First Step or technically the second

So I have made the first step...actually I guess its the second since really the first was takin him to the chiropractor...anyway I have made the next step, lets say that, I called SmartPak and the woman recommended this

so I went ahead and ordered the 180 count bucket which will last 90 days.  I should get it within 3-4 business days so I will keep y'all updated on if I see improvment or not.  The woman said that alot of people use this supplement for their dogs who have hip dysplasia and they are all really pleased with the results so I have a good feeling about this.

I did call the vet also to get a price estimation.  If Koda doesn't need sedation and stayin the day it will be just under $200.00 for the exam and the x-rays.  If he does need sedation and does need to stay the day it will cost just under $300.00.  So I am gonna hold off on the vet for awhile and just see how these meds and everythin I get him helps.

I also got him those paw-pads so that when we go to mama's and daddy's house he doesn't slip around on their tile and hard wood floors and so that it is easier for him to lay down and get up.  Once I get about an extra $100.00 I'm gonna get those doggie boots that have the traction on the bottoms.  They will be cheaper in the long run compared to spendin $15.00 each week for the paw-pads.  These are the boots by the way

and he will need the socks to make sure they fit and stay on

Step 1...go to chiropractor...completed
Step 2...get supplements and paw pads...completed
Step 3...gettin the dog bed and sheet
Step 4...stairs to the bed and the ramp for the truck
Possible Step 5...take Dakoda to the vet :(

I wonder if I should have Koda seen every 2 weeks by the chiropractor or what...I think I'm gonna make him (the chiropractor, not Koda) some blueberry muffins.  LOL!

I really hope I am doin the right thing!  I hate seein my babies in pain!
