Because hypothyroidism can cause weight gain, it's important to have Baby Girl on a well balanced and nutritious diet, and I would feed her a high quality dog food. Look for one that the first ingredient is derived from a protein or animal source, not corn, grain, or fillers. She doesn't need a grain free food, but she should have a food that contains protein or animal source as their number one ingredient. I recommend feeding her Royal Canin or Hills Science diet.
