The single most important supplement, when feeding dogs on the wholesome raw meat diet, is calcium.
In nature, the richest source of calcium is the prey's blood. However, even if you follow K9 Tiger "school", and feed your dogs with the raw meat, the meat we obtain from the butchers or supermarkets is already well drained from the blood, and the amount of calcium that can be extracted from such meat is not sufficient.
While bones do provide calcium, bones also provide too much phosphorus which we want to actually avoid.
That's why calcium tablets supplement to the raw meat diet is the answer to the animals' calcium needs.
The critical period to provide sufficient amount of calcium to the animal is obviously when they are still growing (up to around 18 months). The pregnant or lactating bitches also need a lot of calcium, as their needs for calcium are doubled.
Dosage:
Adult: 1 calcium tablet per 5kg of body mass
Puppy: 1 calcium tablet per 2.5kg of body mass
Pregnant or lactating bitch: double the dose
