Can drinking bone soup in puppies replenish calcium? Do dogs eat beef bone soup and bone marrow to supplement calcium?
Many people say that dogs cannot eat bones, because they are afraid of pricking the stomach and intestines. They also say that they cannot supplement calcium at all, and it is also not good for the intestines (because the defecation is very dry). But people can also supplement calcium when drinking bone soup. Why can’t dogs supplement calcium when eating bones? The bone soup cooked in daily life is mainly bone marrow, and most of the bone marrow is fat. Drinking bone soup does not supplement calcium, but mainly fat. Also, it is best to have magnesium in calcium supplementation. The two can promote absorption of each other, and there is very little magnesium in the bones. There is a lot of phosphorus in the bones, and phosphorus can take away calcium, which is actually lost in the form of calcium.
Dogs eat bones and cannot guarantee that they are not lacking in calcium. When female dogs give birth, calcium consumption is extremely high, and the calcium contained in meat bones cannot guarantee good absorption. The puppies have weak digestibility and cannot eat bones. Calcium deficiency in adult dogs is manifested as irritability, hot flashes, prone to fractures, and lazy running, and the symptoms are similar to those in humans. Calcium supplementation methods usually include calcium powder, calcium-phosphorus tablets or even calcium needles, or as directed by doctors.
