| Missing Link Plus I bought some this weekend and am wondering how much to give. I free feed my babies so they all eat the same food from the same bowl. They are 4, 7, 10, and 14 lbs. I saw the weight guidelines on the bag, but wasn't sure how to make sure each dog gets the right amount. Any suggestions? |

| My little girl is just over 5lbs and I give her about a quarter of a teaspoon every night. I usually mix it with a bit of plain yogurt (about a teaspoon) and her kibble so she eats it, otherwise it just filters through to the bottom. D-

| I would give it to each dog separately mixed in something yummy.

| Missing Link Hi Guys I was just reading on a different group that some breeders that were using missing link were having issues with their females being sterile and not having litters and they traced it back to missing link. So please google search this and see what it says I did not save the link since I don't use it. |

| The amount with Missing Link+ is less than regular Missing Link. For a 20 lb dog, 1 tsp is the recommendation, so for a 4-5 lber it would be 1/4 lb. You also need to start small and work up to that amount because of the large amount of fiber it contains.
