Calcium and phosphorus are the minerals bone is built from, and the ratio between them matters as much as the amounts. Vitamin D is what allows calcium to be absorbed in the first place, which is why a calcium supplement without it does considerably less than expected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is flavored to be taken by hand before a meal, and it crumbles cleanly onto food for a pet who would rather not take a tablet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGive one tablet per 20 lbs of body weight by hand just before feeding, or crumble it and mix with food. Follow your veterinarian's direction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAdditional Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor dogs and cats. This is a nutritional supplement, not an FDA-approved drug.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStore in a cool, dry place with the container closed and keep out of reach of children.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAsk your veterinarian first\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCalcium is one supplement worth confirming before you start, because more is not better. A complete and balanced commercial diet already contains calcium, phosphorus and vitamin D in a set ratio, and adding to it can throw that balance off rather than improve it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis matters most with growing large breed puppies, where added calcium on top of a complete puppy food can interfere with normal skeletal development. If your dog is a growing puppy, talk to your veterinarian before giving this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere a calcium supplement does earn its place, such as a home-prepared diet, a nursing mother, or a specific deficiency your veterinarian has identified, it is genuinely useful. Your veterinarian can tell you which situation you are in.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zoetis Animal Health","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52990241177831,"sku":"M-032891","price":21.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0626\/7053\/6935\/files\/pcal.webp?v=1793830985","url":"https:\/\/petrx.com\/products\/pet-cal-palatable-calcium-phosphorus-vitamin-d-preparation-for-dogs-and-cats-60-tablets","provider":"PETRX.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
