| Missing Link question!! Hi everyone, I just bought some missing link for my three furbabies. I mostly wanted this stuff for Trixie cause she has flakes and my peke Snoot itches a good bit. Pia seems a little dry lately but I think its due to the weather. Anyways, I plan to give all of them it but I'm little concerned on the amount to give. It says one tsp. for 0-20 lbs and I think the 1 tsb would be fine for my peke but it seems too much for the girls. Trixie weighs 5 lbs. and Pia weighs 2 lbs. Does anyone happen to have advice on how I should give them? I don't wanna cause them harm so your oppinions are really appreciated. Thank you so much P.S. I tried putting this in the product section but not many responses so now I'm trying here, LOL Thanks again everyone!!

| I asked my vet about it and he said it was fine. I give Jewelina 1/2 tsp in the morning and a 1/2 tsp at night and she's 1 pound 11 ounces. Sometimes I'll rotate and use salmon oil in th evenings and just give her a half dosage of that instead of the missing link. I would start by mixing it in gradually at first. I started witha 1/4 tsp for Jewelina and then gradually added a little more day by day. She and Jaden (4 pounds) take the same amount. |

| I have always given Sawyer about 1/4 of a teaspoon, he weighs 3 pounds. I think if you give too much it might cause the trots, but not really hurt them. I think a lot of people try giving a very small sprinkling at first to see if the puppy tolerates it fine, most do. it really is a good supplement to sprinkle over their food.
