Vet Review

Similar to the original Cosequin for dog formula, I have found that many picky canines will prefer the Cosequin Soft Chews over the original formula, and it is in those cases that I will often reach for this product first. This wonderful product contains the same glucosamine and chondroitin of the original formula that significantly supports joint health. I have only rarely seen diarrhea in dogs when using this product, however it¿s easy to administer formulation does make it one of my favorites. I therefore give it an overall rating of 4.5 out of 5.

This wonderful whole food human grade nutritional supplement truly fills in the gaps in nutrition that are lost in the processing of commercial pet foods. Not only do the wide variety of nutrients including flax and other nutrients optimize nutrition for the dog, but the inclusion of added glucosamine also helps maintain healthy joints. I have found that when animal guardians add this wonderful formula to their canine companions' diets, that the immune systems function better, as well as there is better digestion and overall health. While I will recommend the Missing Link only formula to all of my new puppy clients, I will also recommend the Missing Link Plus Canine with Joint support to all of my senior dogs, especially those with any signs of arthritis. Most pets find this formula highly palatable, which is easy to sprinkle and mix with whatever diet is being fed. And boy, will it make that diet so much better and healthier for the pet. I therefore give this product an overall ranking of a 4.5 out of 5.
