Calcium Levels

[LoveMyJax]

What are the appropriate calcium levels for a growing dane puppy?

Thanks!

I wouldnt go any higher than 1.5%...my kibble is 1.0% i believe maybe 1.2%. is there a food you are looking at and unsure of??

It's Nature's Domain Turkey and Sweet Potato. Someone commented in another thread that they didn't think the calcium levels were high enough in that food. I emailed them (since i couldn't find the level on the bag or website) and they said it was 1.5%.

That food is fine that person probably thinks they need a lot of calcium which is the the exact opposite.

For a Dane pup, you need exactly the opposite! LOW calcium is importaint. Too high a calcium level leads to growth problems like knuckling.

Moose is now 10 months old and has been on Nature's Domain for months and we have never had an issue on it. He is doing wonderfully with it as is my DaneX

Thanks everyone...the other person said something about the calcium levels being too low but didn't say what they were. the bag and internet didn't say what the levels were either...so i had to email the company, but realized i didn't know how much was good anyways.

He loves the food (after not liking the lamb or chicken Blue Buffalo much), so I just wanted to make sure everything was good. I like the price!!
