| I give mine both. Fish oil and missing link...just not too much of both. Check with you vet next time. You might want to let them know what's in missing link..not many vets have heard of it.

| Dogs need both Omega 6 & 3 fatty acids. Linolenic acid (omega-3) include fish oils (especially cold-water fish such as salmon, mackerel, halibut, and herring). I think the missing link supplies the omega-3 only. Linolenic acid (omega-6) is found in safflower, sunflower, corn, evening primrose and borage oils. It is also found in poultry fat and prok fat (not much in beef or butter.) I give my dogs the fish and I buy the evening primrose gel caps to squeeze out in their food. |
