Does the dog have to take calcium tablets?

Dogs of different breeds and sizes have different ways to supplement calcium at different ages. But no matter what size dogs are, they don't need calcium supplementation during lactation, because they can get a lot of calcium from breast milk.

Small dogs and small dogs fed with puppy dog food do not need calcium supplementation after weaning, because the puppy food will contain a proper amount of calcium.

However, large and medium-sized dogs should pay attention to proper calcium supplementation at this time. Because the bigger the dog, the faster it grows, and the greater the demand for calcium, the calcium contained in the general puppy food is difficult to meet their growth needs. If you feed your dog homemade food, you should pay more attention to supplementing calcium to your dog in time.

In addition, if your dog eats animal liver or meat for a long time, it should also be supplemented with calcium. Because this kind of food not only contains low calcium content, but also contains high concentration of vitamin A, long-term intake of high concentration of vitamin A by dogs will inhibit the absorption of calcium. Therefore, you should immediately get rid of the habit of feeding the liver for a long time and supplement calcium in time.
