LAS VEGAS, October 19, 2024 – A groundbreaking collaboration in feline health has led to the introduction of ThyroEase, a novel herbal remedy designed to address feline hyperthyroidism. This innovative product is the result of a joint effort between two respected entities in animal health: The Two Crazy Cat Ladies and world-renowned herbalist Rita Hogan.

The Two Crazy Cat Ladies, Adrienne Lefebvre and Jae Kennedy, have established themselves as trusted voices in feline nutrition and health. Known for their Feline Essential product line, they have built a reputation for developing natural, effective solutions for common cat health issues. Their approach combines modern nutritional science with a deep understanding of feline physiology and behavior. With over 1.5 million followers across Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok social media channels, their influence and trusted status within the cat owner community is substantial.

Rita Hogan brings to the table her extensive expertise as a clinical canine herbalist and animal wellness consultant. With over 20 years of experience specializing in holistic canine herbalism, Hogan has spent decades studying and applying herbal solutions to animal health problems. Her approach combines diet, flower essences, herbs, mushrooms, and phytoembryonic therapies to address a dog’s mind, body, and spirit.

Hogan’s credentials are impressive. She is an educator, speaker, writer, formulator, and herbal medicine maker. Her work involves helping dog owners, natural practitioners, and veterinarians understand how to use herbs according to plant language. She believes in integrative, holistic care where traditional herbalism complements and supports science-based integrative veterinary medicine.

Adding to her credentials, Hogan has a book forthcoming: “The Herbal Dog: Holistic Canine Herbalism Applications and Practice,” set to be published on February 4, 2025. This comprehensive guide to holistic care for dogs explains how to select effective and personalized herbal remedies to support dogs’ constitutions and provide relief from many different ailments. The book will cover a wide range of topics, from understanding a dog’s main organ systems to providing safe, clinically proven, and effective protocols for common canine conditions.

Hogan’s expansion into feline health with the ThyroEase collaboration marks an exciting development in her career, allowing her to apply her vast knowledge of herbs to a new arena. Her expertise in understanding animals as individual ecosystems with unique personalities, physiology, and needs aligns perfectly with the personalized approach required for addressing feline hyperthyroidism.

The excitement surrounding this collaboration is palpable, as evidenced by the enthusiastic words of The Two Crazy Cat Ladies during a podcast announcing the new product. “I am so excited. Rita is literally one of our favorite human beings,” said Kennedy. Her colleague, Lefebvre, added with visible emotion, “My heart is racing right now as we launch this product. We got to work with Rita F’ing Hogan on this!” Their genuine enthusiasm underscores the significance of this collaboration in the world of feline health.

Feline hyperthyroidism, the condition targeted by ThyroEase, is the most common endocrine disorder in middle-aged and older cats. It occurs when the thyroid gland produces excessive amounts of thyroid hormones, leading to an increased metabolic rate. Studies suggest that about 1 in 7 cats (roughly 14%) develop hyperthyroidism in their lifetime, with the incidence among cats over 13 years old as high as 20%. This prevalent condition can lead to serious complications if left untreated, including heart disease, kidney damage, and a decreased quality of life for affected cats.

Common symptoms of feline hyperthyroidism include:

Weight loss despite increased appetite
Increased thirst and urination
Restlessness or hyperactivity
Vomiting or diarrhea
Rapid heart rate
Poor coat condition
Vocalization, especially at night
Difficulty breathing or panting

Cat owners who notice these symptoms in their pets, especially in cats over 7 years old, should consult with their veterinarian for proper diagnosis and treatment options.

Traditional treatments for feline hyperthyroidism include medication, radioactive iodine therapy, surgery, and dietary management. However, these options often come with challenges such as the need for constant monitoring with drug therapies, the high cost of radioactive iodine treatments, or the invasive nature of surgery. These limitations highlighted a need for alternative, natural solutions that can effectively manage the condition while minimizing side effects and improving the overall quality of life for cats.

The collaboration between these experts came about organically, as Lefebvre explains, “We met Rita a year ago and found ourselves in a conversation with a like-minded and like-motivated individual with a brain much bigger than ours. That discussion of the epidemics cats are facing grew into a full-fledged collaboration on the ThyroEase product.” This serendipitous meeting of minds and motivations has resulted in a product that combines cutting-edge herbal knowledge with a deep understanding of feline health needs.

Feline Essential’s new ThyroEase product represents a union of The Two Crazy Cat Ladies’ feline health expertise and widespread influence with Hogan’s mastery of herbal remedies. ThyroEase is an herbal solution designed to support cats with hyperthyroidism. Formulated by Hogan, this blend combines organic herbs and flower essences aimed at supporting thyroid function in cats.

What sets ThyroEase apart is its holistic approach to feline hyperthyroidism. Hogan explains the unique perspective behind the product: “Every major disease out there has a huge emotional component to it and what makes this remedy special is that we have looked at the emotional components of hyperthyroidism and formulated it for not only the physiological part of the disease but also the emotional components of the disease.” This approach underscores the product’s aim to address both the physical and emotional aspects of feline hyperthyroidism. The proprietary blend of glycerites in ThyroEase includes:

Bugleweed
Motherwort
Lemon Balm
Hawthorn leaf and flower
Hawthorn flower essence
Borage Flower essence

This combination of herbs and flower essences is intended to offer a comprehensive approach to supporting feline thyroid health. The product comes in a convenient dropper bottle, making it easy for cat owners to administer. It’s designed to be given orally in food twice daily, though pet owners should always follow the specific dosage instructions provided with the product.

By focusing on one of the most common endocrine disorders in cats, this team aims to offer a natural alternative for cats suffering from hyperthyroidism, potentially improving the lives of countless feline companions.

The collaboration has been a journey of mutual learning and respect. Kennedy shares a lighthearted insight into the process: “We are very grateful to Oscar and Carl, Rita’s Kitties. Without their help, I’m not sure we could have pulled Rita across the line from the canine to the feline side of animal health.” This playful comment underscores the genuine passion for feline well-being that drives this joint effort.

Importantly, all three experts view ThyroEase as just the beginning. As Kennedy notes, “We all agree that this is just the beginning of the collaboration.” This hints at the potential for future innovative products that could further revolutionize feline health care, leveraging the combined expertise of these passionate professionals.

Consult with your veterinarian before using ThyroEase in conjunction with any hyperthyroid drugs.
Pet owners should always consult their veterinarian about their cat’s specific condition and treatment options.
