Thank you for submitting your question regarding Bitty. If his hyperthyroidism is well controlled and he has not developed any kidney disease, then he can eat a high quality over-the-counter diet. I typically recommend Purina ProPlan or Royal Canin. If he has other underlying diseases such as kidney problems, then a prescription diet would be necessary. I hope this information helps!
