Now there are more and more people keeping pets, and calcium supplementation is indispensable for dogs to grow up happily. So do you know how dogs should supplement calcium? How to tell if a dog is calcium-deficient? Today, I will also tell you the pet owners!
Discover whether a dog is calcium-deficient:
1. Look at the hair
Pet owners can check the dog's hair. When you find that the dog at home has a small amount of hair compared to dogs of the same age, and it doesn't look glossy, it indicates calcium deficiency, which will cause the hair to be unsmooth, dark yellow and dull.
2. Look at the teeth, and the pet owner can also check the dog's front teeth. If the pet owner does not fill the dog with calcium during the dog's tooth change period, the dog's front teeth will not fall off, and the growth and development of permanent teeth will be delayed, double-row teeth will cause the dog's front teeth to become more and more uneven and the gaps between the teeth will be large after adults.
3. Look at the human skeleton
Then, pet owners can carefully observe the dog's human skeleton to tell whether the dog is calcium-deficient. If calcium deficiency occurs, dogs usually suffer from human skeletal diseases, such as joint deformation, X-shaped legs, O-shaped legs, rib volutes, etc.

Fourth, pet owners can look at the muscles of the dog. If a dog hates fitness and likes to lie down and removes the symptoms, it means that calcium deficiency has long affected the growth and development of the dog's muscles throughout the body, causing it to feel weak. If calcium is not supplemented immediately, the dog's muscles will shrink and even terminate growth and development.
5. Look at the appetite
Finally, the pet owner can look at the dog's appetite. Generally, dogs with calcium deficiency will have a worse appetite, and then the human body will gradually lose weight, and nature will not have a good vitality and look very depressed.
