| I got my missing link today I got it and started them on it this evening. I took half a teaspoon and divided it into each one of their bowls. But I still think Kizzy ended up eating part if not most of maggies. So i'm gonna start putting kizzy on the deck while maggie eats and vice versa or maggie would never get much to eat unless I am where kizzy can see me and tell her to let maggie eat some too. then she will step back a few feet and watch maggie eat. But If I have to leave the room for something then she roots her head right back in and eats most of it as maggie eats slow and not a lot at once. But they both seemed to like their food with it. So I'm gonna watch and see how it goes for a while then make new pics. I just made some Friday, I wrote the date on the bag so I will remember which pics I made 2 days before they started eating it. I've also ordered royale canine for yorkies too.

| Just be careful how much you give them at first or runny poop will run your house! Kaya weighs 5 pounds and I started her on 1/4 teaspoon and she had bad poop. (not that any poop is really good, LOL) Tinka is eight pounds and did fine. omega |

| yes, ive heard thats why i only put 1/2 teaspoon between them but Kizzy weighs over 9 lbs and I know she ate most of it anyway. actually, its not even a teaspoon, ya know the plastic coated spoons for babies when their teething, that is what I used, level and halved it between the two bowls so I doubt it was over 1/2 tspn if even 1/2.

| It made Hobbs' poop runny at first but not Hootie's. They eat out of the same bowl and I put fresh food with 1 tsp Missing Link on it out every morning. I free feed. Can't wait to see before and after pics of Kizzy and Maggie! |

| how many times do i put in his food? I started my baby on missing link last week on monday and i give him 1/8 of teaspoon but do i give it to him in every feeding i only feed him twice a day? I also got Linatone and i also add 1/8 of a teaspoon to his food am i getting carried away with these products i do notice a difference in his coat and his skin is not as flaky as before, i also just bathed him with the CC products and noticed a difference too. No runny poop for my pup poo looks the same as before and he eats all his food too By the way my pup ate the powder i put in my shoes i hope this is not harmfull for him, he didnt seem to be acting any different but just wanted to see if anyone else dog has done this before.

You can give him a little more than 1/8 tsp. Since you feed him twice a day, I would put 1/8 tsp. in his food each time you feed him. If he does well on that and his poo isn't runny, you can start putting 1/4 tsp in his food twice a day. I think most people do 1/2 tsp per day for their yorkies. I would post your question about the powder in your shoes on the sick/emergency forum and see if anyone can give you some answers. I honeslty have no idea on that one. Hope he's ok! | |

| I FINALLY ordered some Missing Link along with some other things from www.dog.com - looking forward to starting it. I'm hoping it will help to thicken up Jaxon's fur a bit.
