There are many people who say that dogs can't eat bones because they are afraid of getting stuck in the stomach. They also say that they can't supplement calcium at all, and they are not good for the intestines (due to very dry bowel movements). But people drink bone broth to supplement calcium, so why don't dogs eat bones to get calcium?
Bone soup cooked in daily life, Its ingredients are mainly bone marrow, and most of the bone marrow is fat. Drinking bone broth supplements is not calcium, but mainly fat. There is also the best calcium supplementation with the participation of magnesium, the two can promote the absorption of each other, and there is very little magnesium in the bones. There is a lot of phosphorus in the bones, and phosphorus can take away calcium, but it is the loss of calcium. Even if a dog eats bones, it does not guarantee that it is not deficient in calcium. When a female dog is giving birth, the consumption of calcium is extremely large, and the calcium contained in meat bones cannot guarantee good absorption. Puppies have weak digestion and cannot eat bones. Calcium deficiency in adult dogs is manifested as irritability, hot flashes, easy fractures, and lazy running. The symptoms are similar to those of humans. Calcium supplementation methods are usually available with calcium powder, calcium phosphorus tablets or even calcium injections, or as prescribed by a doctor.
