Supplement Dosage Guide
Important: Follow Dosages Carefully
Do not adjust supplement amounts without understanding their nutritional impact.
Some nutrients have a wider safety margin than others, while certain minerals must be measured precisely.
Nutrients That Require Extra Precision
Calcium
Too much calcium can disrupt the calcium-to-phosphorus ratio, contribute to skeletal abnormalities in growing kittens, increase the risk of urinary issues, and create nutritional imbalances.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Excessive amounts may cause digestive upset, lead to loose stools, reduce appetite, and increase vitamin E requirements.
Egg Yolks
Increasing egg yolk intake affects multiple nutrients simultaneously, including fat, calories, vitamins, and minerals.
Making large adjustments can unintentionally unbalance a carefully formulated recipe.
Nutrients With More Flexibility
L-lysine
L-lysine generally has a relatively wide safety margin when used in appropriate amounts. Excessive supplementation may cause digestive upset, such as vomiting, diarrhea, or decreased appetite.
Taurine
Taurine generally has a wide safety margin, and excess amounts are typically excreted by the body.
B Vitamins
Many B vitamins are water-soluble, meaning excess amounts are often excreted through urine. However, megadoses should still be avoided.
Rule of Thumb
Minerals are usually the most important nutrients to measure accurately when formulating a raw diet. Calcium deserves special attention because even small mistakes can have a significant impact over time.
