Can dogs eat Eggshell powder?

Eggshell powder(卵殻パウダー)

Safe to feed

A powder that adds almost pure calcium, used to adjust the Ca:P balance in homemade meals.

What kind of food is this?

Finely ground eggshell. It is almost entirely calcium, with next to no calories, protein, fat, or carbohydrate.

Calcium is an essential mineral — material for bones and teeth, and also involved in muscle contraction and nerve signaling.

Its role is not to add other nutrients, but to top up the calcium that meat-heavy meals tend to lack and balance it against phosphorus.

How to serve

Measure the amount before using. On days when it overlaps with bone-in ingredients or other calcium sources, look at the total calcium in the meal. For growing puppies, do not add it on your own judgment — check the required amount first. Puppies cannot regulate how much calcium they absorb very well, and too much is known to affect bone development (especially in large breeds).
