<p>Thanks guys! I think I might try those vinyl pads. I like the guarantee. Orvis…wow, too expensive!</p>
<p>Re Hip Dysplasia…our old lab gets 6 fish oils and 3 extra strength “move free” (gloscosamine and chondroiton) pills every day. Has really helped to keep things stable. We also are careful not to run him. Swimming…hmmm…I’ve always been worried that his hips will give out when he’s far out in deep water so it makes me nervous. Probably my issue more than his…but it is what it is. </p>
<p>Anyway, we hope the vinyl pads will work. He’s eating junk that I’m SURE is not good for him. And it’s expensive to replace those cushion. Plus his gags are REALLY LOUD. Fingers crossed!</p>
