Bone Builder is a palatable powdered calcium and phosphorus supplement formulated for pets fed home-prepared (meat, soya or fish-based) diets, providing the essential building blocks for strong bones and teeth in the AAFCO-recommended ratio.
Composition: Per 100g: Dicalcium Phosphate 82.7g, Calcium Carbonate 8g, Calcium Lactate Pentahydrate 4g, Magnesium Oxide (heavy USP) 1.3g, Brewer's Yeast 4g.
Indications: Calcium/phosphorus deficiency symptoms common in home-fed pets, such as shaking hind legs, poor dental condition, and reduced mobility; growth support in puppies and kittens; bone strength maintenance in senior pets.
Dosage: Cats, puppies and small dogs: 1 scoop/day. Medium dogs: 2 scoops/day. Large dogs: 3 scoops/day. Pregnant/lactating females: 3 scoops/day, only under veterinary supervision. Given once daily.
Directions for use: Sprinkle the recommended number of scoops onto the pet's normal food and mix in.
How does the medicine work? : Dicalcium phosphate and calcium carbonate supply calcium and phosphorus in the AAFCO-recommended balanced ratio, essential for proper bone mineralisation, while magnesium and brewer's yeast support overall mineral and B-vitamin balance.
Possible side effects: Do not use if feeding a nutritionally 'complete' commercial diet, as this can lead to skeletal problems from excess calcium/phosphorus - this product is intended for pets on home-prepared diets only. Not for use during pregnancy without veterinary supervision.
