Key Ingredients and Their Roles

• Calcium — The most abundant mineral in the body, calcium is essential for bone and tooth structure. It also supports nerve transmission, muscle contraction, and blood clotting. During growth and lactation, calcium requirements can double or triple.
• Phosphorus — Works hand in hand with calcium to form hydroxyapatite, the crystalline structure that gives bones their strength. Phosphorus is also involved in energy production, cell membrane integrity, and DNA synthesis. A proper calcium-to-phosphorus ratio is crucial for absorption.
• Vitamin D — Often called the “sunshine vitamin,” vitamin D regulates calcium and phosphorus metabolism. It promotes absorption from the intestines and helps deposit these minerals into bones. Without adequate vitamin D, even a mineral-rich diet may not effectively support bone health.

PetAg's formula delivers these nutrients in a biologically available form, meaning your pet's body can utilize them efficiently. The chewable tablets are scored for easy breaking, allowing dosage adjustments as recommended by your veterinarian.

When Might Your Pet Need This Supplement?

While a balanced diet generally provides essential nutrients, certain life stages and situations may call for additional calcium and phosphorus. Growing puppies and kittens, especially large-breed dogs prone to skeletal issues, may benefit from extra support. Pregnant and nursing mothers have increased demands for these minerals to support fetal development and milk production. Senior pets with decreased bone density might also benefit, though veterinary guidance is crucial to avoid over-supplementation. Always note that this product is intended for intermittent or supplementary feeding only and should not replace a complete and balanced diet.

How to Feed PetAg Calcium Phosphorus Tablets

Using these tablets is straightforward. They can be hand-fed as a treat or crumbled and mixed with your pet's regular food. The palatable flavour appeals to picky eaters. Each tablet is scored, allowing easy breaking for precise dosing. Important: This product should only be used as directed by your veterinarian. It is not for use in puppies or kittens under 12 weeks of age. Dosage depends on your pet's weight, age, health status, and specific needs. Always follow your vet's recommendations and store the tablets in a cool, dry place.

Why Your Dog or Cat May Benefit from Calcium and Phosphorus

Calcium and phosphorus are two of the most critical minerals for maintaining strong bones and teeth in dogs and cats. During periods of rapid growth, gestation, and lactation, the body's demand for these nutrients increases significantly. PetAg Calcium Phosphorus Tablets provide a convenient, chewable source of these essential minerals, fortified with vitamin D to support optimal absorption. Whether you have a growing puppy, a nursing mother, or a senior pet, this supplement may help fill nutritional gaps in their diet. Many pet owners find that adding a calcium-phosphorus supplement helps their pets maintain healthy activity levels and overall vitality. As always, consult your veterinarian to determine if supplementation is appropriate for your pet's specific needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I give these tablets to my cat?

Yes, this product is formulated for both dogs and cats. However, cats have unique metabolic needs, so it is important to consult your veterinarian before starting any supplement, especially for cats with kidney or urinary issues.

How long does a bottle of 50 tablets last?

The duration depends on the dosage prescribed by your veterinarian. For example, if the recommended dose is one tablet per day, a bottle would last about 50 days. If the dose is half a tablet daily, it would last 100 days. Always follow the feeding instructions provided by your vet.

What if my pet is already eating a balanced diet?

If your pet is on a complete and balanced commercial diet, additional supplementation may not be necessary. Your veterinarian can perform a nutritional assessment and recommend whether this product would benefit your pet. Over-supplementation can lead to health issues, so professional guidance is essential.

Are there any side effects?

When used as directed, side effects are rare. However, excessive calcium or phosphorus intake can cause imbalances, leading to issues such as hypercalcemia or skeletal problems. That's why it's crucial to only use this product under veterinary supervision. If you notice any unusual symptoms, stop use and consult your vet immediately.
