Calcium?

[linz06]

When Layla was 4 months old, her vet switched her to hypo-allergenic adult food, from the eukenuba puppy food she was eating. Now I've read that puppies need more calcium in their first year than adult food provides. Layla's not tiny, she's probably 5 or more pounds now at 6 months, but she always jumps and now I'm worried her bones might not be as strong as they should be, or she might have problems later on. Should I be supplementing her food with something?

you can always give her some yogurt, cottage cheese, or regular cheese.

okay thanks! I know she likes cheese, whenever I'm shredding it she's right on it if it drops on the floor. I just wasn't sure if it was actually good for her because I thought I've heard that dairy products aren't good for dogs.

My dogs have always eaten quite a bit of cheese - and cottage cheese occasionally also.
