| I really don't know. Are their directions with it? I'd call the pet store, and ask them. Someone told me you need some kind of vitamin that starts with an "N" by I can't remeber what it is. If anyone knows let me know |

Missing link is a supplement you sprinkle on teh food. Yes it has to be refridgerated as well. The amount you give her should be on the bag.

| I give Hannah about 1/2 tsp mixed in cottage cheese, I started out giving her 1/8 tsp for a few days and then 1/4 tsp then 1/2 tsp and I am going to stay at 1/2 tsp. You are supposed to keep the missing link in the refigerator, I put mine in a small tupperware container. I also put a label on it with the exp date. |

| You want to start with a 1/4 a teaspoon and gradually increase untill you get at a teaspoon. Some dogs tummys are to sensitive to start with the full teaspoon. I mix mine in cottage cheese or yoqurt and give it to them as a treat. I free feed mine so I didnt want to put it on the kibble and it be on there untill whenever they ate it

| I've read on here that you want to start slowly with it (or it'll give bad gas pains) and gradually increase till you're giving a full tsp. per day. I put it on Hoku's food - others say they mix it in with yogurt. Hope that helps!

| Missing Link won't hurt your Maltese furchild, but if you don't want him to have any, then mix the ML in something tasty for a special nutritionally packed treat for Tinkerbell. |
