My2Furbabies · 10-10-2006, 03:01 PM

And I was wondering how many people use it and if you like it!? And how long do you use it before you see results? Thanks for any info!

I love it!! Cali's coat and skin are so much better. A lot silkier. Just start out slow and gradually work up to the recommended dosage as it can upset their tummies sometimes. I give Cali about 3/4 teaspoon divided into her 3 meals. Also make sure you refrigerate it and date it as it is good for 90 days. It took about 5-6 weeks to see results on Cali.

So after 90 days u toss it??? Ive been using it too but its a lot for one little pup..

GracieLou · 10-10-2006, 04:08 PM

i have been thinking about buying some also but i want to read more about it and stuff first!

Mitzis Mom · 10-10-2006, 04:14 PM

I just got some for Mitzi last weekend. She had real problems with her right knee (she's 9 y.o.) and I have the impression she's not limping as much anymore. Her itchy skin seams to get better too.

As for the 90 days, I put it in smaller comtainers and deep froze it. This way I hope it's lasting longer.

Romeo's Mommy · 10-10-2006, 05:03 PM

I am thinking of ordering some too. My Romeo is a little over 7 lbs and I was wondering,,,he only eats once a day (quite a bit at once) because he doesnt eat when we arent home for some reason. How much should I put on his food to start with?

RLC12345678 · 10-11-2006, 12:26 PM

I use it and LOVE it! Start out using 1/4 tsp as it will make their stool a little runny at first. After her stool gets hard again, go up to 1/2 tsp daily. It's kinda like changing their food, you have to do it gradually.

And yes, you have to keep it in the refrigerator and throw it out after 90 days.

stedmansmommy · 10-11-2006, 12:31 PM

Oh wow, I am using 1 tsp in Steddy's food, but he does fine with that amount

I started him off with a lesser amount of course...but he didn't even have runny stool

It takes him a LONG time to finish one bowl of food though. I don't know, but he has been on it for 2 weeks (or maybe not even quite 2 weeks, I'd have to check my calender, I wrote down when I started him on it) and I LOVE it!!! His coat is WAY shinier than it was 3 weeks ago. It works GREAT and I will NEVER be without it!

I'm sure 1 tsp is perfectly fine. I actually use 1 tsp daily, too, but both of mine eat out of the same bowl so I just figured that was 1/2 tsp each. But, it says on the bag that there's no risk of over supplementation, so if the 1 tsp is working great and not upsetting his tummy, I would stick with the 1 tsp.

lexi gets it everyday in her food, what a difference

WHEW!

Thank you!! lol...that makes me feel better!!

I was kind of worried the first time I put 1 tsp in his bowl...but after hubby re-read the bag for me, he said that it should be fine. Plus he never had runny stool when I first started him on it, so I was hoping that it would be ok

He really does seem to be doing perfectly fine with it, but again...it takes him FOREVER and a DAY to eat an entire bowl of food anyway, lol. Also I'm sure I will end up having to throw the rest of the bag out because I highly DOUBT that I'll get through the entire bag before it expires...I just can't see that happening with him taking forever to finish his food!

So I guess it's better that I use as much as I can to get my money's worth lol

As long as it is safe for Steddy of course

Oh, he doesn't even eat 1 tsp per day? It is over several days? Then you are perfectly fine!!!!! Mine eat 1 tsp per day! And my last bag of ML, they didn't finish it before the 90 days was up so I had to throw some away. But next time I'm gonna get the 8oz bag and hopefully they'll finish that. The past 2 times I've gotten the 1 lbs bag, and I had to throw some away last time and I know I will this time, too. Oh well!

I ordered the missing link today, 1 lb. both mine eat from each others bowls too so I think I will try about 1/4 tspn in each bowl maybe once a day. wonder if that is enough or what, kizzy is over 9 lbs and maggie a lil over 3 lbs. But she never eats as much as kizzy usually.

Thinking about getting this for my 2.
