Dogs
Everyone knows that calcium supplementation for dogs cannot be blindly supplemented. An appropriate amount of calcium supplementation is beneficial to the dog's body. It is also a burden and can easily cause stone problems. So which dogs are prone to calcium deficiency and need calcium supplements?
1. Puppies after weaning:Puppies will grow quickly after weaning. At this time, dogs eating independent food need appropriate calcium supplements. The calcium contained in imported dog food is basically sufficient to meet the growth needs of mini and small dogs, but medium to large puppies still need appropriate calcium supplements.
2. Dogs before and after delivery: Calcium supplementation is required for the female dog from the moment the breeding is successful. It should be stopped 15 days before giving birth. After the birth, calcium supplementation should be continued until the puppies are weaned. If the female dog is found to be weak in the future, she can be given calcium supplement every 2 to 3 days depending on the situation.
3. Dogs in their twilight years:Old dogs have reduced calcium intake and reduced calcium loss due to internal osmosis and other reasons. At this time, they should be artificially supplemented with calcium while maintaining a certain amount of movement. Otherwise, osteoporosis will occur and the incidence of bone spurs and fractures will increase.
4. Dogs with a partial eclipse: Dogs that have been eating animal liver or meat as their main food for a long time should also take appropriate calcium supplements. Since the above foods contain high concentrations of vitamin A, dogs with long-term intake of high High concentrations of vitamin A can inhibit calcium absorption.
