Virbac Calci-D

Calci-D Calcium & Vitamin D Supplement

A calcium and vitamin D supplement designed to support healthy bones and help balance calcium intake in dogs, particularly those fed meat-based diets.

Calci-D provides supplementary calcium and vitamin D to support normal bone development and maintenance in dogs.

Meat-based diets can be naturally low in calcium and may have an inappropriate calcium-to-phosphorus balance if they are not correctly formulated. Calci-D can be used as part of a balanced feeding program where additional calcium and vitamin D supplementation is required.

Calcium for Bone Health

Calcium is an essential mineral involved in a range of normal body functions, including:

• Development and maintenance of healthy bones and teeth
• Normal muscle function
• Nerve function
• Supporting normal skeletal development

Added Vitamin D

Vitamin D plays an important role in calcium and phosphorus metabolism, helping the body appropriately utilise these minerals for normal skeletal health.

Suitable for Meat-Based Diets

Calci-D may be particularly useful for dogs consuming home-prepared or predominantly meat-based diets where calcium intake may otherwise be inadequate.

Simply adding calcium does not necessarily make a homemade diet nutritionally complete, so the overall diet should be appropriately formulated for the dog's age, size and life stage.

Key Benefits

• Provides supplementary calcium and vitamin D
• Supports healthy bones and teeth
• Supports normal skeletal development
• Helps address inadequate dietary calcium intake
• Particularly relevant to appropriately formulated meat-based feeding programs
• Suitable for dogs where calcium and vitamin D supplementation has been recommended

Important Information

Calcium and vitamin D should be supplemented carefully, particularly in puppies and growing large-breed dogs, as excessive or incorrectly balanced supplementation can interfere with normal skeletal development.

Use according to the product label or veterinary advice and consider the calcium, phosphorus and vitamin D already supplied by the complete diet.

If your dog is already consuming a nutritionally complete and balanced commercial diet, additional calcium supplementation may not be necessary.
