She has so much energy and plays all day long with the yorkie pup and cat.

I started my yorkie baby at 12 weeks on it too. He loves it and it hasn't caused anything wrong.

Since then, I started the cat of the feline version...........AND if they made a hamster version.........my lillie (the hamster) would be on it too!! LOL

Oh my - if it gives dogs extra energy I might have to quit giving it to mine...

Well she's a quarter of the suggested weight so I'd say 1/4 teaspooon! Maybe start with 1/8th to get her used to it first.

It's actually a powder you sprinkle on their food

Its an awesome supplement!

Detailed Description
In nature, animals consume foods that are whole, raw and fresh, while domestic animals generally have a diet of processed foods only. The Missing Link? was developed to target the nutritional gap between what nature provides and what is available in commercial foods. Formulated with all-natural, human-edible-quality whole foods and food concentrates, The Missing Link? reintroduces unprocessed, nutrient-rich foods into your animal's diet.

The Missing Link? is a dry granular powder, nitrogen flushed and vacuum-packed for freshness to protect its precious nutrients. For years, veterinarians and pet owners have added The Missing Link? Canine Formula to commercial foods to promote:

General Health & Well-Being
Better Digestion
Healthy Skin & Coat
Increased Energy
Quicker Recovery After Surgery or Injury
Less Shedding
Reduced Allergies
Less Scratching & Itching
Reduced Odor
Less Joint Stiffness and Pain


I use it with all four of my babies... I use the PLUS formula which is a Joint support formula... I try to keep it away from the younger one, but she always ends up getting into a tad of it! She steals food whenever she can!

Its one of those "so great that I had to carry it!" Products. So thank you girls... yes its on my site... I keep well stocked in both formulas and in both sizes! Its a big seller for me!

And for anyone who used it for a short time and was discouraged... you really do need to give it 90 days to see benefits! Remember the rate at which the body experiences cell turnover.. dogs need about 90 days on any supplement or diet to realize the full effects of it! So give whatever you are using a chance to work on your dog... a coat can't improve in a week... it won't even grow enough for you to see in a few weeks! The skin won't even shed enough to show you the healthy new skin beneath in short period of time! And I know lots of people who want over night results! But anything worth having is worth waitiing for.... So give your products TIME!

After reading some of the ingredients I am not so sure I want to try it. I know some of those things would be really hard on Diesel's stomach. I know most love it but I am not so sure I really want to try it.

thumbs up for sure, it's shows in her coat.

So should I give it to my 15 week old 2.6 lb baby yorkie or not? Or my 9 week old 12.3 lb lab?

Well, it doesn't say on the bag, but both of mine are puppies (5 and 8 months, thereabouts) and they've been on it since I got them practically with only good effects. It's a food supplement (flax, molasses, etc.) so I don't think there'd be any harm in giving to puppies. At least I hope not

It says under 20 lbs 1 tsp. a day, but I give my girls 1/2 a tsp each. Hard to tell, since they both eat out of one dish I tried giving them their own dishes, and seperating them when they eat. It didn't work. They both must be getting a good dose of it, their coats are getting more pretty and silky every day and they poop nice and solid
