As a pet owner who keeps a dog, everyone cares about the health of the dog. Calcium supplementation is a major health care method for dogs, but dogs cannot blindly supplement calcium. Once they are over-replenished, their bones will calcify and become more fragile. Today I will share with you what situations do dogs need to supplement calcium? How old is the best way to supplement calcium from?

In what situations do dogs need calcium supplementation?

1. The developmental period of puppies

Dogs have a growth period of two months to eight months, because their bodies are in a period of rapid development, and they have a relatively large demand for calcium. If the dog does not eat puppy food or the dog food contains insufficient calcium, it will restrict the dog's physical development. At this time, the dog needs calcium supplementation!

2. Female dog fertility period

The female dog is in a calcium deficiency state during the entire full reproductive period. Raising a fetus, producing and secreting milk will take away a lot of calcium in the body. Especially when the delivery period is approaching, calcium deficiency will make the female dog's muscles weak and convulsive, causing difficult delivery! At this time, calcium supplements need to be strengthened!

3. Elderly dogs have poor calcium absorption capacity and are prone to osteoporosis and bone spur hyperplasia, and have a relatively large demand for calcium supplementation! Owners should pay attention to feeding pet calcium tablets and bringing elderly dogs to the sun to maintain their health and longevity.
