Why PennHip

PennHip evaluation can be performed on any puppy over 4 months old.  It is a great way to evaluate the risk of your puppy developing poor hip conformation. It is a breed specific hip evaluation and the best way to determine breed suitability of pure-bred dogs.  Because it can be performed at an early age, before large amounts of money are spent on training or preparing for breeding, PennHip screening can be a real money saver for the puppy’s owner.

P.I.C.O. Canine Junior Performance

The rigors of training and competition can offer nutritional and physical challenges for the young performance dog as well as increase their risk of being exposed to different diseases.  Many reputable breeders also require certain breed specific evaluations to screen for disease prior to breeding. The radiographic evaluation of hips and elbows by the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals is one such test.  It must be done after your dog is over 2 years old so it would be added to your pet’s Plan at the appropriate time.  Your dog’s Plan provides for unlimited scheduled visits, whether virtual or in person, so we can keep a close eye on developing troubles in your young dog and counsel with you easily through breeding and whelping, all while making it more affordable for you.

What it Includes:

• Proper regular head to toe-nose to tail examinations
