My 9 yr old Chocolate Lab, Moose, was diagnosed with a small partial tear if his left ACL in February of 2015. The doctor suggested, in lieu of a surgical procedure, a PRP, platelet rich plasma injection, in the effected area. This procedure ran $1,000.00 for the first procedure, and $600.00 for the second. Over a two month span, with limited walking and no stairs Moose continued to favor the hind leg. I decided to try GlycanAid HA, as I had read some of the good reviews, even though the majority were from post operative situations.

Moose is a muscular 105 lb dog, so we give him 4 tablets a day. I am happy to report that, although we curtail any running, but do 2 brisk 2 mile walks each day, Moose rarely favors the hind leg with the tear. I’m not saying this is a miracle drug, but it has seemed to curtail any pain or discomfort affiliated with his injury. Since March 2015 we have been giving Moose his daily dose of GlycanAid HA as it has enabled him to exercise and enjoy the outdoors as he did prior to the injury.

Thank you folks for enabling Moose to enjoy his daily activities without pain! Enjoy the Holidays and thanks again!

TopDog Health’s GlycanAid-HA has made a difference in my 2 year old Aussie mix. She has recovered from a double ACL; TPLO. She has a new life. She runs and you would never know she had any problems walking. I also give it to my 2 year old 100lb Lab, just as precautionary. I highly recommend this product.

Smokey who will be 8 years old Jan 2nd, 2016 appears to be completely healed after suffering two ACL tears, one in September of 2013 and the second one in December of 2014. He has more energy than ever, which wouldn’t ordinarily seem to put him at risk of suffering another ACL tear, except that he knows no fear and he goes all out to catch a Frisbee or a ball going at full speed and jumping at the end to snag the Frisbee or ball. We couldn’t be happier with Smokey’s progress and I believe we owe it in part, if not all to his continued use of GlycanAid HA. Smokey has been on that supplement since November of 2013 and seems to be getting stronger every day. We want to thank Dr. J for his invaluable input in the rehab portion of Smokey’s recovery and for recommending GlycanAid HA. We wouldn’t be without it and we recommend it to anyone who truly wants the best for their canine buddy. I have to admit I’m a bit concerned yet when I play Frisbee with Smokey because of the fearless and reckless way he goes after Frisbee’s and balls. But I’m confident he’ll continue to show improvement, though we couldn’t be happier with his physical condition as it is right now. Thanks again Dr. J. to you and your terrific company for providing a truly remarkable product that has made life totally wonderful for Smokey and me.

I discovered your products while searching for a canine joint supplement made with ingredients not sourced from China. Dr. St. Clair’s prompt, informative and caring replies to my questions impressed me. Unfortunately, I mistakenly ordered your GlycanAid HA when I meant to order the regular GlycanAid. So I figured I’d just switch to the regular GlycanAid after I used up the two bottles of GlycanAid HA that arrived. Well, that ain’t gonna happen.

This may be a coincidence (although I doubt it) but after being on GlycanAid HA for a couple weeks my 14 year old Aussie Karma…who had been stumbling, losing interest in food and generally winding down in old age (I thought)…began running in the yard, eating with relish and happily enjoying each day as a vibrant older dog. She was recently diagnosed with a brain tumor that has likely metastasized to her lungs which has led to some seizures and coughing but is otherwise a picture of health and continues with the improvements seen after we started the GA-HA. The difference is obvious and remarkable.

Karma, along with our other two Aussies, Tango and Skid, will be staying on GlycanAid HA. Thanks so much for a quality product made with quality ingredients and for discounting with your SmartShip auto-ship program. You guys rock!

Hello Top Dog!!

Thank you for such a great supplement, GlycanAid HA. Heika, (our GSD) had an FHO for hip dysplasia more than two years ago and is doing great. We followed the rehab step-by-step and it was very effective. Our vet recommended the website and supplement. Thank you again!!

This is not something that I normally do, but I am sooooo happy with GlycanAid HA that I am compelled to write this email and tell our story.

Isi, our 18 lb tiny golden doodle at the young age of 1 year started holding her hind left leg up and taking a few steps on 3 legs when she got up from resting. I immediately googled to find out what could be going on and read a lot of how glucosamine could really help. I ordered a product that was widely recommended on the internet and made an appointment with our vet. It was suggested that we keep her quiet for a few months, no running, jumping or playing and to start her on the glucosamine as she probably had a luxating patella. Not an easy task with a 1 year old pup! After three months it was not getting any better, worse in fact, so back to the vet we go.

She then suggested that we take her to a very reputable surgeon. We made the appointment and brought her in, she was diagnosed with a partial tear in her ACL and surgery was recommended. Of course we felt terrible for our little girl and wanted to do what was best for her so we made the appointment for surgery. The day before the surgery she became violently sick (she had a very bad reaction to he yearly shots which she had two weeks before.) The appointment for surgery was cancelled and I again I resorted to the internet following a link from the surgeons website to the Top Dog website. I read all the rave reviews and thought there couldn’t be any difference in the product we were using and GlycanAid HA. I kept on giving her what we had and did see some improvement but any time she ran around the house sure enough she was limping again that night.

I was getting near the end of the bottle of glucosamine and decided to order GlycanAid HA, the bottle arrived and I figured I would finish what we had before opening the new bottle but after seeing her limping every other night I bit the bullet and switched her to GlycanAid HA. The improvement was almost immediate!!!! She has been on it now for 2 months and I have not seen her limp for the last 5-6 weeks. We slowly started taking her for walks again and she even had a few play dates without any issues! I cannot say how grateful we are to have found this product. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

I want to tell you I’ve been using this product and it’s wonderfully effective. I was turned onto GlycanAid HA by a friend who’s pitbull was recovering from surgery. I ordered it and liked what it did for my 13 yr old Sheltie who has arthritis in her joints. So when a neighbor told me her old dog had fallen and had problems walking again I told her about your product. She brought him over to see me about a week after she gave him the supplement later that dog was walking like he didn’t have any problems. She was thrilled!. Three people and their beloved pets have been helped by you.

Thank you sincerely,

Our 7 year old, Sophia, an amazing Weimeraner had double ACL surgery when she was two. She has been on GlycanAid HA for over two years and nothing beyond well. We live at the beach and she is always running and playing with no efforts. Her joints are stronger, mobility much better and she is super healthy. We watch her weight and make sure she has the best food possible.

In short we have zero hesitation in recommending GlycanAid HA at all–simply the best.

Hello Dr. James,

Thanks for your follow up email. Now this is already l think our third order and our small Yorkie, Misha, is doing quite fine after her surgeries. This December she will be 8 years old and she is so active and happy dog. I think that big part of her successful rehabilitation is also your GlycanAid HA joint supplement product. This evening we went to our regular walk on the beach and because of low tides the sand was just perfect for her and she was running around even faster than dogs much younger than her and also bigger. Such a joy to see her so playful and happy. All the best to you and your team.
