Calcium And Phosphorus Amounts in Egg Shells, Coral Calcium, Seaweed Calcium and Bone Meal: www.dogsnaturallymagazine.com...

The reason you need to add a calcium supplement to your dog's meals is that a meat only diet would only give your dog phosphorus. So your job is to replace the calcium and other minerals found in bones - including phosphorus and magnesium. While meat is all phosphorus, bone contains a ratio of about 2 parts calcium for every part phosphorus.
Now there's one really important point I need to make before we look at calcium supplements. You'll see that the requirements for calcium and phosphorus are the amount needed per 1,000 calories of food. This is important … because if you feed your dog a fattier diet, it will contain more calories. So a food that contains more calories would need more calcium, phosphorus and magnesium overall. But as you're about to find out … most calcium supplements don't work for high fat, high calorie diets. So I can't give you a simple guide like "feed this much egg shell per pound of food." That would be dangerous for your dog. Don't worry, this will make more sense as we go … so let's get started.
The first calcium supplement I want to look at is egg shells. This is the supplement most raw feeders use but there's a problem with them … they only contain calcium - there's no phosphorus and no magnesium. On the other hand, real bones contain all three minerals. So why are egg shells a problem? Well, you can see that lack of phosphorus in egg shells means that if you're feeding anything more than 10% fat, there won't be enough phosphorus in the diet. And, the Ca to P ratio is way out of whack … ideally, you would want a ratio of about 1.1:1, which is what you would get with real bones or a commercially prepared raw diet. So you CAN feed eggshells as long as your diet contains no more than 10% fat. But for puppies and pregnant moms, you can't use egg shells. There's not enough phosphorus to meet their mineral requirements. So the bottom line on egg shells is, they're not a good source of calcium for any dog but you can get away with them if the diet is less than 10% fat. In this case, add 1 teaspoon per pound of food. And don't forget, this includes any oils you add to your dog's meals. By the way, let me know in the comments if this is helpful and if you want more of this content. It's important to build a raw diet the right way and I"m here to help you.
So next, let's look at coral calcium - and seaweed calcium is similar although it has a bit more phosphorus and magnesium. Now like egg shells, coral calcium is really high in calcium but relatively low in phosphorus. And once again, you can see that if your dog's food is more than 10% fat, he won't be getting enough phosphorus. And for puppies and pregnant moms, you just can't get enough phosphorus to balance out the calcium they need. So you can give coral and seaweed calcium to adult dogs only - but only if the diet is 10% fat or less. Add 3/4 to a teaspoon per pound of food.
Now last, I want to look at bone meal as a calcium supplement. Bone meal is just bone that's been dried, either with or without heat. To be honest, even heated bone meal is OK because minerals are really resistant to heating … but there are lots of brands of bone meal that are dried without heat. If we look at bone meal for adult dog diets, now you'll see that we can use if with any amount of fat. And the Ca:Ph ratio is right where we want it to be. And this is because, like real bone, bone meal contains all the minerals your dog needs to work with calcium, not just calcium. For adult dogs, feed about 2 tsp per pound of food. Now what about puppies and pregnant moms? Once agin, bone meal works. In fact, bone meal is the only calcium supplement that works for growth and reproduction - unless you want to give your dog a chemical source of calcium. Now, for growth and reproduction, you do need to adjust the amount based on the amount of fat. If you have a question or you need any help with your dog's diet, just leave a comment below and I'm happy to help you out.

