My toy poodle is on missing link plus (she is 4 and has arthritis) and she too gets a whole teaspoon

The results are amazing!

Oh, and make sure you store it in the fridge

is it a whole teaspoon per day???

It is $9 at petsmart.com or $12 at petsmart. You should print and bring the print out. They will adjust the price.

I know it sounds like alot. Some people split it up and give some in the morning and some in the evening. And it's 1tsp no matter the size of your Yorkie, unless you have one over 20 lb.

I give Destiny (4-5 pounds) and Scampers (5 pounds) 1/4 a teaspoon each. I give Trixie (9 pounds) 1/2 a teaspoon. I know it says you give a whole teaspoon but this little amount has worked great for me. Scampers had such a huge improvement from just being on 1/4 a teaspoon every day.
I think you can do it either way. I give mine a small amount because they will only eat a small amount of food and if I give them anymore it is just wasted.

I'm thinking of trying it - but my girls have too much hair - I want to see if it helps with cottony coats ....any advise ?? Is it only for sparse hair ??

MyTrixie143 · 12-22-2006, 05:56 AM

Scampers has alot of hair. His hair is thick. In fact his size is deceiving because when you wet him down or put clothes on him he is half the size because of all that hair. The Missing Link has worked wonders on his hair. His hair use to feel dry brittle and cottony. Now it is smooth and silky. The results were just stunning. He even use to matt up alot but he doesn't anymore with the ML.

Here is an after picture of Scampers after I put him on the ML. Sorry I don't have a before picture though. You can't even tell his hair is thick in this photo but trust me it is. His hair would never have looked like this without it.

I highly recommend it! I am sure you would be pleased with the results. I have really noticed a difference in Annie & Cody's coats. Just shinier and all around easier to manage. Cody still gets mats - he had a cottony coat - but not like before and his coat actually feels much silkier now too. The change in his coat could also be that he has gotten older so his coat has "matured" along with him. Also, I think the mats he does get now are from me making him wear a sweater at times. But they are not nearly as hard to get out as they were before.
It seems expensive but if you divide the cost over the months it last and how many dogs you could give it to its not really that bad. I feed a teaspoon a day to each of my yorkies and 2 teaspoons a day to my collie. I think one bag would tell you whether or not you felt it was worth the $$ to continue with it. I have already purchased another bag as I didnt want to run out since I am sooooooo pleased with the results.

Villette, I used to think Hobbs had a cottony coat...that is, until I started him on the Missing Link. Look at these before and after pics:

http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=48063

Both of my yorkies eat out of the same bowl and I free feed. I put 1tsp on a fresh bowl of kibble every morning. But I gradually introduced the Missing Link because it really upset Hobbs' tummy at first. He had to work up a tolerance to it. Hootie has been on Missing Link since the day she came home at 8 weeks.

I started my babies on THE PLUS a month ago and there hair is getting beautiful

O.M.Goodness ONLY 90 DAYS THAT stuff cost $$$$$$$$$
I wish i knew about this stuff 10 yrs ago..

chachi · 12-22-2006, 07:06 AM

When I started giving it to mine Jewels was 3 months and Chachi was 4 months. I gave the whole teaspoon

red98vett · 12-22-2006, 07:30 AM

I'm finally going to try it ...the girls and I are making some Christmas rounds today and I'm taking them to Petsmart and think I'll pick some up. This should be big fun - Cheri jumps like a monkey to be carried and Chanel will skip her way thru the store ....after reading Brutusmama's post about not taking them everywhere I go - this is a big deal for the girls lol - they LOVE going to petsmart and peoples houses but not other places....I think it reminds them of the vet

Hobbs looks BEAUTIFUL ! I am 100% postive Chanel is cottony ...no doubt but am going to see if it helps with texture - the older she gets the harder it is to keep her looking smooth.

Thank you for saving me the money. I bought some yesterday. My husband thought I was crazy for taking the printout. He didn't believe it could be cheaper on line from the same store. And then I had $4 in crazy cash from their Christmas purchases. So all in all, it was $5.14.

But I hadn't read the part about the fridge, going to move it now. Glad I bought the small bag!

What form is this in? Is it like crunch or is it a liquid?
I haven't seen it a PetSmart - Where would they put it?

It's in the supplement Aisle - where they sell the vitamins and joint supplements -
