Hello, my wife and I have two choccy lab girls, Ruby who is 10 and Rosie 8. Ruby had a hip replacement before she was 2 years old and it hasn’t seemed to have troubled her over the years, she used to run around like any other dog. They both now have arthritis, Rosie rather badly, we need to get their weight down and are looking at alternative foods. This looks like a good forum and we look forward to using it and hopefully contributing to it.
