Since she only gets 1/8-1/4 tsp, what I have should last till it isn't good anymore.

Shana - I didn't refrigerate till it was open for 3 days and I noticed it said to refrigerate!!!

Ive had mine for a few weeks so should I just throw it out and get a new bag? Ive been giving it to all the girls everyday and they havent had any problems. I wonder why it has to be refrigerated

It sure doesnt look like something that would need to be kept cold.

I am really interested in getting some of this for Romeo. We have been having trouble with him matting. I am looking into the formula with glucosamine due to his knees. I was wondering,,,how much are you supposed to give them a day?

Directions:
Daily amount: Dogs:

Add the Missing Link to your dog's regular food according to its weight. Because of the high fiber content, start with small amounts and gradually increase to the recommended level over the course of a week or two. Dogs with a weak immune system may benefit even more if their intake is doubled for the first 90 days following the adjustment period.
up to 20 pounds - 1 teaspoon
20 to 40 pounds - 2 teaspoons
40 to 80 pounds - 3 teaspoons
80 to 110 pounds - 4 teaspoons
over 110 pounds - 6 teaspoons.

Shana,
I wouldn't throw it out. If you look at the ingredients they don't really require refrigeration. I am sure it is just to prolong the life of the product. Since I buy the big bag, I freeze half to keep it even fresher.

I also think by feeding an Omega 3 and 6 supplement like Missing Link you will be less likely to have skin allergies (which necessitates vet bills, which we all know are much more than $20.00) and will have a beautiful, shiny coat to be proud of.

Oops! Lacy's Mom already posted the link to my thread. hehehe

Obviously I am a big fan on the Missing Link! Look how nice and shiny my Hobbs' coat is!!!!!!

Rebecca, how old was your baby in the first 2 pics and how old in the second 2. My Lexi has BAD allergies and can not use missing link because it has yeast in it...
