-- With experts from the National Institutes of Health revealing that nearly one-fifth of dogs in the US develop canine hip dysplasia (CHD), the latest report is intended to help dog owners learn more about the condition and the steps they can take to manage it. Hip dysplasia in dogs usually occurs in larger breeds and is typically characterized by various levels of lameness.

Paws 2 Chat's new report discusses the different types of supportive gear dog owners can use to alleviate discomfort in their dogs. The use of each device depends on the severity of the dysplasia and the type of management recommended by the veterinarian. For example, dog harnesses, with their adjustable straps and padded chests, are suitable for milder cases that only require some level of physical therapy. This is because the device provides the support the dogs need while allowing them to play as they would normally.
However, for severe cases, hip and joint braces may be required, Paws 2 Chat explains. These braces provide the compression the canine needs for an increase in blood flow and reduced joint swelling. While hip and joint braces are customized to every dog, the guide emphasizes the importance of looking for braces made from breathable, skin-friendly materials. The author recommends dog owners take the time to try different braces and find the ones that allow their dogs to move freely and with less pain.
Paws 2 Chat also shares details about the different types of orthopedic beds for dogs: the author explains that it is not enough for dog owners to take care of their dog’s mobility and that they also need to ensure their canine’s sleeping comfort.
An excerpt from the guide reads, "Providing the best care for a dog with dysplasia involves a combination of supportive devices, a conducive living environment, and a lot of love and patience. It’s about understanding their needs and responding with the right tools to help them live full and happy lives. Remember, these devices are not just aids; they’re extensions of your care and commitment to your dog’s well-being."
