I was asked this question by someone a few days ago. I told him that egg shells are filled with calcium. Someone correct me please if I gave wrong advice.
**Dr. Martin Luther died in 1546. He was a great reformer of the church, and a great GERMAN SHEPHERD!**
My first choice for a dog that will not eat bones would be to grind up the chicken neck/backs and feed it like a 'hamburger' mixed in with the veggies etc. The *best* source of any vit/mineral is always its natural source. The body knows what to do with it. My butcher grinds mine up for me.
Yes, you can get a good source of calcium etc from egg shells, however, I am not sure that you would get enough of it.
Yes, you can also supplement it but you also need to supplement the phosophorus with the calcium. Both are needed and I forget the ratio off hand for dogs.
I *think* you can get a good supplement from Kymathy Schutlze? Not sure if it was her website or not. Will have to check it out.
Some people will substitute bone meal or powder. There has been a lot of controversy on whether this is helpful or more harmful. Some beleive the source of bone meal is tainted and more harmful than good.
Just a thought. I spent years raising reptiles. You might be able to use a calcium supplement for reptiles. Some brands have other things in them but its only other vitamins. Some are just calcium. Im not sure about %s but its already finely powdered and ready to go. Before anyone laughs to hard theres a lot of health care stuff in the dog and cat arena that is the same as human stuff only cheaper.
