Ingredient analysis of patient meals

Calcium and phosphorus are two substances that are closely related in the body’s metabolic process. Maintaining an appropriate calcium-phosphorus ratio in the diet is very important for both humans and dogs. Among domestic pets, there is almost no absolute lack of calcium and phosphorus, but an imbalance in the calcium to phosphorus ratio is relatively common. The doted pet dogs in the city eat more meat. In addition, "you cannot supplement calcium casually. Too much calcium will cause disease." The misleading propaganda of "stones" (the fact is: high-protein and high-fat foods are the culprits of stones!), many dogs have an imbalance in the calcium-phosphorus ratio in their diets. Long-term food high in phosphorus and low in calcium will lead to a series of chronic diseases.
Concerning the reasonable calcium to phosphorus ratio in dog food, the current consensus among all parties is that when phosphorus is 1, calcium is 1.2-1.4. Therefore, whether you choose dog food or homemade fresh food, you must pay attention to the calcium to phosphorus ratio of the food. Generally speaking, adult dogs require approximately 264 mg of calcium and 220 mg of phosphorus per kilogram of body weight per day. Puppies are in the growth and development stage and require twice as much calcium and phosphorus per kilogram of body weight per day as adult dogs. These values ​​are just averages for reference. Each dog’s physical condition and activity level are different, and the calcium and phosphorus requirements will also fluctuate.

What ingredients are high in phosphorus and low in calcium?

All pure meat ingredients are high in phosphorus and low in calcium. The calcium to phosphorus ratio of dairy ingredients is relatively suitable. Among vegetables, a few vegetables such as pumpkin and cabbage contain more calcium than phosphorus, and most vegetables are high in phosphorus and low in calcium. Therefore, when making homemade fresh food, it is necessary to add calcium tablets, bone meal or eggshell powder appropriately to balance the phosphorus in the food.
