Dr. Barnes is certified by the University of Pennsylvania Hip Improvement Program (PennHIP).  As per the PennHIP website:

"
The PennHIP program consists of 3 integral components:
  • An evidence-based radiographic technology to accurately screen canine hips for the susceptibility to osteoarthritis.

  • A worldwide network of trained veterinarians to perform the procedure with competence.

  • A database maintained at the University of Pennsylvania designed to accumulate and report on breed-specific trends in osteoarthritis and hip dysplasia control.

PennHIP's mission is to develop and apply evidence based technology to direct appropriate breeding strategies aimed at reducing in frequency and severity the osteoarthritis of canine hip dysplasia.

PennHIP incorporates a new method for evaluating the integrity of the canine hip. It is accurate in puppies as young as 16 weeks of age. It has great potential to lower the frequency of CHD when used as a selection criterion."
