| I bought some a while ago ...it has omega 3& 6 in it for their coat, allergies,fiber for their digestive system,& probably more that I can't think of right now... I'm having a problem getting it in him...I've tried yogurt, cottage cheese, & wet dog food...I only use a tablespoon of the food & mix it in...he either totally rejects the food or only takes a couple licks ...I would like to hear from other people also...

| I've tried to start w/ a little less than a half teaspoon...but there is no sneaking it past him...I heard it has a liver taste that maybe he keeps smelling or tasting...I didn't want to try it to see if it was true.lol

Ha, I see that. I just went back and reread. One site has a 5 pound bag for $38.50 and I read that 1 pound should last a 40 to 80 pound dog 2 months and their dosage is 3 tsp. Therefore 1 pound should last a yorkie 6 months. http://www.pfwh.com/MLC_1-p-missing-...pplements.html | |

| I have the same problem getting vitamin/supplements into my "brat." I've tried Solid Gold Sea Meal and it's 1/8 tsp mixed in warm water and put into the food. The first sniff Sparky gets of it, he will turn his nose up and walk away. He refuses the food if I put it in there. I've tried yogurt, cottage cheese, regular cheese, fruit, etc. He refuses it all. Do they make a vitamin that has a nice taste that maybe they can chew up? Otherwise I will not be able to get anything like that into him barring squirting it down his throat. |

| Yes, I only use 1tbsp. of food, hoping it would be such a small amount that he would just eat it all, but no luck...I was in Petsmart & they had a bag that looked similar to Missing Link for $2... I don't know if they where identical or not.....

| This post and my reply made me remember that I had picked up some Activia to try and get Gordon to eat with ML. I just gave him a tablespoon of Activia and a teaspoon (he has been on it awhile) of ML. He just gobbled it down.
