OK, with that out of the way...

Bone Meal provides the closest mimic to the balance of the ancestral diet








providing both Calcium & Phosphorus













Adult dogs need around 800 to 1,000 mg of calcium per pound of food fed. 









They also require the calcium to be supplied in a proper proportion to phosphorus.








Bone meal is frequently used as a source of calcium in diets that don't include raw bone. 








However, bone meal contains calcium and phosphorus.











Different brands of bone meal supplements contain different amounts of calcium and phosphorus, 






but the calcium:phosphorus ratio is always the same: 2:1. 

To balance a diet that contains lots of phosphorus, 

you will need to give an amount of bone meal that will provide 1,000 to 1,200 mg calcium per pound of food.

Providing you are using a bone meal powder that is 20-30% Ca, the average ration is 1 teaspoon to every 8 oz of raw muscle meat.
