Seaweed Calcium is typically used as the sole calcium and mineral source for a homemade diet. If you are already using the appropriate amount of bone in your formula then additional calcium is not needed. You could use Seaweed Calcium safely along with bone if more calcium was needed in the diet. Another good choice as a supplement to use as the calcium source in a homemade diet is our Natural Bone Calcium that is basically dried bone and has the entire nutritional profile of bone. I would also like to mention that Seaweed Calcium is a lower phosphorus calcium source. We provide some information on properly formulating a homemade diet in our article How to Feed Your Dog.
