Eric Eschmann Webboard User Reg: 06-15-2007 Posts: 162 Loc: Vero Beach, FL Offline	Good information, Connie. Thank you. Any thoughts on how chelated calcium fits in, or is that a little too obscure? Always looking for training avenues close to home. Any suggestions?

Chelated calcium is more expensive and it's bigger, so you have to take more to get enough calcium. Calcium chelates are calcium bound to an organic acid, like calcium citrate, to form calcium citrate malate. Calcium citrate contains 21 percent elemental calcium. I've read some studies showing it as absorbed more easily than most other forms. Again, though, these were studies on humans, and nothing I have seen indicates that dogs would benefit from chelates. Long story short: I don't know.

The proper calcium-phosphorous ratio just "happens" when we feed the meaty bones that replicate the dog's prey. :>

Satch just gobbles it up with the rest of the mix. Does the egg shell contain Calcium as well? If so how much Calcium would be there you think?

A regular commercial "large" shell would have about 2.2 grams of calcium in the form of calcium carbonate. I agree with Debbie that the egg and the shell are nicely balanced. Do you mean an egg (entire) every few days? Also, you know not to feed just the raw white, right? The yolk corrects for a biotin deficiency that the white on its own (raw) could trigger.

Yes I put one whole large egg (white, yolk and shell) in the mix which lasts about 3-4 days.
