Question 2

are these chewables? soft? easy fro dogs to take, tasty?

Accepted Answer

This is not a chewable.  It's a powder that you mix with a tsp or so of wet food.  But I just ordered my third bag and it has really helped my 3yr. old, 10 lb. Maltese mix.   No more limp.

Question 3

Is there a diffierence between "Missing Link Ultimate Hip, Joint & Coat" and Missing Link Ultimate Hip & Joint?

Accepted Answer

All of the ingredients in both packs are the same and listed in the same order, indicating that they are, of course, in approximately the same concentration. The analysis of both is exactly the same, with the exception of crude protein: 20% crude protein in the Hip, Joint & Coat, but 18% in the Hip & Joint. Frankly, I have used both successfully. No digestive problems (and my dogs are quite sensitive), good coats, excellent on hip and joints. I was giving too small a dose to one of my older poodles. When I discovered this and doubled her dose, she was jumping and running again like a puppy within a day!

Question 4

What is the expiration on the Mising Link?

Accepted Answer

Missing Link does not come with an expiration date.  It only states to use within 90 days of opening the bag...that is how it is guaranteed.  It also states to refrigerate after opening.  I always keep it in the refrigerator and have used it past the 90 days as well.  It still works.
