What is DOG BLOOM M-121 used for?
DOG BLOOM M-121 is a mineral supplement formulated for periods of extra-heavy demand for calcium, phosphorus, and other minerals, such as pregnant and lactating bitches and growing pups. It is guaranteed at 19.60-23.20% calcium and a minimum 18.00% phosphorus, helping produce larger, stronger litters and a good flow of milk while building strong bones, good feet, and teeth. It is dosed at 1 teaspoon per 25 lbs of body weight.
Should M-121 be used by itself?
No. The maker says M-121 should always be used in combination with DOG BLOOM VM Supreme (or DOG BLOOM VM250), because those products provide the vitamins that make M-121 work.
