Thank for that info. I might try adding a small amount of calcium next time I have a litter teething and the ears are going down.

I was just doing a comparison between the Pet-Cal and the Doc Roy's Healthy Bones.

Here are the ingredients of the Pet-Cal:

Ingredients: Dicalcium Phosphate, Malted Milk, Corn Syrup, Soy Flour, Spray-dried Whey, Nonfat Milk Powder, Wheat Flour, Dried Buttermilk, Brewers Dried Yeast, Magnesium Stearate, Corn Oil, Tricalcium Phosphate, Vitamin D3 Supplement

Calcium (600mg)
Phosphorus (464mg)
Vitamin D 400 IU


Doc Roy's Healthy Bone's:

Calcium (600mg)
Phosphorus (464mg)
Vitamin D 400 IU
Vitamin A 750 IU
Vitamin C 10 mg
My bottle of Doc Roy's Healthy Bones says it is formulated with a proprietary, highly palatable roast beef and liver flavor base. It does not mention soy flour like the Pet Cal does. My girls really like the Doc Roy's Healthy Bones.

I give my females nursing females 1/2 tablet twice a day.
