Testimonials:

Our Dog Sadie is recovering from TPLO surgery.  She is 5 weeks out, and with the help of GlycanAid HA, is doing wonderful. We have been doing the exercises outlined in the rehab guide and she has been putting weight on her foot since we brought her home. She just had her first evaluation and rehab session at Pet pt in Cherry Hill, NJ and all of her measurements are at the good end of the spectrum. I am so glad that she can begin to start having more freedom and start returning to normal. I know we have a ways to go, but am excited about the great progress.  Thanks Dr. J!

Hi Dr. J.,

TopDog was instrumental in Rosie’s ACL recovery.  This was her second surgery in the same leg.  This time it was a complete ACL tear and partial meniscus.  She had a recent vet exam and she was very pleased with her progress.  The vet recommended longer walks to build that muscle back up.  She thought Rosie’s knee looked and felt great.  Rosie still has a little “skip” to her walk and does not put all her weight on that leg when standing to eat.  However, she is completely off Rimadyl and does not limp much at all.  I am thankful that GlycanAid HA has helped Rose to heal and continues to keep her joints mobile and pain free.

Thanks for you supporting videos and your great product.  Rosie thanks you too!

My dog Rosco was diagnosed with a degenerative disease that affects his hind legs.  He drags his left rear leg so badly sometimes that he eventually ends up with no claw.  I purchased GlycanAid on June 9th and have been giving it to him every day since.  I noticed 3 weeks in that I wasn’t hearing the claw dragging on the kitchen tile and his tail was wagging more, but the biggest surprise is when he jumped up on my bed and actually cleared it without his hind legs slamming against the bed.  I was SHOCKED!!!

I know that he isn’t healed completely, but I do know that he is much happier and enjoys running in the backyard much more.

Thank you so much TopDog for the positive effect on Rosco.  I will continue to purchase GlycanAid for Rosco and now for my other dog Maxx.

I am surprised (though I shouldn’t be), amazed and delighted to report that adding that third tablet of GlycanAid-HA has made the difference we were looking for!  Even in just one week – well, in fact, in a matter of days – we could see a difference.  Miss Be Haven, our 5 year old, 50 lb. Boxer/Dalmatian, more than a year after her TTA surgery, has finally been pain free even after running (and jumping in the air with joy just a few times).  Thank you, Dr. J., you rock, man! Thank God and Dog for your brain and your passion for the health and happiness of dogs!

We started her on a 4 tablet loading dose, and kept her on that for 2 months – although a slightly higher dose than your literature suggests, we thought it was wise because she was having real problems following surgery in spite of all the therapies we were doing with her. Then kept her on a 2 tablet daily dose – also a little on the high-ish side.  That’s been about 9 months now.  She was doing MUCH better, but if we let her run (or even worse, jump), then she’d be in pain afterward, having difficulty getting up and down and limping around the house. We were a little concerned about going up one more tablet – not wanting to overdose her – but that’s exactly what she needed.  She’s pure muscle, fit and trim and gorgeous, if that makes any difference.

I’ve come to accept the fact that she’ll never be the dog she once was and have let go of the dream of agility competitions, but she can still live an active and pain-free life.  So she continues her work as both a service dog and a therapy dog, continues to take classes in various types of activities that don’t include jumping, and I can finally let her run hard through the fields and do her “zoomies” around the house without worrying that later in the day I’ll be helping her get out of her bed.  And if I’m really careful, I can even throw a stick – or a frisbee or a ball or a toy or a treat or a bumper… – and watch the pure poetry of her athletic body fly after it.  Just a few times, but I can do it without guilt so my heart can fly with her.

Dr. J., please please please never change!

My 7 yr. old King Charles Spaniel has slight hip dysplasia.  The vet techs didn’t seem to understand this when he was shaved at the vet office.  He came home barely able to walk and in great pain when he had squat to urinate and defecate.  I had just started using the TopDog GlycanAid HA.  Now, while still on the loading dose till the end of March, he is back to his old self–just about.  Walks aren’t as long as before, but we are working up to that.  He is a happy dog again.  You have a great product.  Thanks.

Susan & David the Cavalier King Charles

(Look at those nicely tucked rear legs! (he was watching for rabbits; I interrupted him.)

After my dog’s surgery, you sent me an email and video about the use of this product. Daisy was still limping after 12 weeks recovery. I purchased GlycanAid HA, and she has been taking it for four months. After a few weeks, Daisy’s limp was gone. I intend to keep her on this supplement to prevent other joint problems. It is great and I have recommended it to others. Thanks!

My Bailey is making an amazing recovery following her 2nd TPLO.  I listened to you, gave up the Adequan and have started her on your wonderful product.  She is post-op 8 weeks now and is doing so well!  She has been on your product for about 3 weeks. I am seeing Bailey become a puppy again!   I am not sure if she is simply healing so well and is so happy, or if it is your product plus all the good food and love and attention that she gets.   It’s all so amazing.  We are  planning a vacation this fall to the beautiful beaches of NC.  Bailey and her rescue sister Abby will join us.  They love the beach!!

Thanks to you, your amazing resources and top-shelf product, we will have a great time!  Thank you for all that you do to help and support  all the critters and their mommies.   We value you!!

I just wanted to take a minute and share my story with all of you.  My 6 year old black lab, Moose has had two ACL repairs. The first one was when he was just 18 months old.  The recovery was problematic to say the least. It took almost a year before he was “back to normal”.  Moose had his second surgery at 3 years old.  We found Dr. J’s rehab guide and followed all of the instructions except using the GlycanAid because we were already using Dasuquin with MSM.

He recovered very quickly but he was still having problems with his first repaired leg. We just assumed it was arthritic and there wasn’t much we could do. We made the decision to try the GlycanAid just recently at 5 1/2.  After the loading phase we noticed a big difference!  Moose was not favoring the bad leg as much and would sprint across the yard or beach which he didn’t do before GlycanAid. Today was his annual check up and I couldn’t wait to tell him that Moose was doing the best he has in a very long time!!!  I told him about GlycanAid and he asked me to send him the information so he could recommend it to his patients.

Thank you Top Dog and Dr. J

Dr. St Clair,

Thank you for your free manual download that I referred to daily during our 100 lb Ridgeback- Sheppard mix recovery from TPLO surgery. Your encouraging e-mails and reminders as to what I should be doing to help rehab. Jed, got us through this rigorous post op rehab.  He is doing very well and has free run now of his 4 acres.with no limping.  The only problem was during rehab.3 times per day, 7/8 of a mile each he walked and trained on leash, he marked his territory, and thinks he owns the neighborhood and is very territorial.  When we walk off our property he is on leash. Thank you again for all your support.
