What is dog hypothyroidism?
A dog's thyroid is a gland in the neck which controls metabolism and body growth. When this gland produces too much or too little thyroid hormones, health problems follow.
Thyroid conditions are very common in both cats and dogs. Cats more commonly suffer from hyperthyroidism, an overactive thyroid. Dogs more the opposite: they're more likely to suffer from hypothyroidism, which is an under-active thyroid. Though not life-threatening, canine hypothyroidism can profoundly effect your dog’s appearance and quality of life.
Symptoms of canine hypothyroidism:
- Dull-looking coat
- Greasy skin with a pronounced odor than clings to your fingers
- Low energy level
- Weight gain
If you suspect your dog has hypothyroidism (the weight gain and dull, smelly coat are usually the first clues) you should consult your vet for an accurate diagnosis. There are, of course, other causes of weight gain and poor coat.
Traditional treatments for hypothyroidism in dogs
The standard treatment consists of daily doses of synthetic thyroid hormone. Though this treatment can certainly work, there's one major problem: it is very difficult to determine the proper dosage. The result: your dog may suffer from having too much thyroid hormone! That's why it's important to work with a competent veterinarian who has experience dealing with thyroid issues..

Our customers have the last word…
"When my black lab started slowing down and gaining weight, I thought it was just natural aging (even though she's only six.) It turned out, however, that she had an under-active thyroid. We put her on Thyro-Up, and very quickly we noticed that her energy level returned. Then her weight started coming off. It's just great to have my old dog back!" Valerie P., Fort Lee NJ
"My vet can't believe how well Thyro-Up helped my dog, Bowser. We’ve completely weaned him off the synthetic product he was on and there's been no recurrence of symptoms. It feels great to know Bowser doesn't have to take anything else. He now looks and acts great without them." Pete, Oakland CA
