Just like for humans, Intermittent fasting aka Time-Restricted Eating for dogs is a feeding strategy in which dogs are fed their daily food in a restricted time period, followed by a longer period of fasting.

The goal of intermittent fasting for dogs is to mimic the natural eating patterns of wild dogs and wolves, who typically hunt and eat in a feast-or-famine pattern.
In the wild, animals do not follow a regular eating schedule like our pet dogs. Instead, they adopt a feast-or-famine pattern based on the availability of their prey. They also have an innate sense of when to stop eating and focus on resting to eliminate toxins and promote self-healing.

Hip dysplasia in dogs is a genetic condition in which the hip joint is malformed, causing the thigh bone to not fit securely in the hip socket. This leads to arthritis and pain in the joint, and can eventually cause lameness and disability. It is most commonly seen in large breeds of dogs, but can occur in any breed.

Treatment options include weight management, physical therapy, and medication, but in severe cases, surgery may be necessary. It is a common cause of hind limb lameness in dogs.

Hydrotherapy for dogs is the use of water to help dogs recover from injuries, manage chronic conditions, and maintain overall health and fitness. Hydrotherapy can be performed in a pool, spa, or underwater treadmill and can provide a low-impact, full-body workout that can help dogs improve strength, flexibility, and mobility.

CBD oil, or cannabidiol oil, is a product derived from the cannabis plant that is gaining popularity as a treatment for various health conditions in dogs. Unlike its cousin THC, CBD is non-psychoactive, meaning it does not cause the "high" associated with marijuana use. One of the main reasons for the growing interest in CBD oil for dogs is its ability to alleviate symptoms of anxiety, pain, and inflammation.
