does missing link have omega 3 and 6 fatty acids? i ordered missing link to give to my bella, but i am wondering if it had omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids in it??? does anyone know if giving both would be too much??? the last thing i want to do is oversupplement .........thanks!!!:) |
Yes, missing link does have omega 3 in it. That is the main nutrient. Don't think omega 6 is in it. I don't remember seeing it listed! Carol & Buddy |
ok thank you!!! do i still need to give bella omega 6? |
No Omega 3 is all you need |
Thanks!!!!! :) |
You will love the Missing link. My dogs have both been using it for about a year |
how much do i give bella a day?? she is 4.5 pounds? |
Hi:) It takes about a month to see any results with the ML, so be patient with it:D Start off with just a PINCH in her food and gradually increase. It can cause terrible bloating and gas if you give her a full dose right away. You have to work your way up to the recommended dosage. The bag says under 20 lbs gets a teaspoon, but I feel that our tiny doggies can get the same benefit with 1/3 to 1/2 tsp. Mine do:D! Their coats are shinier and more manageable, and their skin is no longer flaky:thumbup: Oh, and their poopies are nice and firm, no more clingons:laugh: |
:) thanks alot i will work my way up to prob 1/2 a teaspoon....i am soo excited!!! |
Fatty acid, called linoleic acid (omega-6), which is a requirement for dogs and cats. It is found in fresh foods, in the natural diet; if available in the diet, a dog can produce whatever other fatty acid is required from this one fatty acid. Without adequate quantities come many health problems, including significant skin eruptions, loss of hair, skin that won't heal from wounds, liver and kidney degeneration, increased suseptibility to infections, heart and circulatory problems, weakness, retarded growth, spontaneous abortions, sterility, impairment of vision, loss of ability to learn, symptoms similar to arthritis, and more. Deficiencies are common, and most animals suffer a mild deficiency that results in less severe symptoms. The usual symptoms of deficiency appear as a dull, dry coat, excessive loss of hair, greasy skin, accompaning itching and scratching and a greater likelihood to develop skin infections or conditions like abscesses or ringworm. Deficiencies are common, because the fatty acids are the most fragile of all the food ingredients and the ones that break down first during processing and storage. |
I think Missing Link does contain Omega-6.... It's listed on the manufacturer's nutritional info page. see: http://www.designinghealth.com/Nutri...pl-Animal.html |
thanks!! i do see it says omega 6....so i guess all i need is the missing link, and bella will have enough fatty acids...hehe..thanks again everyone!!:D |
I just started Hopey on it too, actually all my dogs... Hope will not eat her food with it on it, but she will like it straight off my hand... strange but it works, I just put a pinch in my hand and she cleans it up! |
