GlycanAid HA Advanced Joint Nutrition for Dogs (150 Chewable Tablets) Made in USA with USA Ingredients: Glucosamine HCL, Chondroitin, Hyaluronic Acid, MSM

When Mister Wilson had to have TPLO surgery, I did my homework on recovery supplementation. My surgeon didn't give any recommendation beyond "put your money where you know it works." For me, I can only tell joint supplementation is working when you stop taking it. So, I looked at the formula that I was taking and there were only a few on the market that were close. After I struggled with the other (the cheaper), I switched to TopDog Health and haven't looked back. Mister Wilson was 8 yo when he had his first knee surgery and he rebounded faster than most dogs (including, attentive physical therapy, fish oil, turmeric, collagen). Mister Wilson is now 11 and has torn his other knee (which is expected) and is no longer a surgical candidate, but we are rehabbing him and overcoming this a little at a time. My dog does not know he is a senior and TopDog plays a large part of it.Stiffness/Pain Relief:I started giving it to my sister's dog, Mister Wilson's litter mate/brother and I can see a difference in the stiffness he was exhibiting before. Coupled with the surgical rebound, I have to say that it makes a difference in the overall comfort of an aging dog.Taste:My dog is very picky with food, so the taste is covered by wet food, but my sister's dog gobbles it up. It smells like brewer's yeast and there is a slight smell difference between bottles, but overall, it is puppy approved. It is easily broken up and mixed into food (I used bone broth collagen).Price Point:It is at the upper price range, which for most dog owners matters. But for me, compared to the Vet bills and discomfort that my dog would suffer through, it is worth the money. Mister Wilson is 67lbs (2 pills per day). A bottle would last us a little beyond 2 months. Now I am using 1 bottle a month.Formulation:The big one for me is the Cetyl-M, which is a joint lubricate, is missing from every other formula. I used to trust GNC with my vitamins and tried their doggie formula and my dog, had the worst GI upset (explosive). Every dog is different and I always went to my vet when I wanted to add or subtract something from his diet. I have never had GI issues with Mister Wilson.Over all, I am a customer for life, so much so, I pay for my sister's dog to give him the relief, after I noticed he was struggling with getting up. I know this product works because I have 2, 11 yo puppies again (lab/mastiff mixes). This is the closest formula to the one I take, Navy Veteran with arthritis and I tell everyone with an aging or injured dog, check out TopDog! I am a dog owner and was not compensated for this review.

Why do you need this for your pet. Because, it helps to lubricate the joints, which promotes smooth movement and reduces friction. This can improve your pet's mobility and flexibility, allowing them to move freely without discomfort or pain. Hyaluronic acid has anti-inflammatory properties, which can help to reduce joint inflammation and alleviate pain.Now, am I 100% sure it does this? No. But I'm not 100% sure it doesn't. I know the percentage of the hyaluronic acid in this product is sufficient.

I like this product for my dog that just had TPLO surgery as I believe ingredients are worthy -- however, $89 --seriously?? I honestly think $65 would be fair. Especially since some of us will have our dogs on this type product for 10 years.I was also disappointed that my dog will NOT take this supplement unless I hide in some canned food by crushing up into a powder. Wish they made it into a soft chew that my dog would eat without me having to crush and hide in can food first.I also like that this product was made by a Vet, a lot of other supplements on the market just sourced from marketing companies that have no expertise in this area. They are probably relying on what they read in a catalog / an order form at a trade show and throw together as a custom supplement. This same thing happens in with human supplements on here. I want to know that I am paying good money for a supplement that has been gone through double blind studies, etc... by someone who has a focus and specialty ... someone who knows what they are doing.... Not marketers that seek out money making opporunites in any arena they can find .... cell phone cases, silicon spatulas and some herb that helps libido and dog supplements. Sorry, I will get off my soap box now. Just had to speak my peace. Maybe Glycanaid can get the secret formula to how Dogges Dailies manage to make their pills so palatable for dogs. I love the ease of adding the soft chews that my dogs see as treats. The GlycanAid is a chore to add to wet food or sardine juice. But I love my dog as my son, so I guess I will dealth with the hassle of him not eating without work. Please let us know when you have quanitity deals!

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.
