Sometimes when Pippa stretches, her bones/joints snap, crackle, pop. Like mine do... Is this part of growing process or is she lacking calcium, or worse, is it foreshadowing possible osteo issues? Her parents and grandparents are OfA certified "good" and "excellent".

Mine do the same, lol.
My 12 year old Shepherd/Husky cross has a problem with that as well.

I wonder if some glucosamine/ chondroitin supplements might help.

it could be muscle and tendon sound ...but in any case its nothing to worry about , simple joints joints cracking in big dogs is very common.
