Full definition
The calcium - to -
phosphorous ratio in the puppy diet is also important for optimal skeletal development.
Most breed experts recommend that puppies start on an adult dog food formulation with a protein percentage no higher than 26 percent, and a calcium /
phosphorous ratio of approx. 1.2:1.
Our Puppy range is based on the 80/20 recipe with the ideal calcium to
phosphorous ratio for young puppies.
Providing the correct calcium to
phosphorous ratio in the diet can be difficult unless the proper minerals are added.
When our glands become imbalanced, so does our calcium and
phosphorous ratios.
The second most common mistake is probably feeding foods with improper calcium /
phosphorous ratios.
Feeding all meat, or nearly all meat diets to dogs almost inevitably leads to feeding an improperly balanced diet, especially in the calcium and
phosphorous ratios.
The ground - in bone helps to balance the phosphorous levels as what really matters is the calcium:
phosphorous ratio.
In addition to being a great recipe to feed puppies for good healthy balance, this recipe has also worked well for dogs with medical conditions, such as kidney disease, thanks to correct calcium and
phosphorous ratios.
The diet should also have correct calcium to
phosphorous ratios to aid bone growth and skeletal development.
If fed a densely caloric diet lacking an appropriate calcium /
phosphorous ratio, Mastiff puppies and young adults are prone to skeletal disorders.
Depending upon the protein that is added, the Calcium /
Phosphorous ratio will vary.
When the food is prepared according to the Feeding Guidelines that we enclose in every bag of food the Calcium /
Phosphorous ratio will be perfect for a healthy dog.
Be assured that when the food is prepared according the instructions that the Calcium /
Phosphorous ratio will be perfect at approximately 1.3 parts Calcium to.9 Phosphorus.
.1.20 % Calcium /
Phosphorous ratio....
