| missing link & cotten coat Will the missing link product help the cotten coat? I groom him everyday most of the twice a day but he still gets mats in his hair. Will missing link help make his hair more silky? or am I stuck with this problem forever?

| Well, I'm not sure if it was the missing link or the cowboy magic, or a combination of those things, but my Luna's coat was all matted and cottony and now it's so easy to comb and soft as can be The ML is good for them health-wise anyway, so why not give it a shot? Just start slowly, it has ground flaxseed in it, which is full of fiber and will hurt their tummies if given too much too soon (think lots of gas ) Gotta start slowly

| I hope it works. HE is such a pretty dog but his hair is tangleing so bad that he has started pitching a fit when i groom him. The cowboy Magic where do I get this? I have looked in the pet stores but havent found it. He used to have really bad dry skin but I changed his food and that is getting alot better.

You can find it online, or if you'd like to get it right away, find a horse or feed store near you and call them and ask if they have the detangler and shine. I put it on them right after their baths, just a few drops. Then on their brushing nights, I have some in a spray bottle diluted with water that I spray on them before brushing. It might be a little bit expensive, but remember that a little goes a long way and it'll last and last. If you put on too much, the dog may look greasy, but it's okay, it's a great conditioner as well. I use it on my hair and it's done wonders for me It will take a couple of weeks to see a difference with the Missing Link, plus you have to start them slowly, so probably a month or so. That's when I noticed a big difference in my girls, around a month. Good luck with all this, and let us know how it's working!

| I started using missing link oct 15th.. here is a before and after picture for you to see the difference that I posted a while back. So the ML made a believer out of me. And the cowboy magic detangler worked great for my doggs but now they rarely ever have a mat in their hair and they play outside some everyday. some days when its warm and pretty their outside more than inside cause they love going outside to play. I know this had to do with the missing link because I was already using cowboy magic detangler, conditioner and shampoo long before these last pictures were taken. first pics were before using ML and then the ones made like a month later.

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | That's a good question - I bought some in Petsmart and my girls will never eat that bag in less than 3 months - I wonder if it can be frozen too - anyone know ?? |

| If you notice on the label its says must be refrigerated! I put a tupperware container in the fridge, and freeze the rest. So far it has worked for me. |

| What would I do without YT? I can't wait to get the missing link. I orderd it some time back so it sould be in any day now. I use those vacum seal bags so it should last in the freezer until it is all used. Thanks so much for everyones response. I have learned so much about yorkies since i found this websight.
