First I would say go to an orthopaedic specialist. And for any surgery I would suggest very strongly a board certified surgeon.

And yes LP can get worse over time, and also over time arthritic changes in the knee will set in.

So along with a supplement route, if you are really serious about postponing surgery, I would highly recommend that you see a physiotherapist and learn the appropriate exercises for your pooch that will help to strengthen his leg muscles and hopefully stabilize the kneecap.

And you do need to try to control the jumping, truly not good for long term healthy longevity of a knee with a Grade2 LP. If he is jumping off the couch can you put some GelMats down to soften the impact...
