Virbac Canitone Calcium & Mineral Supplement Tablets for Dogs & Cats

Select Variant: 30 tablets

Description

Ensure optimal skeletal bone density, meet heightened reproductive calcium demands, and protect growing joints with Virbac Canitone Calcium Supplement Tablets (Pack of 30), available online at VetMitra. Adequate bone mineral balance requires a consistent, bioavailable supply of dietary calcium and phosphorus. Companion pets fed unfortified home-cooked diets (such as boiled chicken, mutton, and plain white rice) or undergoing rapid skeletal growth spurts routinely face negative calcium balances. Left uncorrected, mineral deficiencies can lead to nutritional secondary hyperparathyroidism, soft or bowed limbs, weak dental roots, and painful skeletal deformities. In addition, lactating bitches face massive systemic calcium losses through milk production, putting them at acute risk of postpartum eclampsia (milk fever). Virbac Canitone Tablets provide high-strength mineral supplementation with physiological cofactors: High-Potency Elemental Calcium (700mg per Tablet): Supplies an optimal dose of bioavailable calcium to support the continuous remodeling of skeletal bone tissue, strengthen dental enamel, and maintain smooth neuromuscular contraction. Synergistic Bone Mineral Ratio (Phosphorus 400mg): Calcium cannot build dense hydroxyapatite crystalline bone matrices without an appropriate proportion of phosphorus. Canitone balances 700mg Calcium with 400mg Phosphorus (a ~1.75:1 ratio), ensuring proper bone mineral deposition without mineral competition. Vitamin D3 Absorption Catalyst (400 IU per Tablet): Vitamin D3 promotes the expression of intestinal calbindin transport proteins, facilitating the active uptake of calcium and phosphorus across the intestinal mucosa and into the bloodstream. Enriched with Magnesium (0.5mg): Magnesium acts as an enzymatic cofactor for alkaline phosphatase, which is required for bone mineralization and regulating parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion. Essential Support for Pregnancy & Lactation: Supports developing puppy skeletons in late gestation without depleting maternal bone reserves, and helps protect nursing mothers against postpartum hypocalcemia. Palatable & Chewable: Formulated with a pet-friendly flavor profile, allowing tablets to be given directly by hand as a daily treat or crushed into meals.
