Hello !
– After read this instruction https://www.dogfoodadvisor.com/best-dog-foods/best-large-breed-puppy-food/. I have question about this sentence. Please, explain to me what is it mean.
“Don’t use nutritional supplements when feeding your large breed puppy any commercial diet.””– My Akita Inu 7months puppy get a curve back. What should I do for her now ?
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.
