Hi, doctor. I'm curious about calcium supplements for my dog. Whenever I inquire with our local veterinarian in Mangalore, they advise against it, and we've been struggling to find a reliable doctor for the past few months.

Hi ashwitha, calcium supplements are important in puppy stage. after 1-1.5yrs calcium supplements are not required, only in case of deficiency or bone weakness we insist of supplements. If your pet is 3yrs old supplements are not necessary, give him a balanced diet. You can choose ingredients like ragi,eggs, cooked spinach etc which are rich in calcium.
