Cats don’t need calcium supplements
We humans supplement calcium and we give calcium to dogs. Some people may wonder: Should cats also supplement calcium? Therefore, there is more calcium powder in the cat’s diet. In fact, this idea is somewhat redundant. There is no need for cats to supplement calcium.
Cats’ need and absorption of calcium are very limited, unlike us humans and dogs. As long as cats are fed normally, cats generally will not be deficient in calcium. A balanced and nutritious diet, or cat food, is enough for your cat’s physical needs. However, excessive calcium intake will burden the cat’s absorption and cause nutritional damage to the body’s health. For example, bone development problems, bladder stones, urethral stones, and other urinary system problems may occur.
