Non-Dairy Forms of Calcium

I’ve been researching other forms of calcium that dogs can have for the course I am doing. As I have to create my own dog food recipe.

This course I am doing is also based in England, and they don’t like the idea of giving dogs bones. So, I’ve discovered that dark green leafy vegetables such as kale, spinach, cabbage, broccoli, and Bok choy, are all high in calcium. Though, that’s not all as there is also rolled oats, brown rice, and lentils as well.

While dogs do drink the milk from their dam when they are born, they then become dairy intolerant after they have been weaned from her.

Core and quarter 6 green granny smith apples

The juice of 1 lemon

3 cups of water

1/3 cup organic honey

2 tsp. cinnamon

2 tsp. cloves

Method:

1 After the apples are cored and quartered put the quartered apple in a saucepan and pour the lemon juice over them, then add the water, which is three cups.

2 Then add the honey, cinnamon, and cloves and bring the water in the saucepan to a boil and let the concoction stew.

3 The filo pastry needs to be thawed and at room temperature then take a sheet of filo pastry and put it down on the table its short side facing you.

4 Next, squirt the olive oil over the sheet of pastry, then spread the oil around with a pastry brush and pick up a second sheet of filo pastry and put on top of the first. Then repeat with the olive oil, then next divide the pastry into twelve squares.

5 Then create two star-shaped tarts out of six of the squares and repeat this process another two times as this will fill a muffin tray.

7 Next, put the used muffin tray in a 180-degree Celsius oven and cook for 15 minutes or until pastry is golden then once these tarts are cooked let them cool down a bit.
