| Missing Link Question and Top Knot Gel Question OKay I got Chloe Nutro Ultra today since it has better all natural ingrediants and I really hope this helps with her allergies. I also got Missing Link. I have a quick question- it says to do 1 teaspoon for dogs up to 20 lbs. Well Chloe is only 3 lbs so should I really cut down on that? And how much should I do? I also went to glamour dogs today and got the Pet silk topknot gel so whenever chloe is doing a photo shoot she wont have all the wispies all over the place. Anyone tried this stuff? Do you like it? By the way I met the owner of Glamour Dogs today- they are super nice and I really love that store

| Chachi and Jewels are 6 and 10 lbs and I do the whole teaspoon for their food. The whole amount wont hurt her but if you want to give less what about a half teaspoon

I just gave her about half a teaspoon just now and I wanted to make sure that wasnt going to be too much. So far she wont eat it. I hope she will start eating this new food and I hope it helps her allergies. Everyone cross your fingers Now I got to order some products for her coat.

| I would start out slow with the Missing Link - I only gave Oscar a tiny bit (maybe a 5th of a tsp) to start out and gradually increased the amount of the course of a week or so. The first time he ate it he was smacking his lips as if it was peanut butter! He ate it right up though - maybe try a smaller amount with Chloe until she gets used to it. I mix Oscar's in with his kibble and a bit of warm water so the ML powder creates like a gravy. If you give her too much too fast she'll probably get diarrhea. Oscar now gets half to 3/4 of a tsp in his dinner only (not his breakfast). To me, a whole tsp just seems like too much for these little guys. Hope this helps! P.S. ML might also help with Chloe's hair breaking and her itchiness - it seems to have helped Oscar a lot!

| I switched my Chester to Nutro and it made an amazing difference. All the medications and baths helped, but the food was the turning point in his skin. He was a rescue whose eyes, ears, mouth and skin were all infected. The vet told me to spend a lot of money or put him down - no inbetween. Needlesss to say, $2500.00 later, I had the love of my life. He was with me for five years (approximate age 15-17) until last October. I also give my current dogs Lanitone (spelling?). It may be similar to what you're currently adding. Great choice of dog food, IMO. I still feed my dogs nothing but Nutro. Sure hope it makes a difference for you. |

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I started Cali out with 1/5 of a teaspoon and worked up to 3/4 of a teaspoon and she is 4 1/2 lbs. She loves it. My Pom got diahrrea from it so I stopped it. Her coat is good anyway. I want to get that Topnot gel. Can you get it online?
