“Don’t use nutritional supplements when feeding your large breed puppy any commercial diet.””

Hello Triet,

As this article explains, calcium and phosphorus level must remain within a critical range in order to decrease the risk a puppy will develop hip dysplasia later on in life. Adding a supplement to a properly balanced puppy food could easily increase the calcium and/or phosphorus content to a level that’s beyond the maximum safe dose.

Hope this helps.

The curved back may be a muscular development problem and should be evaluated by a vet. It may also be genetic.

Hi TheBCnut,
It is not genetic, her parents is fine. I think I do something wrong for her.
