As our canine companions age, their needs evolve, requiring specialized care to ensure they enjoy a happy and comfortable life. Just like humans, many middle-aged to senior dogs may experience a range of age-related conditions, from joint stiffness to canine cognitive decline. Often, veterinarians recommend supplements that address specific need states, as there are not many options available on the market that comprehensively support the overall process of aging in dogs. Until now, with Leap Years Cellular Health Supplement.
Leap Years® is a chewable two-part system of soft chews that boosts dog vitality at the cellular level, where aging actually starts. It restores cell function and dog’s health throughout your dog’s entire system. Not only will your dog’s activity level and mobility return, but you’ll also see improvements mentally and emotionally, as well. In other words, your dog will be themselves, again.
But what makes Leap Years the “go-to” choice for veterinarians when it comes to promoting healthy aging in dogs? Why is Leap Years a veterinarian recommended dog supplement?
Leap Years® is shifting the paradigm of how dogs age by changing how we care for older dogs. It doesn’t just address conditions related to aging; it impacts the underlying cellular causes of aging.
Target Formulation
Over time, your dog’s NAD+ levels naturally decline, impacting the ability of their cells to function, repair, and replace themselves properly. This leads to diseases and the breakdown of different functions, physical and mental. Leap Years® is the only dual action dog supplement system that targets aging at the source – the cellular level. The tasty soft chews are formulated with LY-D6™ & LY-D2™, a proprietary combination of an NAD+ Booster derived from nicotinamide (Vitamin B3) and a senolytic antioxidant found in fruits and vegetables. Together they work at the cellular level to boost NAD+ levels and reduce senescent (damaged) cells in aging dogs, all the while, supporting mobility, heart health and canine brain function.
Veterinarian Recommended Supplement
Veterinarians recommend Leap Years to address the root causes of aging, starting at the cellular level. Read more from some of our Leap Years Veterinary Partners from across the United States.
“Leap Years® has been a game-changing supplement for my patients. For example, I’ve observed reversion to puppy-like playfulness and energy, restoration of ability to sleep through the night, as well as improved appetite in a 13.5-year-old Spaniel. A 15-year-old large mixed breed patient started playfully romping while on walks with his owner and has been demonstrating improved cognitive function and engagement with his owner and other dogs. I have also seen an improvement in strength and stability, as well as a reduction in signs of dementia in a 15-year-old Golden Retriever cancer survivor. The most impressive aspect is that dog owners sometimes report positive effects in their pets’ quality of life within 2 weeks of starting the supplement, and the most substantial improvements have been in my oldest and most frail patients. As a veterinarian, it is most amazing to be able to offer a product that can give pets better quality time with their people.”
– Dr. Heather Oxford DVM, MPH, CVA, CCRT, California
“As a veterinarian, I highly recommend Leap Years for senior dogs because it supports their cellular health and overall well-being. NAD, or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, plays a crucial role in energy production and DNA repair within cells, which is particularly important as dogs age. By enhancing NAD levels, Leap Years helps mitigate the effects of aging, promoting vitality and extending quality of life for our beloved senior canine companions. No other supplement on the market offers these benefits.”
– Dr. Sylvalyn Hammond, DVM, South Carolina
“I am a small animal veterinarian with a special interest in senior pets. I am most excited about the potential of Leap Years in revolutionizing how we approach cognitive dysfunction in senior pets. Up until now, we did not have any products that could actually reverse some of the damage of cognitive changes in senior dogs. Leap Years could change the game for senior dog owners and how we view and treat cognitive dysfunction. I am so excited about this product and immensely impressed by the research done to back it up.”
– Dr. Amanda Steffen DVM, CVA, Ohio
“As a veterinarian who focuses on caring for older dogs, I see patients who are often on a long list of medications and supplements. Many of these patients are simultaneously struggling with decreased appetite, nausea, oral pain or cognitive decline, all of which make medicating a challenge. Additionally, the more medications my patients are on, the more chances there are for adverse drug reactions. Leap Years is a totally novel supplement that effectively cleans up the excess underfunctioning cells in all the body systems by boosting a natural process in the body. Instead of adding one more complicating factor, it cleans things up so the body can function more effectively.”
– Dr. Kelly Hutchison DVM, CCRT, cVMA, Colorado
“We at Silver Maple Veterinary Clinic were eager to try Leap Years once we discovered it because it was the first supplement for senility in dogs that had scientific backing and studies. We not only dispense it to many of our geriatric patients with good results but also have been using it for over a year in our 16-year-old Labrador retriever. She was going downhill fast mentally but has now pretty much stabilized. We have not seen any progression of her senility for months. We are so happy to have this product in our arsenal for our patients and loved ones.”
– Dr. Annemarie Yoder, DVM, Pennsylvania
“I am very excited about the potential for my patients to have better, more comfortable lives with this support. The research that went into this product is very intriguing, and I expect to see great things!”
– Dr. Matthew Fricke, DVM, CVA, ANT-C, Oregon
“I recommend Leap Years because it is a unique tool that supports not only the longevity of patients but also their health span. Much of my work focuses on palliative care, and the improvement I have seen when integrating Leap Years into these patient’s protocols speaks for itself.”
– Dr. Lindsey Wendt DVM, CVA, CVFT, CCRT, California
Clinical Testing
Veterinarians choose products based on clinical evidence demonstrating their effectiveness in promoting canine health. A double blind, placebo controlled clinical trial with Leap Years was conducted at North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine. Here’s what veterinary neurologist, Dr. Olby, who designed and executed the trial had to say:
“The outcomes of the clinical trial, especially the enhancements in cognition, are encouraging and represent a unique achievement. This rigorous study, which acknowledges the difficulties aging pets and their owners encounter, shows dedication to scientific methods aimed at improving the quality of life for our canine companions.”
– Natasha Olby Vet MB, PhD, DACVIM (Neuro)
Veterinarians have witnessed firsthand the positive impact of Leap Years on their patients. Through controlled clinical trial data and real-world experiences, Leap Years has demonstrated its use in supporting canine cognitive function, frailty levels, activity and overall happiness in dogs.
Satisfaction and value to pet parents is paramount for veterinarians when considering recommending a product. Leap Years has garnered praise from countless pet parents who have witnessed noticeable improvements in their middle aged and senior dog cognitive function, mobility, and vitality. Veterinarians consider the feedback and experiences of their clients, further reinforcing their recommendation of Leap Years for healthy aging in dogs.

“There are so many things on the market that are sold to pet owners that seem too good to be true that are really expensive and seem really fancy, that are going to save the day. I have tried a lot of them and have seen little to no results. We saw immediate results with Leap Years. I will stand behind the recommendation personally, and my veterinarian will stand behind the recommendation. I’ve seen such improvements with Vinnie that I have recommended it to friends and family. Leap Years have given us hope that our dogs will age better.”
– Jen B.
