其實簡吾使有朋友問我你d 腸會吾會腰有問題, 會吾會由細到大補鈣? 其實此非正確觀念~因為其實好多vet都吾recommend  食鈣既supplement~ 返而好多時我會俾 Glucosamine 俾d腸,同老狗食下~ Touch wood 都係咩事都沒~行得走得~ 要明鈣本係係會gen出黎" 靚既鈣" 所以為本基本飲食為本, 靚既食物, 而supplement 既鈣為"差既鈣" 食得多會duplicate 左變成增生, 即骨刺, 仲長遠會生"腎石"手尾仲長~ 所以應多注意

Reference : side effect of calcium 

Large-breed puppies can benefit from less calcium. Puppies who consume too many calories and too much calcium may grow too rapidly which can result in the development of bone growth problems or joint problems. With your large-breed puppy, the goal should be a moderate, healthy rate of growth. That's why it's important to choose a diet with precisely balanced amounts of fat, calcium and phosphorus, designed specifically for large-breed puppies.

get too much calcium they will develop a bone deformity. you will then have a lot more problems on your hands/ please talk to your vet. 

The puppies do not need any calcium supplementation. In fact, supplementing calcium can actually cause the body to deplete calcium in the blood supply as it likes to keep a certain level, which will lead to bone damage.

The food truly will be enough. You want them to gain weight and size slowly, and that will be enough to keep their bones and joints strong. 


返而如果想for long term usage 係Joint / ball and socket development 發展應選 Glucosamine 成份為主既supplement 俾所有狗狗 

Glucosamine Dosage for Dogs


The accurate combination of glucosamine and chondroitin, prescribed by the vet, can be a miraculous arthritis medicine for dogs. You can mix it in dog food and can thus easily feed it. The three common types of glucosamine available in the market are glucosamine sulfate, HCl or 2KCl. Make sure to check the ingredients of the product and purchase the superior quality one. You should compare the 'price per day' by calculating the dosage required and the quantity provided by the manufacturer. The 2KCL and NaCl forms of Glucosamine are found in low-cost discount stores but you should never opt for such low quality drugs. Normal glucosamine sulfate dose is 20 mg/lb of body weight or one 500 mg. tablet per 25 pounds of body weight. But the dose may vary according to the severity of the condition. Initially, the dog may be given a larger dose and then the dose might be reduced as the condition improves.

The contents of the tablets may vary according to the brands, but tablets containing Glucosamine Hydrochloride (500 mg.) and Chondroitin Sulfate (400 mg.) would be considered as the best. The tablets are usually fortified with other minerals and vitamins (especially vitamin C). As explained above, dogs weighing less than 25 lbs can be given one tablet of 500 mg. Dogs weighing 25-50 lbs may be given 2 tablets per day; while dogs weighing 51-75 lbs are given 3 tablets per day. For a dog weighing above 75 lbs, four tablets can be prescribed. 

而我既小小心得就係賣人食用既joint product,選購成份一樣俾狗狗服用的~
