If a pet owner sees a sudden lameness in a poodle, especially when it is difficult to get up after lying on its back for a while, they should check to see if its legs and feet are injured, if there is no trauma then it is very likely that the lameness is caused by calcium deficiency. I’d like to share some tips on how to get calcium for your poodle here.
First, pay attention to adjust the diet structure
Pet owners want to give the poodle calcium will have to start with the daily diet, never the same to feed the dog dog food, because the calcium content in the dog food is very little, some dog food is not even calcium. It is recommended that in the daily diet, pet owners can make some nutritional meals to give the poodle calcium, feed some food with high calcium content, such as shrimp, tofu, beef, bone broth and so on, you can also give the poodle to eat some carrots, apples and other supplemental vitamins, so that the calcium better play a role in the body of the poodle fully absorbed.
Second, give the dog to eat special calcium powder
However, for poodles that are already lame and have trouble getting up and down, there is already an urgent need for calcium supplements, and I personally recommend that pet owners feed their poodles some calcium supplements for dogs to supplement their calcium needs. But the main pet owner note is not to blindly pursue “foreign brands” or “the more expensive the better” products, want to give the poodle calcium is not only a simple calcium supplement, but also have enough vitamin intake, in order to make the calcium is better absorbed by the poodle.
Three, take the dog to the sun
The ultimate goal of calcium supplementation for the Poodle is to allow its body to fully absorb the calcium, if the Poodle’s body does not absorb it, then how to supplement calcium is useless. Therefore, when the weather is sunny pet owners can take their pooch outdoors to the sun, the sun’s ultraviolet rays are also helpful to the pooch’s absorption of calcium, and proper exercise is also a great help to the pooch’s health.
