Canine elbow dysplasia is a complex, often progressive joint condition that can quietly affect a dog’s comfort, movement, and long-term mobility — particularly in young and large-breed dogs.
Your Guide to Understanding Canine Elbow Dysplasia is an evidence-informed, owner-friendly resource designed to help dog owners better understand how elbow dysplasia develops, how it may influence movement and posture, and why early awareness and supportive care matter.
This guide introduces the key considerations involved in managing elbow dysplasia across different life stages, including the importance of recognising subtle changes, understanding compensatory movement patterns, and supporting joint health over time. Rather than focusing on a single solution, it explores broader management principles and the role of rehabilitation, lifestyle considerations, and long-term planning as part of an integrated care approach.
Written in clear, practical language, this resource is suitable whether you are noticing early signs, managing a confirmed diagnosis, or supporting a dog considered at higher risk for elbow dysplasia.
This guide forms part of the Water Walkies Education Guides — a collection of evidence-informed resources created to support informed, confident care decisions for dogs at all life stages.
For dogs requiring additional support, this guide may be used alongside a professional assessment through our Integrated Wellness Pathway, or paired with Managing Joint Pain in Pets for a broader understanding of ongoing joint comfort and mobility support.
