| Missing Link users, Please advise!!! Do the first couple of days after you begin Missing Link really loosen up stools? Is 1/4tsp. too much to start with? We had quite a mess this morning and I'm guessing that is the culprit.

| I do use Missing Link for Tatum but sorry, I don't remember any stool issues. She's been using it for almost a year now so it may just be that I don't remember. I know this supplement is supposed to make their hair nicer but I haven't really seen any change in hers. Is there something better out there? Anyone use something else they like more?

| I have used Missing Link+ for over a year now. I am well pleased with the product. I don't remember if it loosened our dogs stools, but any change in diet can. At first I measured, but now I put it in a spice bottle which I keep refrigerated and liberally sprinkle it over their food. After using it for so long, I can "eyeball" approximately 1 teaspoon. The directions on the amount to feed should be on the bag, I don't have the bag anymore -- just put the last of the ML+ in a spice bottle. ML+ is a very safe product to use, it is a "superfood" rather than an artificial source of vitamins. GOOD LUCK! btw.... just found a terrific site with GREAT prices for the ML -- $10.19 plus $5.00 ups ground shipping. http://www.petvetdirect.com |

| Hmmm, now I wonder if she ate something else that didn't agree with her. If neither of you had any stool issues right off the bat then it must not be the Missing Link. Chattiesmom, have you noticed a difference in your yorkies coat?

| This isn't really about missing link..BUT my breeder sent Maximsu home with the Health Extension skin and coat conditoner which I don't use because he doesn't seem to like the liquid going into his food...do you put the missing link liquid in the food or water??..Can it even go in the water..I figure I have it, I matters well use it and see if makes his hair even nicer, but he won't eat wet food...he hates it!!! Do you think in the water is okay..or I should just give up?

| Try putting it in his water if he doesn't like it in his food. I wonder if it taste bad since he wont eat it. Lily ate this missing link right up but it is alot of fiber and whoa nellie, it sure loosen her up.

| LOL...Maximsu won't eat his food if the bowl is still wet from me cleaning it and I put the food in..he has like a heart attack...lol, he wants nothing to do with it..Maximus had an upset belly the past 2 days also..I think my bf's mom was giving him some EXTRA treats/table food after I asked her not too . But now he is all better...maybe trying boiling some white rice and add about 2 tsp to her kibble it will help with diarheaa..I made some for Maximus yesterday and his poop was back to normal this morning!!!

| I just started Kodah & Stormy on Missing Link this week. I was a little worried that Kodah wouldn't eat it as she is a little picky on her food. But she took right to it. I use one teaspoon for each of them & neither had loose stools. Now I will give it some time & see if I notice any difference in their coats. |
