How to supplement calcium for dogs

1. Feed more calcium-rich snacks and prepare some calcium-rich snacks for your dog. Usually, you can give some to your dog to eat, and you can supplement calcium without changing the food. It is very simple. There are actually many common calcium-supplementing snacks. Generally, dairy products, meat products, and bone products contain more calcium. For finished snacks, cheese sticks, beef cubes, animal bone snacks, etc. are more suitable.

2. Change to calcium-supplemented dog food. Dog food actually has a great impact on dogs, especially some adult dogs. Most of the adult dog food on the market strictly controls the calcium content. Therefore, dog food with a relatively high calcium content is usually puppy food. It is not a good idea to completely switch to puppy food. Puppy food is not only high in calcium, but also high in many other nutrients, making it unsuitable for adult dogs. So the best way is to mix some puppy food into it and give it to your dog.

3. Calcium powder and other calcium powders are added to food. Calcium powder is usually a powder obtained by crushing bones or eggshells. Of course, dried freshwater river shrimps (dried shrimps) are also used. This should still have a certain effect (shrimp skin, seaweed, black beans, etc. are effective).
