Hi there. There isn't really a way to prevent it - either your dog has luxating patellas, or he doesn't. If he has a low-grade patellar luxation, it can sometimes be managed with joint supplements and/or anti-inflammatory medication to help minimize problems. Higher-grade patellar luxations generally need surgical repair.
