| Question about missing link Hi, I just bought my yorkie some Missing Link yesterday as seeing it on here so much. I was wondering how much do you guys give your yorkie and how long does the bag last. On the back of the bag it says that you're only supposed to give them 1tsp per 25lbs. and that you're supposed to use it in 90days. But with my puppy only weighing 4 lbs. the bag will surely last longer than 90days. I was wondering if you could give me some advice on how much I should give him? I don't want to give him too much, but I don't want the bag to go to waster either. Any info would help!!! Thanks! |

| This is my first bag. At the rate that I am going, I figured I am going to have to throw away maybe 1/4 bag by January.

| Hootie and Hobbs eat out of the same bowl so I sprinkle 1tsp on their food every morning. I free feed, but I put down fresh food with fresh ML on it every morning. If you only have 1 yorkie, I would use 1/2 tsp. daily. Missing Link goes bad after 90 days so you have to throw any unused portion away after 90 days. If you are using 1/2 tsp daily, you will not use the whole bag in 90 days. Use what you can in 90 days and next time get the 8oz bag if you can. If not, it's not that big of a deal. Missing Link isn't really expensive. |

| What exactly in ML goes bad after 90 days - especially if it is refrigerated? Has anyone ever used it beyond the 90 day mark? I guess I was wondering if it really goes bad or if it is the company trying to make more money... any know? omega |

| I would use any more than 1/4 lb per day - but you need to work up to that slowly. Start by just sprinkiling a small amount on your baby's food. Gradually increase over a few weeks till you reach the desired amount. I haven't used ML past 90 days cause we just started a little over a month ago. I split a bag with a friend and I'm certain I will still end up throwing some out.
