The Missing Link Plus Canine Formula with Joint Support
Our 4 year old border collie mix began to limp badly earlier this year. I figured it was arthritis and asked our vet for recommendations. She advised fish oil so I looked for an omega-3 product. The Missing Link has completely changed Jetta's life - she bounces around like a puppy. I tried several other products which didn't work before I tried Missing Link. I am so glad I found it - thank you for offering this product.
I have been reading all the reviews on this item and its sounds like most are really happy with the results that their pets have gotten from this product. however i am very careful what i give my dogs i have 3 small dogs. 2 shizuts and one jack. the jack is 15 and moving slower these day i have a 16 year shitz who is blind had to have one eye removed and she is also deaf. she barks allnight does anyone who has used this think it will help my dogs and i have a 2 year old shizut who is a ball of energy . would this product be go for her?thanks for any help anyone can give or advice on this product.
We rescued an American Pit Bull Terrier with severe skin issues and slightly underweight. She was 38lbs when we got her. We started w/ 1 tsp in her morning dry mixed with 1/4 cup of wet . Gradually we started giving her about 1 1/2 tsp. She ate it up and within a few weeks the itchiness & other skin problems were gone and her coat was shiny. Her weight was up to 42lbs in one month! This powder also helps to maintain weight (along with exercise). The good ingredients are what most dog food brands don't have. I prefer using The Missing Link w/ Joint Support opposed to pills or chewables because it supplements my dog's diet in a healthy way without her even knowing it! She just thinks it's breakfast time as usual. The glucosamine also helps her joints. I'm very happy with this product!
i have 2 large breeds on missing link plus. both love the taste on their food. this has helped both very much with age and size in that they both run and play in over an acre. they play rough and tumble games and missing ling helps with stiffness and soreness of play time. their vet recommended it and is very pleased with the results as i am also.
Unfortunately, as good as I know this supplement is for his health, if he smells the Missing Link in his food he will not eat it. At first, he ate his food without a problem with ML mixed in. But now, he turns his nose up to the smell. I really don't know what to do. I know he needs this. Any ideas are greatly appreciated.
my dog is a 10 year old 83 lb black lab that was diagnosed to be diabetic at the age of 5 and on insulin 2 times daily. He is on science diet for diabetic dogs plus sugar free metamucil and arthroplex and when I can find salmon oil or other omega 3 oil in his food. Would this increase his glucose with the molasses?
No, but you have to be careful of the dosage and start at a low dose and gradually increase. It is high in fiber, what would happen to you if you suddenly started a high fiber supplement?
The manufacturer recommends, because of the high fiber content, that you start with small amounts and gradually increase to the recommended level over the course of a week or two.
My dog is old & is already taking glucosumine, i need to know the content of missing link's dose in order to supplement her to her appropriate/needed daily dose.
