🐾 HIP & ELBOW SCORING FOR DOGS! 🦴🐶
Breeders, owners & working dog enthusiasts – this one’s for you! 🏆
We’re now offering Hip & Elbow Scoring at GoVets Manchester, helping you ensure your dog has the best joint health and breeding potential.
Why is Hip & Elbow Scoring Important?
✅ Essential for responsible breeding – Helps reduce the risk of passing on hip & elbow dysplasia, common in many breeds.
✅ Protects working & active dogs – Detects early signs of joint problems, helping you manage mobility & performance.
✅ Reduces long-term health issues – Early detection means you can take steps to prevent arthritis & joint pain in later life.
✅ Required for breed health schemes – Many breed clubs & kennel clubs recommend or require hip & elbow scoring before breeding.
How Does It Work?
📌 We take specialist X-rays under sedation to assess hip & elbow joint structure.
📌 The images are then sent to expert assessors who grade them according to BVA/KC (British Veterinary Association / Kennel Club) scoring standards.
📌 You receive an official score, helping you make informed breeding or health decisions.
🎯 Ideal for:
✔ Breeders looking to improve genetic health.
✔ Owners of Labradors, German Shepherds, Rottweilers, Retrievers, and other at-risk breeds.
✔ Working & agility dogs needing joint health assessments.
📍 Available now at GoVets Manchester!
