  • High Dose: 20kg x 125mg = 2,500mg = 2.5g Calcium Powder per day
• Powder weight:
  • 1 Tbsp = 4.2g
  • 1 tsp = 1.4g
  • 1/2 tsp = 0.7g
  • 1/4 tsp = 0.35g

Adjust the dosage based on your bitch’s current diet and nutritional needs.

Usage Tips:

• Start with a lower dose, gradually increasing while monitoring changes in behaviour and general health.
• Milk production peaks at the time of weaning, so the daily dose should be adjusted accordingly.

Ensure to divide the total daily dose into 3–4 meals for better absorption and effectiveness. Always consider the nutritional content of the dog’s current diet when supplementing with calcium. Consult with your veterinarian if unsure about your dog’s specific needs.
