Pet dogs
Regarding the attitude towards nutritional supplements. The nutrient ratio of good dog food is almost quite stable. With good dog food, there is almost no need to reduce the nutritional value excessively, and parents do not need to buy a lot of nutritional products and carry them home. This is not just an economic consideration. Blindly and excessively supplementing nutrients is not necessarily a good thing for dogs. Excessive absorption of certain substances and trace elements may even lead to irreparable consequences such as allergies and poisoning in dogs.
Dog food is not a panacea. Moreover, the dog's absorption is not 100%, and it does not mean that everything will be ok if you use good dog food. This is the key issue I am talking about in this article: the relevance of nutritional supplements. That is, the diet is arranged according to the dog's growth and physical needs at a certain point in time, and necessary items are added. Especially for dogs that have already developed certain symptoms, it would not be very smart if they still blindly want to use dog food to improve their health at this time.
Generally speaking, small dogs need less calcium than larger dogs. If fed high-quality dog food, small dogs do not need to supplement a large amount of calcium. Giant dogs are different. Therefore, the dog food specially designed for giant dogs will pay great attention to the nutritional issues of bones. For food, wet food and canned food are richer in calcium. If wet food and canned food are used as the main food, calcium is completely sufficient.
If the dog has obvious symptoms of calcium deficiency, which has even affected the behavior and physical fitness, it is recommended to increase the amount of calcium supplement for a period of time. Calcium poisoning is very rare and only occurs when the amount is appropriate for a long time, so parents do not need to worry too much. Regulatory calcium supplementation will not result in an appropriate amount of calcium. For Gumu, it is quite special. Gumu is not very effective for an appropriate amount of calcium.
Another situation is that pregnant and lactating female dogs need special calcium supplements. If the female dog has shortness of breath, tremors or even convulsions, it is also recommended to take calcium supplements or feed calcium gluconate as soon as possible, and the situation can be improved quickly.
Generally speaking, for large dogs, there are several situations where special supplementation of calcium is needed: long-growing puppies, pregnant and lactating female dogs, and symptoms of calcium deficiency. of dogs of all ages.
