a calm disposition. The formula works gently over time, so it's important to expect gradual results as it supports your cat's long-term wellness.

A note from our veterinarian:

A healthy thyroid helps maintain a balanced metabolism, leading to stable energy levels, a healthy appetite, and normal thirst. Your cat should feel calm and relaxed, with a shiny coat, healthy skin, and strong nails. When the thyroid is functioning normally, these are all signs of your cat’s overall well-being. Regular check-ups with your veterinarian can help ensure that your cat’s thyroid stays in good condition and continues to support their comfort and vitality.
