Please examine yourself and your pup for ticks after leaving CCOLDP. The tick population is supposed to be big this year due to a relatively mild winter. Coupled with the dumped cat population at the park that have decimated the native bird population that eat ticks as well as gnats, we could have a bad year. Make sure your pup is up to date otn their flea/tick meds.

From a very reliable source, sorry I dont have the original article:
The FDA reported the alert followed a recent Center for Veterinary Medicine investigation into reports of three dogs in different households that showed signs of hyperthyroidism. Extensive testing on all three dogs showed elevated thyroid hormone in the blood, but ruled out thyroid cancer, and reference lab interviews with the dogs’ owners revealed that all three dogs had been fed one of two dog food products: BLUE Wilderness® Rocky Mountain Recipe™ Red Meat Dinner Wet Food for Adult Dogs and/or WellPet Wellness 95% Beef Topper for Dogs.
After the dogs stopped eating those foods for a few weeks, their clinical signs improved, and they returned to normal, the FDA said. An FDA lab tested unopened cans of both products and found that they contained active thyroid hormone, according to the advisory. The FDA concluded that the source of thyroid hormones likely was from the use of gullets from which the thyroid glands were not completely removed.
