Why is Calcium So Important for Puppies and Kittens?
Do we have to give besides daily food?
Same as human, calcium have the same functions
● For strong bone, balance the calcium and phosphorus ratio in the blood
● It affects bones, muscles, and cardiac muscle
● It participates in the endocrine mechanism
That's why it's important for growing, pregnant, and lactating pets.
Daily Meal is usually a complete and balanced diet, but puppies, and pregnant, or lactating moms, need additional supplements.
If you're feeding homemade food or raw food, it's recommended to add these supplements too
How does calcium deficiency affect dogs and cats?
Calcium deficiency can be caused by:
● Inappropriate dietary content
● Excessive in urine or feces
● Calcium-phosphorus ratio imbalance
● Need a lot of calcium during growth or pregnancy and lactation
Most dogs with mild calcium deficiency have no symptoms.
However, severe calcium deficiency may cause muscle tremors, cramps, abnormal heartbeat, and stiff gait, it may even be life-threatening.
What should I pay attention to when helping Furkids with daily calcium supplementation?
If given an appropriate dose, calcium supplementation usually does not have side effects,
But still, pay attention to whether they are constipated;
If given too much, it may cause bone dysplasia, bladder stones, mineralization of soft tissue, nausea, vomiting, decreased appetite, etc.
Therefore, if fed to a dog with heart or kidney disease, special care is required, it is recommended to ask a veterinarian to assess the calcium supplementation.
JointFix Q&A
Q: Is the Patented Collagen Type II in JointFix UCII?
A: Though they are both collagen, they are different!
The Japanese Patented Collagen Type II in JointFix has smaller molecules of protein peptides, whereas UCII has bigger molecules, and is from an Unresolved triple helix structure. Even though Collagen Type II requires more doses than UCII, because of smaller molecules, it’s easier to absorb.
Q: Why use capsules?
A: To effectively avoid nutrient loss since a capsule can isolate the air, a single package can prevent moisture and sunlight, so each and every capsule can be well preserved, easy to carry, and safe to eat.
Q: Can a dog or cat with kidney problems eat JointFix?
A: A capsule of JointFix contains 0.2mg of sodium, you may still give your dogs or cats JointFix if they have kidney problems, but if they’re undergoing kidney dialysis, please consult with your vet before you give.
Q: Can JointFix and Cal Force be taken together?
A: Yes! Both nutrients do not conflict with each other! The vitamin C in JointFix can even help the calcium in Cal Force to absorb.
Q: Are you sure a 35kg Furkid is enough with 3 capsules?
A: 3 capsules are enough for daily healthcare supplement needs. Nutrient intake is not the only thing for joint care, the most important is long-term consumption, so your nutrition in the body won’t stop.
Q: Why choose shark chondroitin, will it affect the ocean ecology?
A: Currently, the primary source of chondroitin are cows and sharks. In recent years, there are still several cases of mad cow disease. After consideration, we choose shark cartilage for our chondroitin source. In addition, sharks have cartilage throughout the body, and the ratio of protein, chondroitin sulfate, and mucopolysaccharide nutrients is relatively high.
We also select the suitable raw materials, by following the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT), Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC), and Regional Fisheries Management Organizations (RFMOs) standards so that fishery resources can be sustainable.
