After calcium deficiency, dogs will experience delayed growth and development, poor appetite, swelling and deformation of joints, and eventually develop X-shaped or O-shaped legs, and may even lie in bed or walk on the slope. Therefore, once you find that your dog has calcium deficiency, you need to immediately take calcium and zinc supplementation to prevent situations that cannot be replaced. If the dog does not have significant calcium deficiency, or the owner is uncertain whether it is calcium deficiency, he can go to the hospital for blood test and then supplement calcium and zinc after diagnosis. The following are several common countermeasures for dogs to supplement calcium and zinc. We hope to help pet owners.

1. Choose suitable dog food.

There is no need to think that giving dog food to your dog. Considering its usual requirements, just eat enough and don’t be hungry. It is a personal act that evades responsibility and will harm the dog. If the owner buys poor quality dog food for cheap and feeds it for a long time, it will cause the dog to suffer from calcium deficiency, which will even aggravate the calcium deficiency. Regarding this matter, the owner must know how to pay for the dog and buy reliable and branded dog food. Before purchasing, you must also ask whether the calcium content of the dog food is considered to be the current absorption of the dog. Do more homework to maintain the dog.

2. Additional calcium filling.

If the dog takes protein food or meat food for a long time, it should also be moderately filled with calcium. This food contains relatively low calcium and contains a higher concentration of vitamin D. The dog's long-term intake of vitamin D with a higher concentration of vitamin D will inhibit the absorption of calcium. It is recommended that the owner should not feed the dog's liver for a long time. In addition, dogs must be fed Wang Ligui, so that they can recover their calcium levels in a short period of time and maintain all normal physiological work ability. In your daily diet, you should also pay attention to adding more calcium-containing ingredients, such as shrimp peel, kelp shreds, beans, etc., feed some fresh vegetables and fruits in moderation to fill in a variety of nutrients, and help dogs absorb calcium more strongly.

3. Excessive sun.

Dense sun exposure can also help dogs supplement calcium and zinc. The ultraviolet light in the sun can promote the absorption of vitamin D in the dog's body, and abundant vitamin D can help dogs absorb and convert calcium stronger, achieving the best actual effect of calcium and zinc supplementation. Therefore, in a life of bright sunshine, why not take your dog out to bask in the sun more often.
