Post Re: How much is Too much calcium?

Your dogs are old enough that it's not going to make a difference...and what the body does not need it will get rid of.Their major growth is done. It's growing young pups that should not have too much calcium. Problems start because most foods (puppy foods even more) have more than enough calcium in them...and then when owner's start adding more things containing calcium....that it becomes unbalanced for a growing puppy.

Adding a teaspoon of yogurt or cottage cheese is not going to make a difference....but adding a cup of extra yogurt or milk to an already calcium fortified diet for a young puppy...can do harm...over the long term.
