CANIPUR - calcigel

Application
CANIPUR - calcigel with organic calcium, high-quality gelatine and vitamin D3 provides dogs with the active ingredients they need to sustainably strengthen bone, tendon and joint structures during the growth phase, pregnancy and lactation as well as during increased performance.

Calcium requirements in dogs
Calcium, phosphorus and vitamin D3 play a major role in bone metabolism in dogs. Dogs need almost 10 to 15 grams of calcium and half as much phosphorus per kilogram of body weight. 90 - 95% of this is found in the animal's bones (phosphorus 80%).

The minerals stored there are released into the body as required with the involvement of the kidneys and intestines. If the dog receives too little calcium through its diet, the losses can be compensated for. However, if this condition persists, demineralization of the bones is the result. This massively increases the risk of brittle or fragile bones.

In the wild, dogs obtain most of their nutritional requirements from the bones of their hunted prey. But only the correct interaction of calcium, phosphorus, vitamin D3 and magnesium ensures a functioning calcium metabolism. A one-sided diet (calcium) is therefore less efficient.

With a supplement such as CANIPUR - calcigel, all nutrients involved in bone metabolism are provided in the correct ratio and reliably supplied to dogs, especially in times of increased demand (pregnancy, lactation, growth).
