That's my limited knowledge about it.

We have Nala on fish oil, and treats with Glucosomine and Chondrotine (NO idea how to spell those ). They are Zuke's Hip Action treats and she LOVES them. They'd be helpful for joint pain and arthritis.
Are you talking about LP? Leggs Perthes is not graded. Just don't want the OP to be confused.
