MemberFrom what I’ve been reading, dogs need calcium in their homemade food. I’ve been using a Tb. of low fat, low sodium cottage cheese next to her breakfast meal. I would like to try eggshells if its any better, but don’t know how to prepare them.
Do I wash the eggs before using them, then rinse the empty shells and save up a collection?
Kind of confused.Would someone mind walking me thru egg shell prep? Please?

MemberHere’s the instruction that I use. https://www.mamanatural.com/how-to-make-eggshell-calcium/
In a nutshell:
Step 1: wash the egg shells
Step 2: boil submerged in water for 10 minutes
Step 3: dry on a sheet or in the oven 200 degree for 10 minutes or until they are dry.
Step 4: grind to powder using a coffee grinder1 tsp. contains approximately 800-1,000 mg. of calcium
Note: make sure the membrane is popped or else those shells will float out of the water.Patti S
ParticipantOther important sources of calcium may be obtained from spinach, beans, sweet potato, whole wheat or broccoli.
You don’t want to over-do calcium. Excess calcium causes numerous health problems, including kidney disease and some urinary stones. Ask your vet to advise you if you aren’t sure about how much calcium to give.Walter G
MemberThanks for the info.
