What are Thyro-Tabs for Dogs and Cats?
- Thyro-Tabs are a prescription medication for dogs that contains the drug Levothyroxine Sodium.
- Levothyroxine is a replacement for the hormone T-4, which is naturally produced in the body by the thyroid gland to regulate metabolism and energy.
Why do cats and dogs use Thyro-Tabs?
- When the body is unable to produce enough thyroid hormone on it’s own because of an imbalance, an enlarged thyroid gland, or other medical conditions and treatments, it is called hypothyroidism.
- Hypothyroidism in dogs can be found with a blood test or by signs and symptoms involving metabolism, energy, nerve and muscle function, skin and haircoat.
- If your dog has been diagnosed with low thyroid hormone or hypothyroidism, your veterinarian may prescribe a Levothyroxine medication such as Thyro-Tabs.
What else should I know about Thyro-Tabs?
- Dogs taking Levothyroxine require much higher doses than humans. Doses for cats may be similar to doses for humans.
- Your veterinarian may need to perform regular blood tests to check the dose of Levothyroxine in the blood. These follow-ups are very important.
What problems could my dog or cat have with Thyro-Tabs?
- Side effects from giving too much Levothyroxine include fast heart rate, greater appetite with weight loss, thirst, increased urination, excitability, or nervousness. Dogs may pant more. Cats may appear withdrawn, apathetic, or uncaring. Contact your veterinarian if you notice any of these signs.
How do you use Thyro-Tabs?
- Thyro-Tabs can be given with or without food, but should be given in the same way every day to maintain a consistent level of Levothyroxine. Follow your veterinarian's directions.
What is in Thyro-Tabs?
- The drug in Thyro-Tabs is Levothyroxine Sodium.
- Levothyroxine is a replacement for the hormone T-4, which is naturally produced in the body by the thyroid gland to regulate metabolism and energy.
Will I get what I see in the picture?
- Thyro-Tabs is a brand name. You will receive the exact brand that you request.
Is it important for my dog or cat to finish all of the Thyro-Tabs?
- Dogs and cats may use Thyro-Tabs for different lengths of time. Please consult your veterinarian if you have any questions.

Excellent price!
My 13 year old miniature schnauzer has taken this medication twice a day for at least 2 years. He's a champ and doesn't complain because the pill is small and easy to swallow. The extra benefit is that the cost is 5 times less than what my vet charges for the same medication. This helps tremendously, especially having three dogs.
Most Liked Negative Review
very slow process
This process with vetrxdirect is too slow. Days after paying and giving name and number of vet and sending scan of rx I was told that I still had to mail in the original. A week later I was told they didn't have it and then they "found it". The next day they said they would try to fill it in a day or 2. Almost a week later I received the medication. I ran out of medications and had to go back to the vet and pay more for a partial prescription. They were slow to tell you what all they really needed because if they told you it would take 10 to 14 days you'd probably just get it filled locally. Bait and switch technique.

From UndisclosedComments about Thyro-Tabs Canine (levothyroxine) 0.1mg, 120 Tablet BottleThis product has helped my 6 lb. Rattie immensely. Her levels have been well controlled for several years. Her excursion into the refrigerator has more to do with the weather here in Florida than her thyroid disease.-

I received a new script for levothyroxine 01 mg and the pill is not the same as previous prescriptions. what color is the new pill??
-
If you received a different brand of levothyroxine for your pets last prescription, it is possible the colors were different because manufacturers can have different color coding for their pills. Thyro-Tabs brand levothyroxine tablets are yellow for the 0.1 mg strength.

For anyone who has bought this specific product, what color are the tablets and do they seem to be flavored (will your dog take them without being hidden in something)? I know it does not specify that they are chewable/flavored, but my dog's thyroid levels are very finicky if her med is given with food, so we must give it on an empty stomach. She will take levocrine tablets by themselves, but those are unavailable right now. Thanks!?
-
These tablets are not chewable or flavored. When there is food in the stomach at the same time as levothyroxine, less of the medication is absorbed. In this case, it may be best to give the unflavored tablets with a very small amount of food. Pill pockets are a good option and are quite small. When you make this change, the thyroid levels may change. As long as you are consistent in the amount of food that your dog takes with the levothyroxine, your veterinarian can adjust the dose of the medication if needed. Consult with your veterinarian so that he or she is aware of the situation.

My pills are blue. I set these pills on top of pumpkin puree on top of my dog's kibbles. She just takes a huge gulp of the pumpkin with the pills and swallows without chewing.

When you order a brand name product, we will fill the order with that brand name. In this case we would ship Thyro-tabs as ordered.
