has anyone use missing link supplement for their dogs....if so i can have some advice on them...

I used it for a while. It was a waste of money in my case. We were dumping that stuff down our Dogo for the longest time and saw no improvement in his coat. All it took was switching to a better food to make his problems go away.

but you also have said you don't feed a high quality food...so in your case it would probably be beneficial...right?

I agree with bahamutt find yourself a really good quality food, and you should be fine.

If you aren't feeding a high quality food or can't get one where you live then I could see them being a good addition.

i feed canidae als formula....its a 5 star rated feed right? i know theres talk on them changing their formula but it took a while to find a food he realy likes and is top rated..i was just looking for something to compensate for what the kibble may be lacking.......

My Neapolitan was my first "blue blood" multi champion pedigree dog. Being naive and with the best intentions I fed Solid Gold Mmilenium beef and barley.
I saw my Neo shed alot on this Holistic food and had some issue with dry skin.
We put her on coconut oil and missing link and her fur and countenance improved. So needless to say we took her off of the Solid Gold and started feeding her pedigree. Her coat looked great and we Championed her quick fast!...lol

Trutildeath, Canidae is still rated as a 5-star food, yes. I personally had to take my dogs off it because 2 bags into the new formula, they still weren't doing well with the change. If your dog is doing good on it, I'd leave it be. I talked to my mom yesterday and she said that our old Dogo Jedi seems to be doing just fine on it.

ETA: A good kibble will have pretty close to everything that a dog needs. If you don't see a lack in your dog, don't worry about it. If you do see a lack, evaluate the suitability of the diet first before you add things. We were feeding Diamond and then Eukanuba to our Dogo when we were adding Missing Link, and it was like polishing a turd. Switching to a high-grade kibble like Canidae made all the difference in the world. (At least Canidae prior to the ingredient change.)

I had very good results using Van Patten’s Natural Balance Sweet Potato & Fish, Missing Link and raw yogurt twice a day. At $50 for a 5lbs bag for Missing Link I’ve substituted ground flax seed for Missing Link. Flax Seed is the primary ingredient is Missing Link and it cost a lot less with the same results.

yeah..i read the ingredients on it and decided it didnt really seem worth it...by the way ive never seen that version of the "crucified" skin.........?

Coconut oil and a multi vitamin is good if you don't want to pay for Missing link. Presently I have been adding olive oil ACV and fishoil....i ran out of ML and have been too lazy to get more. Another thing to add to my list of things to do!...lol
