Growing fast---- you could try 500 mg of vitamin C and 1/2 tespoon of wheat germ oil (vit.A,D & E) a day.. growing too fast can lead to hip problems too.

What are you feeding?
Did its feet just go flat in last few weeks or has it been like that since a pup?
I have a few suggestions based on your answers

I had a bluetick in here to run loose a while back that his front feet were very flat. The ankle joint seemed weak. One side got much better just by building up strength from being on the go but one never did. Getting dogs off of concrete can help a lot along with exercise. I'm not a show person but I know that won't concrete floors they use chat or rock as it helps to strengthen the muscles and tendons on the foot and ankle area. As driftwood stated it could also be a growth issue. Lower the protein, add some cold liver oil or vitamin and if in a highly shaded or indoor kennel get it more exposure to sunlight along with exercise.

I don’t believe the issue with the concrete kennels. I have had concrete kennels for over 30 years and never had this issue. I have four dogs on concrete now and they are all cat footed. Two were raised here on concrete
