Hip & Joint + Probiotics Supplement 5lb Bag - Superfood Powder for Dog Cartilage & Bone Health, Joint Mobility & Flexibility

I had forgotten about Missing Link until I wanted to add supplements to my dogs' diet for his joints and coat. I was browsing in the pet store and saw the bag, and it checked all the boxes of the supplements that I need. I was afraid I was going to have to purchase a pharmacy of different things and put in a concoction of my own mixes. With this new formula, it has all the added things I was looking for.I am now on my second bag that I ordered from Amazon, and I am happy with the extra shine that his black coat has.

It took about 8 weeks but this has really helped our 8 yr old collie's hips and shoulders!

Excellent product which helped with my dog's bad back.

When I first started sprinkling this on the dogs' kibs, they turned their noses up at it, tried to eat around it, or just stared at me, as if to say, "What am I s'posed to do with that?" Course these same dogs think dirt and what they theive from the kitty litter bin is a delicacy, so...After a few servings of it (drizzled with extra virgin olive oil for their coats), they went crazy for it. Just had to convince them to see it in a new light, so to speak. I no longer have to bribe them with healthy oils, they officially LOVE this vitamin supplement now and bounce and go all cross-eyed, they get so focused on the crinkling of the bag now.I bought this for my 12 yr old German Shepherd/Malamute rescue (who lived a wild and crazy life and whose arthritic joints like to remind him of his earlier bad decisions) and my 7 yr old GSD/Husky with true hip dysplasia from a young age. :'-( The shorthair just gets jealous of anything the pointy-eared siblings get, so she gets a sprinkle too. So far, I can't say I've seen a major difference, but...*** In my experience, supplements like this are subtle and gradual, so you don't really notice unless its a major, distinctive signal or you remove the supplement and they then go downhill (or - hopefully not - improve). By a "signal" I mean, if your dog had been dragging his nails on the pavement on your way home from your daily walk and now he's pushing you to go further and further, and prancing up to the house after. Or suddenly she is jumping into the car on her own again, etcetera.By the latter, I mean that because you are so close to them, you don't notice the little changes, until you do. If one day you looked in the mirror and realized you had grey hair. Then imagine if you stopped drinking coffee and your hair returned to its natural color (sadly that would never work and was a terrible metaphor, but hopefully it made enough sense). You would realize the coffee had been giving you grey hair. With pets, you don't often notice those little changes, either improvement or deterioration, until they become BIG changes. But if you reverse the cause, you may well notice the reversed result. Does that make sense?The moral of that is that you probably will NOT see some magical, overnight return to puppyhood in your dog. In fact, you may not even notice a difference at all, but it could absolutely BE THERE. Watch those subtilties in your dog. Do they walk a little longer? Want to chase that ball a few more times? Jump in the truck without a boost again? Stand up a little quicker? Not groan so much when they lay down?THAT is my goal giving my dogs this supplement. And while this is only my 2nd bag, I believe these guys are feeling a bit younger and happier. The eldest is obnoxious about squeaking his toys again (bless his youthfully annoying heart) and the youngest is jumping in the car by herself. Is it the supplement? I don't know, but I'm sure not going to stop giving it to them now.This product is $$$, but all the ones that are safe and truly have the potential to do what they claim are $$$. I won't even try anything questionable on these guys. Read the ingredients on the back. The protein and flaxseed and breakdown of goodness in this. Its much better than many comparable products. That is why I bought another bag. I want my dogs to have quality of life straight thru their entire lives. If that means coercing them a bit to eat healthier food and spending more to get it, so be it. They are worth it.

Excellent product a good price

This stuff is amazing! My dog was starting to limp pretty regularly, especially after lying down for a few hours. Took him to the vet and they wanted him on carprofen (doggie Motrin) daily which can damage his kidneys. I started him on this powdered hip and joint supplement and he hasn’t limped since. I split his daily dose over 2 meals since he eats twice daily. Sprinkle it on top of his food and he loves it! My dog weighs 35 lbs and a bag of this stuff lasts forever! Just repurchased for the first time.

Was hesitant about this. Though I must say it's absolutely fantastic. My doggie Sadie is moving so well and so playful like she was before. Thank you. Our family will be using this product for all of our dogs. It lasts about a month and our dogs love the taste of it.

I have two small yappers whose little legs were getting "locked up" and they'd hop around until they rested for a bit. I give them this every morning with their food and it has made an incredible difference in their mobility. I have it on auto ship so we always have it!!
