Dogs need calcium for strong bones and teeth, for the musculature and the nervous system

Calcium is the most occurring mineral in the dog’s body. Approx. 1 to 1.5 percent of the dog’s body consists of calcium, 99 percent of which are in the bones. The essential mineral has many important functions.

Calcium for bones, teeth and muscles

Calcium strengthens the bones and the teeth of the dog, is of importance for the sensitivity of the nerves and muscles and makes the muscle contraction possible. This applies to both the skeletal muscles and the heart muscle.

Further functions of calcium

Calcium is also involved in stabilising the cell membranes and as a cofactor in the blood coagulation. It plays a role in the cell division as well as cell specialisation and it has a central buffer function in the acid-base balance.
Furthermore, the mineral plays a role in the normal function of digestive enzymes and in the energy-yielding metabolism.

Acceptance and tolerance

Vetipur products for dogs contains poultry liver as an acceptance booster. You may already know that your dog would do just about anything for a bread with liver sausage and you probably noticed or smelled that liver can cause flatulence in dogs. That is why we solely use hydrolysed liver. In the hydroxylation process, the protein chains, which are normally broken down by enzymes during the digestion, are artificially divided. This increases the absorption rate in the digestive tract and reduces the resting time in the intestines.
