Missing Link supplement? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

avidscrapbooker · 06-18-2006, 05:17 PM

My 5yr old Yorkie has a very dull coat. I've read that alot of owners are using the Missing Link to sprinkle over the food to help w/coats. Exactly what is this called because I went to the website and it appears there is alot of different supplements. Also should this help with the dry skin? I just adopted him about 2mths ago, and up until then he was on grocery store dog food I think, it had corn. So he's now on Nutro Natural Choice, Lamb and Rice. I purchased it from PetSmart. Any tips will help. He eats just fine, hoping it will ljust take time to get into his system and coat will be calmer and shiny! Thanks.

PetSmart sells the Missing Link, in the vitamin section. It is called "Missing Link" and comes in a gold bag. If you ask for it, they can certianly show you where it is. I use it for my two and LOVE the results. Just follow directions and start out slow, and increase to the daily dosage over about 2 weeks or you may have some runny poo.

And I love what it does for their coats! Here's a thread that talks all about it!

Pet Valu also carries it.

we use wellness super 5 supplement. it worked great on a dry/itchy problem romeo was having. a y/t member compared missing link to super 5 and the super 5 has better ingredients. and it's less expensive.

Thanks for the information. My little Scrappy will be so much happier with shiny coat and calmed skin.

Missing Link is TERRIFIC! You can also give scrappy some fish oil, it is another GREAT coat conditioner.

avidscrapbooker · 06-19-2006, 03:45 AM

Won't the fish oil give really bad breath? Cause we're brushing away daily to fight that current issue already.

It doesn't mine, but then of course my furkids eat horse poop, too!

Cali's coat and skin has shown improvement on the Missing Link> I am very Happy with it

Has anyone tried Nupro? A lady that showed Yorkies told me to try it. It sounds similar to missing link. I purchased some, but have not tried it yet.

I have a 6 month male yorkie and he has pretty much no hair between his chin and chest. Is this normal? He is very healthy and shows no signs of illness.
He is on frontline plus and heartgard.
Any comments sure would be appreciated

I just bought Nupro too, b/c the pet store I shop at recommends it over Missing Link and it is at a better price. We'll just have to see how it works as time passes.

So, if we are feeding these super premium foods, is stuff like Missing Link necessary? Aren't any of the same ingredients in the good foods?
