Our girl had knee surgery at the age of 8 after many years of running with her owners (which she loved). Unfortunately aging and wear and tear got to her and her ligament failed. After her surgery (January 12th, 2021) we were looking for a supplement (Dr. recommended) to help in her healing. We found this product, I read the reviews and decided to take a chance. The product was delivered on Oct 9th 2021, and now, (January 17th, 2022) I am writing this review to say, “wow… what a difference we have noticed”. She’s like a 2 year old again. Playful, active, (no long runs) chases squirrels, runs through the woods, jumps up on rocks (hasn’t done that in months) has power in her back legs and overall is without stiffness and pain. I highly recommend this product and will definitely buy another bag when this one is finished.

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 2017
My 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.

Our old dog seems to have a lot more life and mobility since taking this. 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.

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!!

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 is the first time that I have bought this product through Amazon. Previously I had gotten it at a local pet food store that discontinued it. I was happy to find that I could buy a five pound bag for $150.00 vs the $40/1 lb bag. This stuff is a miracle for my dog, it has given him energy and excellent mobility. He is eight and previously had a TPLO in his right knee. After using this he is no longer limping and the left leg looks solid so no more operations in his future. It has also helped to clear up the dry crusty nose that was a symptom of his lupus. He acts and looks like a much younger dog and this is because of this supplement.

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!
