Episode Description from the Publisher

Is hip dysplasia really just a genetic problem?In this Myth Buster Monday episode, we break down one of the most common misconceptions surrounding canine orthopedic health. Genetics absolutely matter — but they’re only one piece of a much bigger picture.We’re talking about how growth, body condition, nutrition, exercise, development, and environment can all influence orthopedic health, why even puppies from health-tested parents can still develop hip dysplasia, and why good genetics should be viewed as a strong starting point — not a guarantee.If you’re raising a hunting dog, sport dog, working dog, or any canine athlete, this episode will help you better understand how the choices you make during development can impact long-term soundness and performance.And stay tuned for Wellness Wednesday, where we’ll go even deeper into hip dysplasia, joint disease, bone conditions, treatment options, and ways to support lifelong orthopedic health.
