In case you feed your dog with Yoggies 100% Dry or Complete Cooked Food, ADDITIONAL CALCIUM SUPPLEMENTATION IS NOT RECOMMENDED, as the correct phosphorus and calcium ratio is already balanced in the food composition.

Calcium from marine algae for strong bones
Healthy bones and strong teeth are the foundation of vitality for every dog and cat. Where else would our four-legged friends get the strength for play, chewing treats, and all the joyful moments we share with them? It’s no secret that, just like in humans, sufficient calcium intake is a key factor for a strong skeleton in animals as well.

But how can we add it correctly to the diet? An excellent choice is Yoggies® Calcium from Lithothamnium Calcareum algae, especially if you feed your dog a cooked or raw diet (BARF). It is a natural dietary supplement with a single ingredient – calcified seaweed. These algae are naturally rich in calcium and magnesium, contributing not only to healthy bones but also to proper muscle and nervous system function.

Calcium and phosphorus in the correct ratio
When it comes to calcium supplementation, more is not necessarily better. In fact, excessive calcium intake can be just as harmful as a deficiency. Therefore, proper dosage, as well as balance with other nutrients, is important.

In this case, a CRUCIAL role is played by the calcium to phosphorus ratio, which should ideally be around 1.4–2 : 1 (calcium : phosphorus).

This can be particularly challenging in a BARF diet, as raw meat (without bones) usually contains a high amount of phosphorus and a low amount of calcium. The same applies to homemade cooked food, which typically does not include added bones (in raw form!!!).

By adding Yoggies® Calcium from Lithothamnium Calcareum algae to your dog's diet, you can easily help balance this ratio.

Support for healthy digestion
Whether you have an active and playful dog or a more relaxed four-legged friend who enjoys cuddles on the couch, proper digestive function is essential for their well-being. When the stomach doesn’t work properly, the desire for play and activity diminishes.

Seaweed powder can also help here, as it contributes to regulating stomach acidity. The balanced pH of gastric fluids is important for the proper absorption of nutrients from food.
