No, glucose biscuits (sugar cookies to those of us in the States!) should not cause any harm to the thyroid gland in dogs. However, try to avoid giving too many of them too often, as they can result in weight gain and obesity. Some dogs can also develop an upset stomach or pancreatitis with diet changes or new treats.
