For Show Stopper (which I use daily on my showline female), I believe all sizes come with a scooper in it. I use their scooper (it's probably about 3 Tbsp big), one level scoop per day. I do not know if giving more per day would be extra beneficial, or just a waste, so I just follow thier recommendations. Using it for one dog, I buy the 7 pound bag (it looks like a jar on the website, but it will come to you in a bag), and it ships free. Keep in mind, if you get a smaller size to try it out, you might not see results by the time you run out, so maybe that's another reason to go for a bigger size like the 7 pounder. Hope this helps!

I also use ACV for my dog's but I put it in their food not their water. I will add some warm water to their food b/c if I don't I know 2 of them won't touch it, but if you can find it in a tablet form that might be better for you. The showstopper that I've received from K9power comes in a jar, and they do come I think in 4 pounds as well so you can test it out to see how your female does on it. I love that stuff. I also have my 11 year old on Perna for her joints and arthritis. I've tried many other things for her from springtime, to naturmix, to K9 power, to straight MSM, and Glucosamine and nothing has worked for her until I put her on Perna. It is awesome for bad joints and arthritis, at least for her it is. She doesn't whine in pain anymore or lose her balance.
Hope things get better for your dog's.

missing link is supposed to work great on dogs with skin allergies.

I've used nupro and structure. but i prefer to just give a balanced diet without supplementing. I mainly supplement young puppies and pregnant/nursing females

I use Vertex on all my dogs. Including Pomeranians (I also show and breed poms). Plus I also use chooped Garlic & Ginger, 1000mg Fish oil and 1 raw egg per meal. I see difference on my dogs on vertex or with out it. It shows big difference during summer time. If you are concerned about dog's coat I recommend 1 raw egg per meal. I have a female with really bad coat, she was always losing hair. I had her on raw egg for 2 months, can't believe how much difference i see. try it. it works really good.

Thanks for all the great suggestions ya'll! I ordered 7 lbs of Show Stopper last night. I really think it will be awesome for my girl. I'm still not convinced on the Dinovite...I want to hear from more people who've tried it....not only for the sake of money, but I don't want my dog taking something that might make him go backwards, we've worked so hard and spent so much money to get him this far. I hate allergies...between his allergies and my own allergies, we are spending a fortune and neither of us can go outside in peace.
Thanks,
Nichole

Tell me about it. Since I moved back here from Germany I have developed allergies, that seem to get worse every year. Never had them until I moved away and then came back. Weird but it really sucks. Let us know if this stuff works and gives your dog any relief. My dogs get seasonal itchies too.

Has anyone tried any of the allergy stuff from Fosters and Smith such as AllerTabs which have quercetin, vit C, Grape seed extract, Biotin and Lactobacillus bacteria?

Smart pack has Smartfles Repair equine joint supplement that's really great and inexpensive. 2 lbs is about 60$ and at 1/2 tsp per day it will last for a very long time. I remember getting the something simmilar ,it was 90 dog pills and it costed 57$.

Glucosamine HCL
MSM
Condroiton
HA
are some of the main ingredients.

I started using it a few weeks ago and my old Aussi is now running and playing with the GSDs again.

I also give Omega 3/6/9 oil caps.

I use CPN Structure and the SmartPack Repair, love them both. The Structure is simply amazing and all of my under one year olds get it, as well as anybody who is ill, injured or in heat.
For the SmartPack Repair I bought some micro measuring spoons and use those for BID dosing, too much can give the dogs the runs!
I also really like a vitamin supplement called Dyne- I got it to mix Albon with but it is such a great product that most everybody here gets a small dose once a day.
