It's a catch 22 for her, she needs to lose weight to prevent further damage as she gets older, but she can't go for long walks, runs, or play too long without causing more damage. Ideally a pool and low impact exercise would be best, but I don't have that option open to me right now.

If this proves to be a safe and manageable treatment, it may provide the extra help needed to reduce her weight.
We are in the same boat as Riley, Zoey has just been proved to have hip dysplacia and sponysplasia. I can only take her on 2 20 min walks twice a day and let her out only on a leash. She has been on 3/4 a cup for a while even before we found out about this. She still hasn't lost weight. I would not try this product for a long time.
