Osteoform Calcium-Phosphorus and Vitamin Supplement
Our "Heinz 57" dog was badly hit by a car. She is normally about 58 pounds, a good 'medium' sized dog. In the accident, her pelvis was fractured and her hip dislocated with the hip socket "all but shattered". We bought these in the hopes that she would heal without losing the leg.
Priscilla does NOT like any pet-chew tablets, no matter how 'good' they taste. These are no exception, so I've given 3 stars on the taste. I'm glad these are small enough to get down her throat to make her swallow.
However, she is healing very, very well since the accident. Our vet is impressed with her recovery. I'm glad I bought these and would definitely recommend them to anyone else who's pet has suffered bone injury.
I recently purchased an English Mastiff for my wife for our 5th anniversary. Our breeder suggested giving them to our Meemii for the next few months. The vet said that it aids in their grown and helps their bones get stronger. Meemii eats them right up with no problem.
My vet told me that when Gracie had her puppies she needed to be on a good calcium supplement. So before she had her 3 beautiful baby girls, I looked on 1-800PetMeds and found this product at a very resonable price and appeared to be just what I was looking for. The meds. arrived very quickly, 2 weeks later I have 3 very healthy and plump puppies. Thanx for the service and saving me lots of money on an office visit!!!
I had a female with little milk production that had calcium during pregnancy. I bottle fed ten pups. I've read breeder forums since then that state it is best to only give calcium supplements after birth--during lactation. That giving during pregnancy can cause a depletion in her ability to naturally produce calcium. Now I'm nervous about giving prior to birth.
The Osteoform Calcium-Phosphorus and Vitamin Supplement can be used for cats or dogs. You would give 1-2 chewable tablets per each 11 lbs of pets body weight each day.
I have been giving Osteo-Form to my Saint Bernard pup off and on since I got him last December. He is now 10 months old and still growing. Is there something else that I can give him that would be just as good for his bone development as this is?
You may want to consider giving a product such as Super Joint Enhancer Tablets or Soft Chews which is an excellent product used to promote joint health.
