I have to agree with Carol on this.  If you don't prepare the food you 
really don't know what's in it.  Labels don't always tell you what's in 
it.  If using a tradition dog food I would at least try going to a food 
with what is now termed "human grade ingredients" and stay away 
from pet grade ingredient foods.  Another thing if tests were done 
what are the thyroid tests showing?  I've heard of more than one 
dog having seizures resulting off of hypothyroidism or worsening 
when the thyroid starts to gradually go hypo.
