Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can dogs eat eggshells?
Yes - when finely ground. Whole or sharp shell fragments can be a choking risk, which is why heat-treated, finely milled eggshell powder is the safe, digestible way to give dogs the natural calcium in eggshell.
2. Why do home-cooked meals need added calcium?
Meat and rice are high in phosphorus but very low in calcium. Without a calcium source, the Ca:P ratio of a home-cooked meal stays imbalanced, which works against bone and dental health over time. A small daily dose of eggshell calcium corrects this.
3. How much eggshell calcium should I give my dog daily?
For dogs on complete & balanced commercial food, 0.5 grams per 10 kg body weight per day. For home-cooked or high-meat meals, 1.5 grams per 10 kg per day. Use the included scoop and do not exceed the recommended dose - more calcium is not better.
4. Is egg shell good for puppies?
Puppies need carefully balanced calcium for healthy growth, especially large breeds. Consult your veterinarian before adding any calcium supplement to a puppy's diet, and introduce gradually while monitoring tolerance.
5. Are there dogs who shouldn't have it?
Check with your vet first if your dog has kidney disease, bladder or kidney stones, or is already on calcium or vitamin D supplements - extra calcium needs professional guidance in those cases.
