Hi Suze, Actually, I'd be surprised as well because, if I remember correctly, I was feeding something that looked to be about a 1/4 cup measure of the powder to my horse. Also, the Missing Link for Horses is sold in 5 lb bags through KV-Vet for $29.95 bags ,whereas the formulation for dogs is sold in half lb, 1 lb and 5 lb bags, with the 5lb bag going for $43.95 (which makes it roughly 28% more than the same amount of the equine formula) --- I'm thinking there has to be a cost differential in producing it. Addtionally, I notice that the canine formula costs more than the one for felines, and I KNOW that these are not the same.
All the best, Susan >Hi, Susan, > I would be very surprised if the ingredients assayed in the same >amounts for dogs as for horses.
