when should i stop giving my dog bonemeal??

Question

i have a dobermann and was wondering when i should stop giving him bonemeal - the ash supplement you sprinkle on their food to help their bones grow strong - he is now 1yr 8months old or do i continue giving him this supplement???

he is on pedigree chum tins (meat in gravy) and omega mixer biscuits! the vet said when we first took him there to add this to his food, but was just wondering if any large dog owners had done this and knew if i should be keeping him on bonemeal! i will phone the vet tomorrow but this is answers and i want one from someone in the know!!!

Answer 1

Okay so I don't know the answer to this question but:

I just want to say how great Dobermans are. They look awesome are very loyal and are excellent protectors of the home. I admire your choice of dog. I personally own an Akita but I do like the Doberman breed aswell. I know that you stop feeding puppies puppy food at eight months of age. However I don't have a clue about bonemeal sorry. Enjoy your dog you have purchased a great dog there!

Answer 2

There is no reason that this dog should of been put on bonemeal to begin with. Other than your vet taking your money. Put him on a high quality food, nothing else. This can cause bone problems, not the bones getting stronger.

Answer 3

if he is being fed a complete food,then I would think that all of his required vitamins are in that particular food.
but it would probably be a good idea to phone his breeder and ask,they would probably like to hear how he's getting on as well,
