I feed both of my yorkies out of the same bowl...I free feed...and every morning I put 1 tsp of missing link on top of their dry food and leave it out all day. The next day, if they haven't eaten all their food from the day before, I pour it back in the bag and get a fresh scoop of food, and put 1 tsp of ML on it. I just don't like throwing out food. But I figure if I pour it back in the bag, it will get mixed back in with the food that doesn't have ML on it.
