Most interesting fact we learned in this research: Did you know that the onset of hypothyroidism is typically between 2 and 6 years old? Previously, only our senior blood panels for pets 8 years and over included a thyroid screen. We have adjusted our yearly health screening recommendations to reflect this new research.