Funny. My family's dog - while I was growing up - ate our left overs. The dog lived to 18 years. 😂
You are a lifesaver. No wonder your channel is hard to find -> With this information you are putting the highly processed kibble (poison) makers right out of business.
Im so glad I found this channel! I have 4 Chi's I've had on a 90% raw diet for a couple years now and I want to express my gratitude to you for all the videos you post. I really needed some educated guidance to feed them properly.
Thanks for that lesson, very much appreciated.
Better Bones!! Love the stuff. Thank you!
Great information. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you! Yes more content like this would be amazing!
You got it!
Thank you so much - yes please!! More videos like this will be a Godsend! 💕🐾🐶🐶🐾 💕
We're working on it!! :)
Very helpful as our dog gulps food and chokes on bones. Thank you so much!
Our pleasure!
I feed my dog raw eggs with the shell. But that's not the only source of calcium. But I think it is important to feed the shell with the egg.
Feeding your dog a raw egg with shell is a great idea!
Love the video. What brand of bone meal is right for dogs? Thanks.
We love Four Leaf Rover's Better Bones because it's from grass finished cows, it's not heated and is tested to be below the EPA's safety limit for glyphosate.
Was wondering if oat straw green tops would be ok to give as a calcium additive to their food. It is so rich in calcium but don't know about digestion.
My puppy has commercially produced complete meals with bone. However, at 6 months old I gave my cockapoo a raw chicken wing has a treat and he loved it once he worked out how to eat it and break it apart. He enjoyed the new adventure and it was something for him to get his brain around. It got him thinking about it. Then the next time, I gave him a wing again, and he cobbled it up. Another week I gave him a new adventure with a chicken leg and he ate it straight away. He is still learning that he has to keep those wings and legs in the kitchen and not bring them into the lounge to eat. My question to you on calcium, is Vit K mentioned in animal nutrition? "Millions of people take vitamin D and calcium supplements for bone health. New research shows that this actually increases the risk of heart attack and stroke because the added calcium builds up in arteries--the calcium paradox. The secret to keeping bones strong and arteries clear is vitamin K2, a little-known supernutrient that humans once thrived on and that has been ignored by scientists for almost 70 years." Dr. Rheaume-Bleue, the author of Vitamin K2 and the Calcium Paradox
The funny think about both vitamin D and vitamin K is that they are manufactured by gut bacteria. They convert vitamin D precursor to the active form of vitamin D. It's likely that supplements are not the answer, but a healthy gut is!
@@DogsNaturallyMagazineDNM In human nutrition, Norwich University discovered that everyone that touches a child prior to the age of three impacts upon their gut flora. It makes me wonder if it is the equivalent with pets. There is a lot more to gut flora than what we produce naturally. A lot more research with pets has to be done.
I have a 4 month old pomsky puppy. I give him chicken neck bone and chicken backs. How often should I add these bones to his diet, and should I also add bone meal powder. He gets three meals a day, and gets bones at least in one of his daily meals. I want to feed him correctly. BTW, he’s on a raw food diet. Thanks
So does calcium and phosphorus content vary between bone meal brands? I have NOW brand bone meal would I use 2 teaspoons per pound of food?
How much bone meal would you suggest I give my 6 month old Australian Shepherd puppy? She is currently eating Dr. Marty's freeze dried Raw Nature's Recipe. Yes, I know it is not as good as what you can make, but it is the best that I can do. And what is the best place to find the bone meal that would be good to give them?
You are feeding a complete in balanced diet so there’s no need to add any bonemeal to this
I really want to feed my dog more bones. She is almost 50 pounds. I feed her chicken bones, no problem. I'm a little scared to feed her oxtail and larger, denser bones. I bought some oxtail and they seemed really big and I pounded it up with a hammer a bit, which was actually harder to do than I thought it would be. Would you still recommend the oxtail for her? She loves them and I don't want to be at fault for her not getting them for her. I enjoyed this video. Thank you!
If the ox tail is cut up, it could be a choking hazard. Try smaller veal tails as well as lamb ribs, breasts and necks. Turkey necks are also a really nice option.
Please help. Where can I find healthy bone meal?
How do I balanace out phosphorous and calcium if my dog has kidney disease and requires low phosphorous?
Too much calcium can cause issues for the kidneys.
You need to feed high quality protein with kidney disease and you also need to make sure you feed foods that bind to phosphorus such as leafy greens. Here's some more information: www.dogsnaturallymagazine.com/canine-diets-for-kidney-failure/
What about goat kefir? It’s 120 mg calcium, 100 mg phosphorus, 12 mg magnesium?
I can't get my Chihuahua to eat anything, except chicken, buttered bread and cheese. I want her to get all the nutrients but she just won't eat them. What can I do to get her to eat right?
I wouldn't give a dog any cheese with yeast in it, maybe now and again, but never on a regular basis. In humans the yeast can cause candida and intestinal issues. In the beginning my puppy would eat the berries and loved strawberries, now he won't eat them. Now he asks for carrot and courgettes when I am preparing food, he likes to crunch on those. His taste buds keep on changing while he is developing and dogs tend to be body intuitive. If he thinks something isn't quite right with a meal, he certainly won't eat it, and would rather not eat at all for the day. Does your chihuahua eat treats? Then make some treats and include the nutrients that the dog requires. I make mine and freeze them. My puppy knows where his treats are.
My dogs love butternut squash. I cook veggies with meat and they like them that way.

My dog gets magnesium from coconut water
I gave my puppy some coconut milky water for dogs and he was sick. I haven't tried him on it again since. He was OK on a little goats milk that he tried once.
So many things wrong here. Where did she get her info?
What part of the info is incorrect? I ask because I do like to take most things I read or watch on the internet with a grain of salt. My dog's diet is definitely no exception.
@@polarisedelectrons - I don't remember details now. I think I remember her saying some things that where known to be true mixed in with some things that the evidence didn't support and she didn't provide links to her sources
lmao
