I have been giving my Labrador, Laska, Leap Years for a couple of years now and she turned 15 in September.
In August we incidentally found on chest x rays that she had a lung tumor. Oncologists evaluated her and she has 2 other small tumors but is otherwise well. She has been taking chemotherapy since August and is doing well ( in spite of diminished vision due to PRA and hearing loss) The only change recently is that she does not like her Leap Years or other treat supplements anymore, but have continued to give it disguised in food treats. Hope we will be using it for a long time.
Store owner replied:
Thank you for your kind words. Sorry to learn of Laska's cancer diagnosis. Chemo can be hard on the taste buds. Your bond will see both of you through this challenge. Wishing you and Laska many happy moments together.
Your friends at Leap Years.

My vet recommended Leap Years when my dog had an episode of IVDD. She told him it would help support his body during recovery and also for maintenance. I'm happy to say that with physical therapy and supplements he has made a full recovery!!
Rocky is nearing completion of his 13th year and is going strong. He easily walks 2-3 miles and has plenty of energy left over. He loves to play (tug of war is his speciality - he always wins) and is very active. I do credit Leap Years as an essential part of his happy life. Of course, Rocky gets "home made", human quality food that is nutritionally balanced. No cancer causing kibble in my house! I hope to keep his life on track for a long, long time. His vitality has significantly increased since taking Leap Years, and I am so grateful I found it.
My 17yo female yorkie has the start of dementia and within 2 wks of starting LeapYears there was improvement. The first time she greeted me when I came home with a little bounce in her step, I cried. I was so happy to see a little bit of her personality coming through. It's been almost 2mos and her personality is still bright. She's not standing in corners or wondering about aimlessly. I am hoping this result continues.
This supplement has turned my dog, Jet's, life around since fall of 2024 when it was looking like the beginning of the end for him with some unpleasant hind leg injuries. After a month and a half on leap years, he's recovered like it never happened and even been acting several years younger than he is.
Our two, 11 year old dogs, have been using this product for 2 months. Jadzia continues to show zero signs of Sundowners. This product stopped it in its tracks within 3 days. She will remain on it for the rest of her life. Tiberius hasn't developed any signs of Sundowners but we're giving it to him as a preventative supplement.
Laska has been taking Leap Years for a couple of years. She is now 15, and doing well in spite of a recent diagnosis of pulmonary carcinoma and undergoing treatment .
I have noticed where she normally takes them readily each morning she now sometimes spits them out or has to be encouraged.
I also wanted to mention since you changed packaging to the 30 count, and we get 2 containers for each month, having the first of month tan colored doses in each container was a bit confusing and less convenient.
Store owner replied:
Thank you for this valuable feedback. Laska is a beauty! We are currently working on a better solution for monthly convenience. Please reach out to support@leapyears.com for tips about Laska's changing taste.

Thank you for your comment and so glad Leap Years is meaningful to your dogs and you!

Thank you for your kind words, Debbie S. We know there is a human at the end of every leash and we are dedicated to supporting the bond between you and your canine bestie.
Chews are now very hard. Murphy will not take them. I have to cut them up with a sharp knife and add it to his food.
Store owner replied:
Thank you so much for your kind words. We are grateful that Leap Years was meaningful to Bella. Rest in peace, Bella. Wishing you many fond memories of your times together.
Have no idea. How can you tell? Just being nice. Fingers crossed!
Store owner replied:
Hi,
We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your initial thoughts and for giving Leap Years a kind rating. It can take some time to observe the full benefits of Leap Years (measured at 90 days in our clinical trial), and we're grateful for your trust in our product.
Our commitment at Leap Years is to provide the best possible support for your beloved dogs. Supporting cellular health is an investment in healthy aging.
Thanks again for your support.
Buddy my 16-year-old beagle-jack russel is more alert during the day time and has less nighttime restlessness.

He is the love of my life as he is always with me even at work where he gets pats and rubs by every client
Thank you Leap Years for giving him healthy years and hopefully many more ahead
Ginnine & Cody say thank you!!!
soon to be 17 years of age Yorky about 8 pounds no teeth left and pretty much blind, but she has become more active and willing to go outside for walks since started taking the supplements which is nice to see again
Store owner replied:
Hi Dan,
Thank you so much for the wonderful review of our Healthy-Aging Support! We're so glad to hear your Yorky is feeling more active.
Would you mind if we made a small correction to your review? You mentioned she hasn't become more active, but I believe you meant she has? If you'd like us to update that, please let us know or feel free to edit it if you still have the link handy.
Thanks again for your support,
Ginny
My 13 1/2 year old Australian Shepherd is definitely more alert and active on Leap Years. She has learned and taught herself new tasks since being on Leap Years. To be fair, she is also on Purina Pro Plan Bright Minds food and Proneurozone. She was having incontinence which we thought was hormonal but it was cognitive and the proneurozone fixed that. My only complaint is that she loved the chews at first but the chews are hard in the most recent container and she refuses to eat them so I have to shove them down her throat or else mix them into canned food and hope she eats all of it.
Ame my 20 year old miniature poodle totally changes with his Leap Year daily. Ran out for a week and really noticed his lack of energy and appetite!
So grateful that Piglets mom recommended!
