Go to the vet and have them tell you what grade it is. Loki and Sammy both have grade 2-3 in one knee. Loki rarely has trouble, maybe once every 2-3 months. When his pops out it takes him a while to get it to pop back in. Sammy I notice limping occasionally, but only for like 3 steps then she is fine. The vet says they are not in pain and I give them glucosamine.

I would consider surgery only if their mobility is hindered. Like if you take daily walks and they can't even finish the walk, then I'd consider it.
