After the puppy gets rid of exclusive breastfeeding, if the pet owner does not pay attention to supplementing calcium, the puppy is more likely to suffer from calcium deficiency, causing lameness. Even if the calcium deficiency is deficient, calcium supplementation is required. How to supplement calcium in fact? Pet owners who don’t know much about these aspects can refer to the following practices.
1. Calcium supplementation in daily diet
If the ingredients given to puppies by pet owners are always dog food, and the nutritional elements in dog food are less, it is impossible to consider the amount of puppies' growth and development. It is very important that bone growth requires calcium. Therefore, pet owners should not only feed dog food, but also add some calcium-rich ingredients to puppies, such as egg yolks, freshwater fish, and meat foods. They can be made into nutritious dog meals. Pay attention to adding less salt, and can also be matched with some fruits and vegetables. The nutritional combination is better for the puppies' human body.
2. Calcium supplementation in pet nutritional supplementation products
Choosing diet therapy to supplement calcium for puppies will have less effect. Since some of the nutrients in the ingredients will flow out after heating, some puppies will have weak gastrointestinal absorption and less calcium can be obtained. Therefore, if the puppies have already experienced calcium deficiency, the actual effect of diet therapy to supplement calcium is relatively slow. Pet owners can feed the puppies some pet calcium supplement nutritional health products, such as Wang Lijia, which can be fed immediately, or mixed into dog food to feed them together.
III. Sunlight promotes calcium digestion and absorption
Usually, puppies are filled with abundant calcium, but if puppies cannot flexibly use their body's calcium, they cannot achieve the purpose of supplementing calcium. Therefore, pet owners need to find ways to help puppies promote the digestion and absorption of calcium, and can take puppies to outdoors to bask in the sun. The sun can cause vitamin D to the puppies' skin, which can promote the digestion and absorption of calcium. In the case of sun exposure, puppies can also exercise moderately, which is also beneficial to the puppies' muscles and human bones. Consider as much as possible when the sun is soft and pay attention to the time to control the sun, usually within thirty minutes. You can also give your puppies more vegetables and fruits, which can supplement nutrients and can also help supplement calcium.
