When my 7 year old year old Yorkie had ACL surgery I was devastated.  I spent hours searching through the web for information on the recovery process but could not find anything satisfactory until I came upon the Top Dog Heath Website. It was a God send, the website not only had a depth of information but many testimonials on other dog owner’s experiences.

I downloaded the Home Rehabilitation Booklet and followed the instructions. I found the instructions and information most helpful and it helped my dog’s recovery. The website gave me a piece of mind and helped speed up my dogs recovery. This site is a must for any dog owner and is highly recommended.

This ACL post op guide was awesome. The instructions from my Vet were so minimal and conflicted with what the surgeon said to do the first time Harley ruptured his other ACL. My beagle lab mix just had a second ACL repair with suture like the first one that he recovered from completely. He didn’t rupture the second one for 4 years! He weighs 50 pounds and we are in week 7 post surgery. He is 7 years old. It is good to see he is progressing normally. This has been a long 7 weeks but I know time invested now will pay off for him later.

Thank you so much!
