Should I be concerned that my dog's hip clicks when he is walking?

Answer by  Louise (94)

Yes, you should take your dog to a veterinarian immediately. Clicking implies that something is out of place or an injury is present.

Yes you should be concerned. The clicking could possibly be hip dysplasia which is very common in large breed dogs and gets worse with age. It is very painful for the dog and may require surgery if untreated.
