Large dogs need more calcium supplements.
Medium and large dogs are prone to bone and joint diseases because of genetic problems. Many parents think that calcium supplementation can be avoided, but this is unavoidable. When dogs are recovering from joint diseases, parents also feel the need for calcium supplements, which do not repair joints or ligaments.
Large dogs have a long development period, and excessive calcium intake causes problems. Such as: excessive calcium in bone, brittle bone, prone to fracture; or premature calcification of bone, height is limited. Moreover, medium and large dogs also need to pay attention to the ratio of calcium to phosphorus.
Calcium Supplement Helps Ear Erection
When a dog is a puppy, it will stand for a while and not stand for a while. Generally, it is not until adulthood that we can fully determine whether it is a standing ear. Dogs do not stand ear heredity is the main factor, the ear belongs to cartilage, more calcium supplements can not directly help the ear oh. Lop-eared dogs can also choose protective equipment for standing ears if they need ventilation, such as ear infections.
Calcium supplements are fed together
Different ingredients of calcium include calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate, calcium gluconate, etc. Calcium supplement products are divided into calcium powder, calcium paste and liquid calcium according to dosage forms. Some parents think that calcium supplement is more comprehensive, such as calcium powder + calcium tablets or liquid calcium + calcium tablets, which is not recommended. The absorption and utilization rate of different dosage forms of calcium supplement products is different, and the ingredients are also different. Compound calcium tablets can be directly selected if necessary, and it is possible to contain more than two kinds of calcium components, such as three-in-one calcium tablets.
During the dog's growth and development, the same type of calcium can be fed. For example, medium and large dogs can choose calcium carbonate products, which belong to inorganic calcium, contain a large amount of calcium, and can meet the demand by feeding appropriate amount. Small dogs can choose organic calcium such as calcium lactate and calcium gluconate, which is easier to absorb.
Calcium tablets for feeding people
Although the calcium content of dog calcium supplement products is the same as that of human calcium tablets, the gastrointestinal structure of dogs is different from that of human beings, and the speed of absorption and utilization is different. Some of the calcium in human calcium tablets comes from cow milk, but we know that many dogs have lactose intolerance to milk, so feeding special calcium tablets for pets is the most reliable.
Dr. E reminded that parents should pay attention to these misunderstandings of calcium supplementation, and correct calcium supplementation can make dogs healthy and energetic.
