She still loves to run and play but not as much as she used and when she walks sometimes I can hear the pop/crack noise and it kills me thinking shes in pain but she never crys out or acts like it hurts. Does it? Is there anything else I can do for her? Shes 2 and she is a teapot about 15 pounds and shes not fat so shes not overweight although the vet suggests she loses 2 pounds. I am new at this and I have read some about it but if anyone has suggestions advice or anything about this please please share with me. Thanks.
Lose the two pounds it will help her legs -- cut back 25% on the food slowly and add green beans as they are filling if she still acts hungry- 2lbs is like 20% of their body weight so that is huge if she is having LP Probs

also have not heard of the one you stated but have heard many having success with cosequin with lp issues - you can get it from entirelypets.com the regular formula
