Hi! Yes..thyroid is often an induction of skin problems. Even in cats! Glad you figured it out! Many here use Fomm with great success. If Duke int having food related problems, I would hesitate to switch..why rock the boat! :ROFL: but..if you are already going o change..Fromm is a great choice. I hope Duke gets to feeling well very quickly!:)

Thyroid is SO IMPORTANT! I had no idea how so until a friend of mine's Giant Schnauzer turned into a TOTAL JERK. This thing -- big as a pony -- and wow; he was moody, snippy, they called him "aggressive" (which he wasn't but it sure looked like that) and now, he's on his meds and a total teddy bear -- just like before.

So glad your vet found that, so now he can get the meds he needs, plus FROMM is a great food. We feed it to our bullies.

So it wasnt the thyroid....seasonal coat change...i'm like seriously....he's on fish oil bills and I've seen a difference in his coat, it's coming in darker and has more shine to it

Glad you found out the culprit, trust the medication works wonders. Fromm is a good choice. I feed my Ace Whole Earth Farms and Fromm. From what I have heard Fromm has been in the business for many years and has never had one recall on their feed.
