At The Fittest Dog, we are constantly on the lookout for the latest and greatest gear and products to use on outings with our four-legged runners. This month we review a product that one of our client’s highly recommends — Missing Link Original Hip and Joint Supplement. This powdered supplement is easily mixed in with your dog’s food once a day. It is packed full of superfood nutrients such as glucosamine and omega 3 and 6 fatty acids. These nutrients help promote healthy joints, flexibility, skin, coat and sustained energy levels in your dog.
Kali is a German Shepherd in our runner pack, and her mom Laurie raves about this supplement. She tells us “I decided to use Missing Link Joint supplements because my mom works with the Cincinnati Lab Rescue and has put all of her Labradors on this supplement for healthier, longer lives. All of her Labbies have lived from 12-15.5 years! So, without hesitation, I put my German Shepherd, Kali, on it as well. Within one week I could feel a difference in her coat. Knowing how active she and I are, and now running frequently with The Fittest Dog…I feel better knowing she has the extra joint support to make her feel good while she gets her crazy energy out. She’s 8 years old but everybody thinks she’s one and a half! No limitations here with my girl!”
If you try out Missing Link, let us know what you think!
The Fittest Dog independently tests all of the products we review with our pack and our coaches! Contact us if you’d like for us to take your dog-friendly gear for a sprint with our pups.

Hi Stacey! We have had a few of our running dogs use this, primarily German Shepherds. Their owners have been very happy with Missing Link, and I hope you will be too. Let us know your thoughts after! Thanks for reading 🙂
Hello,
I have to aussies one weighing 39-42lbs and the other 25-27lbs they both seem to have trouble picking up their behinds when laying for a couple minutes! But my question is do I need extra joint &hip vitamins, and can I give salmon oil with this product?
Our favorite San Diego Vet, Dr. Sarah Vineyard, says dogs that show these symptoms often suffer from arthritis or back pain. Your Vet can make a decision on the best course of action for your beloved Aussies, but joint supplements would likely be of benefit. We wish you and your pups well!
