For Glenn and his dog Cooper, healthy aging didn’t start with age—it started with intention. Cooper, a joyful and endlessly curious dog, has been taking Leap Years® since the product first launched three years ago.
Glenn made the decision early on to support his long-term health at the cellular level, focusing on brain health and overall vitality before any signs of decline. It’s a proactive approach that speaks to a shared truth among pet parents: the small choices you make today can shape how many good years you get together tomorrow.
Healthy aging isn’t something you do alone—it’s built in the everyday moments you share. For Glenn and Cooper, it comes down to time together, staying engaged, and making intentional choices that support more good years ahead.
Question 01
Cooper is still a relatively young dog, but you’ve already been giving him Leap Years® for three years. What made you start thinking proactively about his long-term health so early?
Cooper has been taking Leap Years® since the product was released! I started because I wanted to be proactive about supporting his healthy aging. I learned changes occur at a cellular level over time and figured it would be much easier to help maintain healthy cellular function early than to try to address things later. I am supporting his brain health, activity levels, and overall vitality now so he can enjoy more healthy, engaged years ahead. It just felt like the responsible thing to do for my best friend!
Question 02
When you think about Cooper’s personality, what are some of the traits that make him uniquely him?
Cooper is the definition of happy! He is also a curious soul. We call him Snooper Cooper as he loves to explore. He is always ready for an adventure with his dad and Pop Pop, whether it is a new trail or just a regular walk. He is incredibly affectionate and loving, with a big friendly personality that makes everyone smile. What really stands out is how engaged he stays with the world around him and with our family. He feels part human! He lights up when he is exploring or playing, and that joyful, curious spirit is what makes him so special to me.
Question 03
You’ve included Leap Years® in Cooper’s routine for three years. What role does it play in your overall approach to supporting his long-term health and wellbeing?
I have included Leap Years® in Cooper’s routine since the product was released, and it is a key part of how I support his long-term health and wellbeing. This is especially true when it comes to his brain health and cognition. It helps support his attention, focus, and engagement with the world and with us. By supporting healthy cellular processes in the brain, it helps him stay mentally sharp, curious, and interested in the things he loves. I combine it with fresh food, fish oil, Vitamin D, EVOO, and plenty of daily activity, but Leap Years® gives that extra layer of support for his cognition so he can keep feeling and acting like his wonderful self as the years go on.
Question 04
If you had to sum it up, how does healthy aging happen together for you and Cooper?
Healthy aging happens together for us through the everyday moments we share and the intentional time we spend side by side. The supplement supports him at the cellular level for brain health and vitality. Cooper, his dad and mom, his Pop Pop and Nanny all have our “supplement time,” where we all take our supplements. Though I would say Cooper enjoys his more than his Pop Pop does. Even that simple moment is precious quality time. Additionally, Cooper’s vitality rubs off on us and keeps us dedicated to our daily adventures. We explore new environments, enjoy playtime that keeps him active, and just being present with each other is something priceless. That is what makes healthy aging feel joyful and connected for our entire family.
“Cooper is more than just a pet. He is a family member—why not do everything you can for them when they do so much for us?”
Question 05
Why is keeping Cooper mentally engaged and curious important to you, and what are some of the ways you encourage that in everyday life?
Keeping Cooper mentally engaged and curious is really important to me because it supports his brain health and helps him stay happy and fulfilled. In everyday life I encourage it by taking him on different walking routes so he can explore new environments, and we bring him to day care to socialize with all his amazing friends. These little habits keep his mind active, strengthen our bond, and make our days together more meaningful. Cooper is more than just a pet. He is a family member. Why not do everything you can for them when they do so much for us?
Healthy aging isn’t about waiting for change—it’s about showing up for the moments you share. For Glenn and Cooper, that means staying connected, engaged, and intentional, so the years ahead are lived fully—together.
