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. Review: Main ingredient is flaxseed - Using this for over 2 years now. It definitely works. I would recommend, but stress that the main base of this is flaxseed which can cause digestion issues if you give a lot to a dog and human. If you have other foods that you give your dog that have flaxseed in it be aware on the amount in their diet. It is also very common for dogs to be intolerable to flaxseed so do your part and make sure your dog is able to eat flaxseed. I got this originally because it has the least side effects compared to other supplements. And it seems that the main negative reviews are from allergies and stomach/consistency. It definitely works for those that don’t have an issue with flaxseed or any other ingredient(s), but you need to give it time like any other supplement (3months) and keep it away from humidity and heat (treat it like it’s just flaxseed). I don’t put it in the fridge since the place I keep it stays in a ideal storage temp, but if your house gets hot or overly humid I would suggest to put it in the fridge so the flaxseed part doesn’t spoil. The bag does not mention about refrigeration and I’m only suggesting this because other reviewers have mentioned refrigeration. Example explanation: 3 days the limp should be less noticeable and 2 weeks you should see better improvement like shorter period of limping after walks. 3 months and they wont be limping/stiff after walks or hard exercises. If it doesn’t help after 3 months then try a different supplement. For those wanting to save with the bigger bag, I bought the 5 lb bag at one point and would only recommend it to those who have multiple dogs because after 3months it stops being effective and I had to buy a new bag to get my dog back to not limping again. I really have a hard time concentrating on researching, but based on the experience with this… yes it helps with joint and mobility. Is it the best? Probably not. Is it a permanent solution to the problem? No, it’s like a bandaid somewhat like tylenol. Once you stop using it the issues come back. However, that is the same with all the rest of the supplements I’ve researched. Will I be keeping the dog on this? I will keep looking, but currently this works fine for my dog. I would definitely recommend this to people who have dogs with non extreme hip/joint issues. It also has omega3 that helps improve your dog’s coat. Hope this helps for those who are debating and weary. ## Features - HEALTHY HIPS & JOINTS: Essential Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids, dietary fiber, Glucosamine, Chondroitin, MSM & Hyaluronic Acid to cushion joints, support muscles & joint lubrication, and support skin, coat & heart health, probiotics to help boost absorption - POWER: Powders are the most potent way to deliver efficacious & fresh ingredients - PURITY: We use patented cold process manufacturing technology for maximum nutritional value - PERFORMANCE: LactoSpore probiotics are included in the formulation to boost absorption so your pet's body can utilize the ingredients more easily - VETERINARIAN FORMULATED: Made in the USA from high-quality ingredients to help pets live their best lives ever when fed daily ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000SSN04M | | ASIN | B000SSN04M | | Active Ingredients | Active ingredients per 3 tsp.

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. **Q: Is there a diffierence between "Missing Link Ultimate Hip, Joint & Coat" and Missing Link Ultimate Hip & Joint?** A: 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! **Q: What is the expiration on the Mising Link?** A: 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. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to Dose and Puppy LOVES the Taste; Does Not Make the Room Smell or Puppy Breath Smell; Appears to be Helping with Hip! *by V***R on November 12, 2016* I'm a first time puppy owner and my little one has a hip that cracks and she has limped before after intense exercise.

On that basis alone it looks like a worthwhile product. As the dog of course cannot confirm this for herself we have to infer this is a benefit since nothing else has changed. A bit surprised to learn it needs to be refrigerated but no real hardship - will be re-ordering. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Missing Link Hip & Joint + Probiotics Supplement 1lb Bag - Superfood Powder for Dog Cartilage & Bone Health, Joint Mobility & Flexibility - The Missing Link Original All Natural Superfood Dog Supplement- Balanced Omega 3 & 6 to support Healthy Skin & Coat – Skin & Coat Formula – 1 lb. - The Missing Link Senior Dog Supplement 1lb Bag - Powerful Powder Supports Bones, Joints, Skin, Coat, Heart, Eyes, Memory & Cognition --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/2598892-the-missing-link-hip-and-joint-probiotics-supplement-1lb-bag](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/2598892-the-missing-link-hip-and-joint-probiotics-supplement-1lb-bag) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
