When one of my lab/chow mix girls was diagnosed with a bad case of hip dysplasia at age 4 months and my vet told me that she would not be able to walk by the time she becomes an adult, I refused to accept this as well as the high priced pills the vet tried to sell me. After educating myself about the disease and searching the web I found this site and an all natural remedy. To make a long story short-Sadie has passed her 3rd birthday and runs and jumps with the best. I suggest you take a look at the wealth of information offered there as well as all natural remedies that WORK and are much much less expnsive than the vet. Not to mention keeping the chemicals out of your beloved pet!!!
