Good basic supplement
Our rat terrier has luxating patellas and at 5 was starting to slow down and limp a lot. She woke up stiff and uncomfortable and had trouble jumping onto the couch and bed. We were told it was surgery or try and delay it with a supplement. We opted for the supplement and she is now 7 and much more comfortable than she was at half that age. She can jump on and off anything she pleases, runs the length of the yard at top speed and will dance on her back legs again. This has been great for her.
The only down side is that we find she won't touch it on her food unless we wet it because of the powdery consistency. Once it's wet, she will eat it no problem.

Saved my dog's life
Last year I thought my 9 year old Rotweiler/Boxer wasn't going to make it. He's been on Prednisone for Lupus since he was 3 years old and had been doing well. Now he was losing weight, could barely get up after laying down and would fall down when trying to lift his leg to urinate. He looked old and depressed. Friends had used Missing Link Plus Feline and highly recommended it.
I put Ozzy on Missing Link Plus Canine and KID YOU NOT, within 3 days there was a huge improvement in his movement and attitude! After about a week or two, he was trotting around, wagging his tail and helping me herd horses! He's happy, playful, shiney and beautiful. I even weaned him off his Prednisone! I believe it not only saved his life, but improved it dramatically.

not great for my dogs
I have always heard great things about Missing Link and I needed a glucosamine supplement so I figured what the heck. It really didn't improve my dogs' coats, in fact they seemed a little drier. I didn't realize this product didn't have a great combo of joint supplemetns compared to others on the market either. I have since went to a supplement with glucosamine, chondroitin, msm, synovi, perna, and assorted vitamins all in one and have seen a big improvement but, what works for one dog, may not work for another...

Finally something works
My lab has bad allergies. He needs injections every three days as a result and has always had dry itchy skin. I was so sick of trying a million things that never worked and finally my sister told me to try Missing Link. He has never been happier! After only one month his coat is shinny and beautiful and he is not dry or flakey! He is a much happier dog!

Top Pick
This is the best overall supplement! My Lab was always shedding a tremendous amount and had a dull looking coat. I was on the market for a skin, coat and joint supplement. I skeptically tried the Missing Link for a trial month. I was blown away by the result. Her coat now has a brilliant shine and isn’t ending up all over my floors! I am also thrilled that she receiving the joint support any aging dog needs.
