FHO Decoded
Your dog just got diagnosed with a hip problem. Surgery was mentioned. And now you’re Googling "FHO" at midnight with way too many questions.
FHO Decoded is the podcast that brings clarity to one of the most misunderstood hip surgeries in veterinary medicine — Femoral Head Ostectomy. Whether your dog has hip dysplasia, trauma, or chronic pain, FHO can sound scary — but it doesn’t have to be.
Hosted by the team at Sustainable Vet, this series dives deep into the science, outcomes, and real-life recovery journeys behind FHO surgery — no jargon, no scare tactics, just the honest answers you need to make confident decisions.
Whether you’re a concerned dog parent wondering if your pup will ever walk normally again, or a veterinary professional looking for a trusted, client-friendly resource, FHO Decoded gives you the clarity and compassion this decision deserves.
Because understanding your dog’s surgery shouldn’t feel harder than the surgery itself.
