Pet parents, you probably take a multivitamin every day that likely includes calcium to maintain bone strength, as well as support heart, muscle, and nerve function. But what about vitamin and mineral supplements for your dog? Do calcium supplements for dogs make sense, on top of your dog’s regular food? Read on to learn more-and, as always, be sure to check with your veterinarian before introducing any new supplements to your dog’s diet.
Do You Need Calcium Supplements for Dogs?
Your dog needs vitamins and organic compounds for balanced nutrition and normal growth. Calcium is an important part of your dog’s diet and contributes to their growth, healthy bone and teeth maintenance, proper muscle building and function, a strong heart, and healthy nervous system.
Dogs (like other animals and people) cannot produce vitamins and minerals naturally, so they have to consume foods that provide them. In the case of calcium, the highest content can be found in ground bone, eggs, fish and chicken, dairy-such as yogurt and cheese-legumes, and veggies like broccoli, sweet potatoes, and spinach.
According to Dr. Gary Richter, award-winning vet and member of Rover’s Dog People Panel, “All dogs are of the species Canis familiaris and as such have very similar nutritional needs.” Commercial dog food is specifically formulated to meet those needs. If your dog’s food is labeled “complete and balanced,” it contains all the vitamins and minerals your dog requires. So, generally speaking, a well-balanced diet that includes a good-quality dog food is going to cover your dog’s calcium needs. But there are some exceptions, which we’ll explore next.
When to Give Your Dog Calcium Supplements
If a commercial dog food is formulated to provide your dog with their calcium requirements, why would you need to give them a supplement?
Dogs with specific health and wellness concerns may benefit from calcium supplements. Symptoms of calcium deficiency, also known as hypocalcemia, include loss of appetite, weakness, muscle twitching, and seizures. Though rare, rickets is another disease that can point to deficiencies in calcium. Calcium deficiency can also be a sign of an underlying problem like kidney failure or an inflamed pancreas. It’s also important to observe dogs that are brand new moms, especially small breeds, for eclampsia, which is a drastic drop in calcium due to nursing. A veterinarian can help you determine if a calcium supplement is the right course of treatment (the addition of a calcium supplement for pregnant or nursing dogs is dependent on several factors and may or may not be recommended).
Another consideration is whether your dog consumes a homemade, whole food diet (highly recommended by Richter). If so, you may not have access to the specific vitamins and minerals your pet needs. That’s where supplements, such as calcium, for dogs can also come in handy.
“It is a good idea to consult with a veterinarian regarding any questions about nutrition,” Richter notes. This is especially important when feeding your dog a homemade diet. Your vet may even refer you to a veterinary nutritionist to determine the best course of vitamins for your dog.
