PennHIP (an acronym for "University of Pennsylvania Hip Improvement Program") is a diagnostic technique for evaluating the hips of dogs for laxity, as well as a network of veterinarians that use the PennHIP method of evaluation. PennHIP's main objective is "to reduce the frequency and severity of hip dysplasia in all breeds of dogs", to quote the official website. The PennHIP method of diagnonsis consists of three radiographs taken from different angles, which are then analized in order to make an assessment.
