The vet that I take my cats to actually took one of her arthritic cats to a pet acupuncturist and had really excellent results. I took my dog to the same acupuncturist for skin problems and also had wonderful results. I would also recommend PetAlive Muscle & Joint Support. It promotes healthy strong joints, muscles, tendons, cartilage and bones. Maintains ease of movement. Cleanses and purifies the system and improves liver functioning. PetAlive products are holistic, natural remedies that work very well. I actually use the Skin & Coat formula on my dog and have seen a lot of improvement (in addition to the acupuncturist) To learn more about pet acupuncture go to: http://www.peaceful-organic-planet.com/holistic-pet-health.html You'll also find a holistic veterinarian directory link there and a link to PetAlive.

Swimming is wonderful exercise for a dog with hip dysplasia, because it allows him to build muscle mass without overstressing the joint. As dogs age, exercise remains very important, but you may need to adapt to your dog's changing ability and mobility. For more info, click on this link: http://dogtime.com/hip-dysplasia.html Hi,

It really does help. We take her to the lake with us all the time and she really does act like a new dog after a good swim. Hope this helps.

Weight management is very important in dogs with hip dysplasia, as well as exercise to build muscle mass. Not excessive exercise by any means, but even just a walk a day helps keep the joints moving. You can actually work on massaging your dog yourself at home......and physical therapy is available for such pets as well. Also, I used to work at a vet's office and the one veterinarian there performed acupuncture on dogs with joint problems and the owners said it helped tremendously. This method is obviously not appealing to everyone and not "right" for every dog, but it is worth checking into.
