Why would that be?Īlthough there are some feline products with Glucosamine on the market, in the United States it is a challenge for us to create feline products containing Glucosamine HCI as this ingredient has not been defined by the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) and each state has their own guidelines and requirements as well. I am not seeing a line for feline hip and joint health. We have updated and refreshed the packaging and made very minor changes to the formulas (example: removing garlic), but overall it is the same cold-ground flax seed-based product with the same beneficial “pawsitive” changes you can expect to see.

I noticed the new packaging no longer includes the word 'ultimate' in the name.

We do not recommend using Joint supplements containing Glucosamine HCl as they’re intended for adult dogs at least one year of age or older.

If you buy the Canine Hip & Joint it will have the same great benefits of the Skin & Coat product, plus the joint health benefits of Glucosamine HCl. The big difference is the inclusion of Glucosamine HCl in the Hip & Joint formula to help support and maintain joint mobility and flexibility. What is the difference between the Skin & Coat formula and the Hip & Joint formula? While we recommend feeding the feline versions of our products to cats as they’re specifically formulated for a cats diet, there is nothing in the ingredients that will harm or cause issues for cats. My cat often eats my dogs food top dressed with the Missing Link powder for dogs, will this hurt my cat? This will help acclimate the changes in your dogs diet. When changing formulations you should start with a lower than recommended dose and work your way up to the recommended dose over the course of a week or two.

Many breeds are considered adult dogs at 1-1.5 years old and we recommend the transition from puppy to the adult canine formulations around this age. When should I transition from the Puppy formula to the Skin & Coat or Hip & Joint formulas for adult dogs? The formula remains the same but we’ve changed the serving size to slightly increase the amount given which mirrors the serving size for our Skin & Coat products Why has the serving size changed on the Canine Hip & Joint products?
