What to look for in dogs calcium supplement？

Calcium is a very important substance for both humans and dogs, and a deficiency can be harmful to health. There are different ways to supplement calcium for dogs at different ages.

For dogs that need calcium urgently, owners can grind calcium tablets into powder form and mix them with the food the dog eats. However, if there is no particular sign of calcium deficiency in general, the owner can feed him a little more calcium-rich food, such as soya products and fish. Then take the dog out for a little more sunshine to promote calcium absorption. Usually, when we feed our dogs a balanced dog food, it is possible to meet the daily nutrient requirements of the dog, so that the pet owner can save a lot of worry.

Generally speaking, in no particular case will a dog be too deficient in calcium, as most of the calcium required by the body can be replenished from the dog food. However, older dogs, breeding males and pregnant or lactating females will need a calcium supplement.
