Animal Essentials Seaweed Calcium Dog & Cat Supplement, 12-oz

I feed my golden a homemade raw diet formulated by a canine nutritionist and his recipe includes this supplement. This is my third time repurchasing (first time through Chewy). They did recently update the packaging from a plastic container to a resealable bag.

My vet wants me to add a little calcium to my dog's diet. He's eats a combination of raw and homecooked and the homecooked doesn't offer enough. Most recommend Bone Meal but I've read and see that bone meal often is contaminated with heavy metals, especially lead. I believe this to be a better and more absorbable source with little to no contamination.

Excellent product I’ve been purchasing it for years

I like the ease of adding the powdered additional calcium to my homemade dog food. I had used egg shells in the past and it was coarse and more expensive.

This is exactly what I was looking for to add to my dog's homemade food!

My indoor cat has IBD. Diarrhea all of the time. I cannot put him to sleep, I wouldn’t unless he was suffering and he’s not, he is healthy otherwise. This is beneficial in several ways. It helps supplement minerals they normally don’t get and it also helps to slow or stop loose BMs. It’s essentially like if we chewed a bunch of “TUMS” (calcium carbonate), it dries it up, adds bulk. It has made a huge difference in his life (and ours). Dosage may be different for a cat than dog, rather than by the pound so speak with your vet first.

I home cook for my elder dog. I Trust and use many of this company's products. This calcium is complete with more then calcium. Safe and well sourced. You can call them and get your questions answered. Very knowledgeable.

I've been using this product for less than a month (bought my first jar elsewhere), but it seems to be agreeing with my dogs, one of which is extremely allergic to a ton of things. I make my own dog food because of those allergies. It was impossible to find a commercial dog food that didn't contain some of her allergens and most dog foods contain too many additives and unhealthy ingredients for my senior dogs. I can't feed raw meaty bones all the time and since she's allergic to eggs, I can't use ground eggshells to supplement calcium. I also didn't want to use synthetic vitamins and minerals. I had to come up with an alternative. My local pet health store recommended this product.

Great replacement for calcium in homemade diets. We’ve been using for over a year and only had good results.

This is easy to fix in to my dog’s fresh meals. He eats it with no problem.
