Hip dysplasia happens mostly in dogs and is not common in cats. It is possible in all dog breeds, especially large breeds like German Shepherds, Golden Retrievers, and Labrador Retrievers. In cats, breeds like Maine Coons, Persians, and Himalayans seem to be more affected. To try to prevent having a pet with dysplasia you can request a hip dysplasia report from the parents, if possible. Knowing the signs of hip dysplasia in dogs and cats is helpful for taking proactive care of your little one.
Hip dysplasia is the malformation of the joint that is located between the femur and the pet’s pelvis. Hip dysplasia is a hereditary disease. If a female has the disease, it is very likely her offspring will have it too. It can affect both males and females with equal frequency due to it being hereditary. External factors can also predispose dogs and cats to the condition. For example, diet, physical exercise, being overweight, and the environment where the pet lives.
Signs of hip dysplasia become evident between the first four months and one year of the animal’s life. An indicator of symptoms is when your pet shows unusual behavior due to pain.
Signs can include:
There are cases in which the pet is dysplastic but does not show any clinical symptoms. Your veterinarian may advise medication or surgery to treat your pet’s hip dysplasia.
Medications used for treatment may include anti-inflammatories, analgesics, and steroids. They help reduce the animal’s pain, allowing better movement, always under the supervision of the veterinarian. Rest and reduction of usual physical activities are essential during treatment.
The sooner diagnosed, the greater the chances of a satisfactory quality of life.
Surgical treatment is based on techniques that improve the animal’s quality of life but do not cure dysplasia. In dysplastic animals, the pectineus muscle presses the head of the femur against the acetabulum. The acetabulum is the cavity where the pelvis and the femur meet to form the hip joint.
A pectinectomy is one of the techniques to treat animals with hip dysplasia. A section of the tendon of the pectineus muscle is removed to release the tension on the hip joint capsule. For cases considered more serious, your vet may recommend an acetabuloplasty. This is plastic surgery to repair the acetabulum. In extreme cases, the head of the femur may be amputated.
As it is a virtually irreversible disease, the sooner diagnosed, the greater the chances of a satisfactory quality of life. Veterinarians use clinical exams and x-rays to diagnose hip dysplasia. These results help the veterinarian to choose the best way to conduct the treatment.
Adjustments in your pet’s lifestyle and environment can help prevent the evolution of the disease. For example:
We recommend testing puppies and kittens for hip dysplasia if their parents have it. Confirming the condition early allows for proactive treatment to begin before the disease progresses. Natural supplements can also help with managing the condition.
At NHV, we have supplements to help manage hip dysplasia symptoms and to help you and your pet have more quality playtime together.

Yucca for dogs is an all-natural supplement that can be helpful in many circumstances by providing symptom relief related to inflammation, discomfort, and loss of appetite.
Yucca root is widely used in dog food as well as in other pet foods. It is an herb that is highly nutritive as it is rich in vitamin C, beta-carotene, B vitamins, magnesium, iron, calcium, manganese, protein, niacin, and phosphorus. Yucca contains two very beneficial compounds: sarsasapogenin and smilagenin. These two compounds work on the mucous membranes of the small intestine. These compounds help with the penetration and absorption of minerals and vitamins. Sarsasapogenin and Smilagenin are known as steroidal saponins (phytosterols), which act as precursors to corticosteroids produced naturally by the body.
Steroidal-saponins support the immune function of the body while stimulating and supporting the production of its own corticosteroids and corticosteroid–related hormones. Due to this action, studies conducted on yucca have shown that it may be beneficial and effective for discomfort and inflammation in conditions such as arthritis. Yucca may also be effective as an appetite booster in dogs and may also help reduce the production of urease, which contributes to the unpleasant odors of urine and feces in some dogs.
