Thank you so much for this video. How many reps of this exercise would you recommend ?

[@OptimumPetVitality]

Hi @ananyarawal
I'll pass your question on to Dr. Laurie and let you know!

[@OptimumPetVitality]

This depends on the strength of the dog. A safe place to start for a weak, geriatric dog or a young puppy is 3 or 4 steps in each direction for one or two reps.

Thank you very much for sharing this technique, Dr McCauley !! Would this be good for a 15 months old puppy who was told she MIGHT have early sign of hip dysplasia? TIA

[@OptimumPetVitality]

Yes! These are good exercises for strengthening.
