You've been hearing personal stories from people with dogs that have "issues". People are talking about this "Hypothyroid" thing in dogs. You're wondering if maybe this could be your dogs issue.
Know this, you're not alone! Many people are frustrated, spending thousands of dollars at vets, behaviorists, trainers, on supplements, medications, special shampoos, special foods and nothing seems to fix it all.
We personally know your frustration. After almost euthanizing our own dog, Gunner, we FINALLY found out what was wrong. Hypothyroidism! With 2 cheap pills a day, he was a different dog!
Now you need to know! After all the struggles - here is a compilation of links, resources, video's and general information that you need to educate yourself before seeing your vet. Here it is, and I'll continue to update as I find things!
