Bones - an irreplaceable source of calcium and phosphorus

Every Top Dog Bistro patty contains the right amount of bone meat
A balanced BARF diet must contain bones, or rather bone meat. This is the main source of calcium and phosphorus, which are essential for maintaining optimal dog health! Meaty bones can be fed whole or ground. These are the bones found in every Top Dog Bistro recipe patty, so if you find a small bone - don't be alarmed, your dog's stomach is perfectly prepared to digest it and absorb all the necessary substances!
Rabbit carcasses, duck and chicken backs, turkey and duck necks, salmon heads and carcasses, which are included in different Top Dog Bistro recipes - these are our carefully selected sources of calcium and phosphorus for your dog!

Bones - an irreplaceable source of calcium and phosphorus
Calcium plays a crucial role in maintaining the proper condition of bones and teeth, and also acts as an ion reservoir in the dog's body. Thanks to calcium, cells can respond to hormones and neurotransmitters. Meaty bones are undoubtedly the main source of calcium in the BARF diet. Smaller amounts of calcium are found in dairy products and vegetables, but they are more difficult for the dog's body to absorb and do not meet the necessary needs.
Phosphorus is the second most important mineral for a dog's bones and teeth. In addition, it is essential for the formation of DNA and RNA cells and for many of their functions. Like calcium, phosphorus from animal sources is absorbed much faster and better than from plant sources.

Especially important for puppies and young dogs
The right amount of bone meat in the diet is especially important for young and growing dogs, especially large breeds. Puppies grow quickly, their bones and joints often "lag behind" this growth, so it is especially important to ensure a sufficient amount of well-absorbed calcium and phosphorus.
Calcium and phosphorus are not the only beneficial elements obtained from bone meat. It contains protein, iron, collagen, fatty and amino acids.

The right amount of bones ensures smooth digestion
A balanced amount of bone meat ensures smooth digestion and bowel movements. Bones are rich in tissues and fibers, which combine with other nutrients in the digestive tract, thus improving digestion and preventing diarrhea. A dog that defecates properly never faces problems with blocked anal glands.

Another important thing - a dog's body absorbs calcium from natural bones up to four times faster than from calcium supplements!
