Calcium is an essential element in the growth stage of dogs and is a key inorganic component in the human bones and teeth of dogs. It also participates in basically all basal metabolism of dogs.

When should dogs supplement calcium? Different dogs have different calcium supplement requirements.
For small dogs, calcium supplementation begins at the stage of development, growth and development of young dogs. After the dog's growth and development ends for six months, calcium supplementation should be considered as appropriate according to the dog's requirements.

For medium and large dogs, their growth and development rate are rapid during their growth process. The nutritional components in the diet cannot meet the needs of physical development. Therefore, in order to prevent the negative effects of lack of calcium, cat slaves must pay attention to supplementing calcium to the dog. Generally speaking, the two-month period of medium and large dogs must start to supplement calcium. 4 to 6 months is a critical period for bone growth, so calcium must be supplemented at this stage. Due to the high exercise intensity, medium and large dogs in adults have high requirements for the compressive strength and bone growth of human bones, so appropriate calcium supplementation is necessary.
