Whole Bone Powder

Bones as a natural source of minerals in a cat’s diet
Alongside meat, bones are an important part of a cat’s natural prey diet. They provide essential minerals, especially calcium and phosphorus, which are needed for maintaining healthy bones and supporting normal body functions.

Bones also contain naturally occurring collagen, cartilage, trace minerals, and amino acids that are part of the nutritional composition of whole prey. For calcium to be properly used by the body, it needs to be supplied in the right balance with phosphorus. In nature, predators achieve this balance by consuming the bones of their prey.

If you do not feed bones with the meat, bone powder can be a suitable alternative
When preparing homemade cat food without bones, it is important to provide an appropriate source of calcium and other minerals. A diet consisting mainly of meat without a suitable calcium source can lead to an imbalance, as cats naturally obtain these minerals by consuming the bones of their prey.

Tatzenladen Whole Bone Powder provides a natural source of calcium and phosphorus and can be used as an alternative to fresh bones when preparing homemade cat food.

Freeze-dried bone powder to supplement homemade cat food with calcium
Tatzenladen Whole Bone Powder is made from pure bone powder and contains no artificial colours, fillers, or unnecessary additives. It provides a natural alternative to the bones a cat would naturally get from eating whole prey and provides minerals that are naturally present in bone.

The bone powder is made from carefully selected raw materials and processed to preserve its naturally occurring minerals. The bone is sourced from cattle that are subject to regular food safety controls.

Recommended use
Use as a natural source of minerals in homemade cat food when fresh bones are not included in the recipe.

Always follow the recommendations of your recipe and ensure an appropriate calcium-to-phosphorus ratio of approximately 1.1:1 to 1.3:1 in the complete diet.

As a general guideline, use 2 level tablespoons of Whole Bone Powder (approx. 16 g) per 1,000 g of fresh boneless meat (with or without organ meat).
