My little lady just turned 6 years old and is showing signs of either hip stiffness or possibly arthritis. We were told she does not have hip dysplasia but will look into getting a second opinion just in case.

I give her a can of sardines (in oil) every night so she gets healthy omega-3s in hopes that will help. We do have a large fenced in yard and she plays with our other pup often (He is a 6yo Shepsky). We try to do 20-30 minute walks every night but have two babies under two so that doesn’t always work.

What else can I do to ensure she has healthy hips for many years to come? More consistent exercise? Any foods or supplements that are proven to work? Any tips are greatly appreciated.
