CA-Dog 250g Powder

Medpet CA-Dog 250g is a mineral and vitamin supplement formulated specifically for dogs that require additional calcium, related minerals and selected vitamins. It is particularly useful for lactating dogs, when calcium requirements increase considerably, and as an aid in the treatment of calcium deficiencies diagnosed by a veterinarian.

The formula provides calcium together with phosphorus, magnesium and selected vitamins including vitamins A, D, E and C. Vitamin D is particularly important in the normal absorption and utilisation of calcium, while the balanced mineral combination helps provide nutritional support when a dog’s normal diet does not meet increased calcium requirements.

When can CA-Dog be useful?

Medpet specifically recommends CA-Dog for adding to the normal diet of lactating dogs where the demand for calcium is greater. Milk production places significant nutritional demands on the mother, and adequate calcium intake is particularly important during this period.

The product may also be used as an aid in the treatment of veterinary-diagnosed calcium deficiencies. Calcium supplementation should not be added unnecessarily to a complete diet, particularly in growing dogs, so veterinary advice is recommended where a calcium deficiency or increased requirement is suspected.

Why calcium and phosphorus matter

Calcium and phosphorus are important minerals involved in normal skeletal structure and numerous physiological processes. Their relationship is also important, which is why simply adding large quantities of calcium to a dog’s food without considering the complete diet is not recommended.

Vitamin D assists with normal calcium absorption and utilisation, while vitamin A also plays an important role in normal growth and physiological function. CA-Dog combines these nutrients in one easy-to-administer powder rather than supplying calcium alone.

Directions for use

Sprinkle one to two 5g measures over the dog’s food daily.

Medpet advises increasing the dose for pregnant or lactating bitches according to their increased nutritional requirements.

Where the product is being used for a diagnosed calcium deficiency, follow your veterinarian’s instructions regarding dosage and duration of supplementation.

This product is not recommended for cats.

Important feeding advice

Dogs eating a correctly formulated complete diet will normally receive calcium and phosphorus as part of that food. Additional calcium is therefore not automatically necessary for every dog.

Supplementation is most appropriate where there is a genuine increased requirement, such as during lactation, or where a veterinarian has identified a deficiency. This is particularly important in growing puppies because excessive or incorrectly balanced mineral supplementation can interfere with the nutritional balance of a complete puppy diet.
