Hi..Thank You all for the great info. Parkers doing great these days...spoiled more than ever and still trying to get some weight off of him. His hip healed up very nice and he can run and play after his frisbee and ball for a good 30 min. After that he wants to take it easy and rest in the shade. We take him to this man-made lake 15 min from the house almost everyday so he can swim and run after his frisbee and once in a while when he's feeling full of himself chase a duck or two. I was just wondering what else is good for his hip and if anyone has had any great results with anything.  I do think getting the weight off is a big one and it's so hard.  Labs are so food oriented and can recall when a treat was given and under what circumstances and can manipulate you so much. I just wanted to Thank everyone for the info...
