Alaska is a large dog breed with short collarbone and strong body. The body contains a lot of calcium, and normal and healthy Alaska needs a lot of calcium to maintain its health. Especially the one-year-old puppies, because their bones are not fully developed, are in a stage of rapid development, and need more calcium to support the growth and development of bones and help keep their teeth healthy.
Insufficient calcium intake will lead to health problems such as osteoporosis, so it is very necessary to give Alaska a proper amount of calcium.
2. Foods rich in calcium
It is necessary to provide puppies with a certain amount of dog food and fresh water. Some dog food brands that can be rich in calcium can choose from. In addition, there are some human foods that can supplement calcium for your little Alaska, such as sardines, bone marrow, yogurt, vegetables, chicken, cheese and oatmeal. These foods are rich in calcium and suitable for dogs.

Although it is necessary to give Alaska a proper amount of calcium, excessive calcium intake will also have a serious impact on Alaska's health. Calcium intake exceeding a certain limit may lead to health problems, such as skeletal growth disorder, kidney calculi and gastrointestinal discomfort. Generally speaking, it is recommended that dogs consume 500 mg of calcium every day, and adult dogs consume 1000 mg of calcium every day. The feeding amount of calcium supplement should not exceed half of the recommended daily intake. Therefore, for a one-year-old Alaskan dog, the daily intake of calcium depends on the dog's weight, health and eating habits. It is best to consult a pet doctor.
