I completely understand why you're worried about your puppy's bone development. This is an important part of their growth, and it's great that you're being proactive.
Puppies grow rapidly, and several factors can influence healthy bone development. Genetics play a big role, but diet and exercise are also crucial. Give your puppy a balanced diet that's appropriate for their age and breed size, as over-supplementing with calcium or other nutrients can lead to bone issues. Also, ensure your puppy is exercising regularly but not excessively — too much running or jumping can put undue strain on developing bones.
Look out for signs like limping, difficulty standing up, or any unusual lumps or bowing of the legs, as these could indicate developmental concerns such as hip dysplasia or rickets. If you notice these signs, it's important to get a professional evaluation.
In the meantime, make sure your puppy has a comfortable place to rest and play on surfaces that aren’t too hard. This can help avoid stress injuries.
I'd recommend booking a video consult with one of our Dial A Vet specialists to discuss your puppy's growth in more detail. They can provide personalized advice and reassurance to help your puppy grow strong and healthy.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
