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 a 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. It is also 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 extremely 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 acids 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 tissue and fiber, which bind 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 - the dog's body absorbs calcium from natural bones up to four times faster than from taking calcium supplements!
