GlycanAid HA Advanced Joint Nutrition for Dogs (60 Chewable Tablets) Made in USA with USA Ingredients: Glucosamine HCL, Chondroitin, Hyaluronic Acid, MSM

Our dog has been on Glycanaid-HA since September 2015 after having TPLO knee surgery on his right hind leg (9 months thus far). With careful restrictions on his physical activity and very gradually working him up to more rigorous activities, we are so grateful and happy to report that he has been able to run and enjoy the dog park and go on short hikes out with us (no more than 1 hour so far with low/ mild elevation changes). He zooms around the park at top speed like a maniac for short bursts and no limp afterwards. We still watch and never let him over exert himself. He's even got to try his hand at sheep herding! He spent about 20 minutes in the round pen with the trainer and got to chase a few sheep around. Still no limp afterwards. We do believe that consistent use of the joint supplement along with a thoughtful physical rehabilitation program that included various mobility exercises to teach him to reuse the "bionic leg" was an integral part of his full recovery. He went once a week starting 1 month after surgery and did about 10 sessions. We got him as a 4-5 yo rescue at our local city shelter in poor condition and no history as he was a stray. He's about 8-9 yo this year (we think). He's also maintaining a lean muscular weight of 41 lbs as compared to his muscular, bulkier 46-47 lbs pre-injury though he eats the same amount of food. He didn't gain quite all the muscle back but he's healthy and strong and the few pounds he lost also helps with relieving excess pressure from his joints. We've considered switching to Phycox or something a bit less expensive, but with his many allergies (including fish and marine ingredients) we are cautious to introduce any new products to his diet and this still works very well for him.

I cannot say enough about this product - I am the worlds biggest skeptic on non vet prescribed supplement products or human supplements non dr prescribed for that matter. Spring of this yr I noticed my 12 yr old Shepard/Husky/Lab mix struggling to get up. She had also stopped jumping into the truck and I had to pick her up. She was in mild to moderate discomfort and displayed some tail-tail signs such as shaking and twitching in her hips, legs and such. After getting a recommendation from a groomer and reading the reviews I plunked down what seemed like a good bit of scratch at the time on this suppliment. Let me tell you within a week of the 2x dose I saw improvement in her - she got up faster - she was more eager to play with other dogs. The twitching and shaking subsided greatly. A couple of weeks after that I prepared to take her to the park and opened the door, I set her leash and snacks on the hood getting ready to pick her 73 lb body up into the truck - realizing I forgot my cell phone I went into the house only to come back and she was already into the truck! She had jumped in on her own! She had not done that in almost 6 months. Shes going on 13 now yet is active gets in and out of the truck herself now and the shaking and twitching has stopped. This product is amazing and she will get this suppliment every day as long as it is effective. She started playing a lot again and still gets a little sore as she is old but with a days rest she pops right back up again ready for more. This product is nothing short of legit and amazing and Izzy is a testimony to its effectiveness! 5 stars would give more if i could! BTW she loves the taste its like an additional treat and I give her 2x if she had a active day playing and then go back to 1x. My vet who was about to prescribe her meds is amazed at her mobility now.

My very athletic chocolate lab-pitt mix tore her CCL almost two years ago and had TPLO surgery. She ended up getting a bone infection and had to have her plate removed six months later. I had read all the great reviews of TopDog GlycanAid HA, and I have been giving it to her ever since her first surgery.She is now doing really good. She still doesn't put full weight on her surgery leg and that leg is smaller than the other as a result. But the other knee has been okay thus far (fingers crossed.) I can now take her out for a good run/swim and throw the tennis ball for her for about a half hour most days, and she does extremely well. She still takes Tramadol in the morning and if I stop giving her that she starts limping worse, but otherwise she is very happy. She was so thrilled when I was able to start taking her off leash and let her fetch the tennis ball again a few months after her second surgery. It truly is what she lives to do.It's hard to assess whether or not the TopDog has helped her, because she's been getting it every day since her first surgery and I've never taken her off it to see what happens. I give the 4 star review due to the fact that she has been able to resume something close to her previous level of activity without increased limping or injuring the other leg. It would be 5 stars but I honestly don't know if she would be fine without it. And I am so happy with her progress and I don't want to take a chance on derailing it by stopping her TopDog.If her continued progress is in fact due to the TopDog, then I give it ten stars!
