BETTER BONES
8.04oz Jar
It’s important that your dog gets the right amount of calcium and phosphorus. Joint and skeletal problems can begin to develop if these minerals are out of balance. Bone is the correct ratio of calcium and phosphorus, which makes it really easy to balance in a variety of diets.
Calcium sources like coral, seaweed and eggshell are good, but they have little to no phosphorus content. This creates a real challenge when trying to balance your dog's minerals.
Better Bones is rich in amino acids and growth factors which are often lacking in other sources of calcium. It also contains natural vitamin D which regulates the calcium and phosphorus balance.
USAGE:
