Description

Tune in to Episode 29 of "The Labrador Podcast" to learn more about Dennis's health journey, the importance of responsible breeding, and George's experiences with his four Labradors.




We first heard about Dennis in episode 10. In this episode, we catch up with his owners again as they update us about Dennis, a Labrador with Elbow Dysplasia.




In the past year, George has expanded his family from owning two Labradors to now having four: Mabel, Dennis, Betty, and Percy




George shares insights gained from caring for multiple dogs, particularly in relation to the health issues Dennis faces. He explains Dennis's condition of elbow dysplasia and its impact on his well-being. George discusses the use of Librella injections, which have proven effective in blocking pain receptors for Dennis.




The episode highlights Dennis's journey with stem cell treatment for his dysplasia. George describes the procedure, how stem cell treatment works, and the remarkable results it has produced. Thanks to this treatment, Dennis no longer requires pain relief.




However, not everything has been smooth sailing for Dennis, as he has now developed canine arthritis at the age of two. To keep him mobile and alleviate discomfort, Dennis undergoes regular hydrotherapy sessions, which he loves.




George emphasizes the importance of doing thorough research when searching for a puppy. He advises listeners to ensure breeders have conducted proper health tests, as this could have potentially prevented the health issues Dennis experienced. George encourages asking questions, reviewing test results and paperwork, and being willing to walk away if not fully satisfied with the breeder's practices.




The episode also provides an insight into life with four Labradors, highlighting the joys and challenges of having a pack of these energetic and lovable dogs.




George extends shoutouts to the Stem Cell Vet and Cotswold Dog Spa for their contributions to Dennis's well-being.
