PennHIP Method:
PennHIP is a method for evaluating hip dysplasia in dogs, which can be performed much earlier (at 16 weeks of age). PennHip requires sedation and involves x-raying your dog’s hips in three different positions to measure how loose the joints are and determine the presence or likelihood of osteoarthritis.
