The Missing Link Hip & Joint Powder Supplement for Adult Dogs

A Dog Breeder told me about this Product on the Trolley. I have been very skeptical about Supplements since my first job in a Vitamin Factory in the 1970’s. However I took a chance after reading a lot of reviews and find the claims are all legitimate. This stuff works! I don’t use it for myself like the Dog Breeder bragged, but must say I see dramatic increases in her energy levels and overall appearance. She is still young ( 21 months old as I type ) but I don’t want to wait until my Girl is old and beat up and suffering with arthritis to begin helping her. Never too soon to begin avoiding all that grief. I swear by this now too. Try it. It works!

Dogs do very well and love this product.

I'm a first time puppy owner and my little one has a hip that cracks and she has limped before after intense exercise. The vet says it is nothing, but of course I worry. So I did a lot of research and decided to add a joint supplement to my puppy's diet. From my research, a glucosamine supplement was the way to go.First we tried some glucosamine tablets. They could be broken up into little pieces or eaten whole. Whatever I did, I could not get my puppy to eat them. The smell or the taste was bad to me, and it clearly didn't work for her.Next I did some research on powders. It came down to a few of them and, after comparing products and the prices, I thought this was the better purchase. So I bought this one and I have to say I am happy with the product.It is quite easy to dose! Get a 1/2 teaspoon or full teaspoon measuring spoon and follow the directions. My puppy is about 52 pounds, so I use two scoops. The product does not cake together in the bag but does stay together. It is easy to sprinkle over the food. The product does have a little bit of a smell, but it is not overpowering and does not linger. Most importantly, after my puppy eats the smell is not really on her breath--which is good because my puppy loves to give thank you kisses after feeding her!As for the breakdown of the product, I am not a chemist so I don't know if it contains what it says it contains. But I will note that I have not observed my puppy limping since we have been using the product now for about a month or two. Her coat appears to be a little lighter of a color and maybe even a little thicker. She has not been sick or had an upset tummy with this product. She has normal energy.Most importantly, she really enjoys this product on her food. Given the option, she would absolutely take food with this product sprinkled on it over her normal food. And since I have not taste-tested it, I will take it as a sign it tastes very good too.I will be reordering this product and I would recommend this for any dog who may be developing any leg or hip injury or condition. The product appears to be working and, at the very least, there are nutrients in it that help a developing puppy. Whether you have a puppy or elderly dog, give this a shot!JUST NOTE: It must be refrigerated once open and is only good for 90 days once open. So if you have only one dog, make sure you get the properly sized bag so it does not spoil before you can use it all.

This stuff really works. I have a 15 yr old bulldog/lab mix and was having a hard time getting around. Found this stuff on Amazon, read the reviews and I ordered it. So glad I did, he is up moving more than he has in a year. Definitely worth the money!! Do not hesitate to buy, it really works!!

This supplement changed my 5 year old pitbull's life. Ryder is unfortunately the product of inbreeding (commonly seen in pitbulls) and has horrible hip and other joint problems already in life. Even a walk around the block would leave him limping for the rest of the day and into the next. Because he couldn't exercise, and because of my hesitation to conjur up the painful side effects of walking, Ryder was about 7-9 pounds overweight (a lot for a dog). A couple days after sprinkling this onto his high quality dog food, I took note of how much more alert he seemed than usual. After a week, I noticed he would stand around the house instead of sitting. After about two weeks he was bouncing and frolicking about the house as though in a newly found puppy-hood. I cried with delight when he jumped into the car by himself for the first time since he was a puppy. Ryder has been eating Missing Link for about 3 months now, and I will never take him off of it. Ever. We are walking at least a mile every day without any painful limping or soreness the next day. He can now easily jump up onto the bed (only on special occasions) with ease! He climbs steps like a champ! Ryder has lost 5 pounds because Missing Link has enabled him to have an active lifestyle.This stuff is really inexpensive on Amazon. The 5-lb bag lasts me over two months when feeding to two pitbulls between 60-65 lbs. once everyday. Be sure to store it in the fridge after you open it!*Update 2017My boy is still going strong thanks to Missing Link. It's worked so well on my dog, my father even took notice of his improvement and started using this for his aging chocolate lab.We took the dogs on vacation with us to the beach last summer- something I don't think Ryder could have handled with his knee and hip issues three years ago. A tablespoon a day for us keeps the joint aches and arthritis away!The price on Amazon has increased by about 35%- sad to see, but, I will never take my dogs off this product after the changes I've seen. I have been able to find it cheaper at locally owened pet stores in my area, on occasion.

I have Old English Sheepdogs. This product worked well for an elderly dog I had who passed away a few years ago. He was having difficulty with his hind legs and this made him feel a bit better. He loved having it added to his food. Now, one of my other dogs is getting up there in age and it doesn't seem to help him as much. Maybe because his condition isn't as advanced, I can't see the improvement easily. He, too, thinks it's quite tasty. Maybe it's good as a prevention measure. I was disappointed to see how much the price increased over the years, but I guess everything is getting more expensive these days. I recommend trying the 1 lb package to see if it helps your pup. If it helps a lot, then get the larger package.
