| What food do you feed her? My boy has been on missing link since he was 12 weeks old. He poops about 2-3 times a day. He is free fed dry kibble and gets exactly one teaspoon of ML with a teaspoon of cottage cheese per day. Reason I ask is because some foods that are full of fillers will cause them to poop more.

| Gracie is on missing link with her Nutro Natural Choice and she hasnt had any problems. Did she poop a lot before she was put on Missing Link? I agree with the post above the better quality of the food the less pooping. Or maybe the missing link just isnt for her if it upsets her stomach.

| Adding Missing Link to their food is alot like switching them to a new food....do it gradually. Tummy upset is to be expected. Hobbs' tummy was upset for a week when we started him on the Missing Link. Just keep doing what you're doing and his tummy will get used to it. |
