<p>We’ll see about the size of the crate. We may need to have one for the car (smaller) and one for the house. </p>
<p>Yes, our lab has had hip dysplasia for all of his life. We saw it first at 6 months. Poor thing could barely walk down the street at that point. We were very worried. Considered surgery. Fast forward, and he has done beautifully over the years. He gets high doses of fish oil and Glucasomine/Chondroitin every day. Long walks every day. Not too much food (he’s not fat like most Labs!). And yes, he’s naturally on the smaller side which helps. He’s had episodes of stiffness and lameness but nothing long lasting.</p>
<p>The chewing took us by surprise after s left for school. He just can’t help it I guess. Anyway, we hope to have him around for a few more years…and I’m sure the crate will help. Still can’t find the Kong. He’s not one to eat them though.</p>
<p>mom of 3 - will check out tuffies. Thanks. Not sure about the bones…don’t like the idea of splinters.</p>
