Why Choose Hypurrcat over Another Facility?
 

We know that you have other treatment options, and the other radioiodine treatment facilities might seem like “a better deal,”  at least on the surface.

However, there are a number of things that we offer at our Hypurrcat spa that no one else does. Below is a partial list:

Deluxe facilities and cat care
• Spacious cat condos (watch the video!)
• Cameras in condo to view your cat
• Feedings 3 times a day

Thyroid scintigraphy (scanning) on all cats
• Confirm diagnosis (watch the video!)
• Determine thyroid tumor volume
• Rule out thyroid cancer

Individualized I-131 dosing
• Dose calculated from thyroid tumor size
• Complete thyroid panel (T4, T3, free T4, TSH)
• Thyroid radioiodine counts measured to ensure absorption by the thyroid tumor

Long-term monitoring options
• Complete serum thyroid panels and renal function
• If needed, repeat thyroid scintigraphy to confirm destruction of thyroid tumor
• After each recheck visit, Dr. Peterson reviews all results and give his recommendations if requested by your veterinarian

Clinical research studies
