Di-Calcium Phosphate supplement
As I was reading about hunting, antler growth and how to supplement a deer heard, I found some interesting information.
Di-Calcium Phosphate is commonly used in any animals diet that wants to promote calcium growth for either horns or bones.
Large animals need it for many reasons. Male deer for antler growth, female for lactating, so I composed my own (Pro Advised) my own mineral luck at the end of the woods. About 75%salt and the rest trace or di-cal mineral. This is to create a space to where they can come, and they usually eat the dirt out of the hole, in alm honesty. Seems they crave minerals, just as we all do.
Which led me to the question. Could this be beneficial for my senior Lab,Abby. With her surgeries on both back legs, In my mind , it can only help. Thought of creating a salt lick (smaller scale) for my dogs. They will drink more, but that’s ok.
Here is a link to some of the information about these supplements.

I know, probably should run by Doc, and I will. However, we are talking supplements, and I already give her a steady dose of glucosamine and chondroiten. Thoughts and any success story welcomed.
Thanks
