Phosphorus is an essential mineral that works with calcium to maintain and improve the health of a dog’s bones and teeth. It can also work with other minerals and enhance a variety of functions within the body, like metabolism.
Examples of foods that contain high phosphorus levels include:
When discussing kidney health, it’s important to understand that kidneys play a key role in maintaining balance in the body, which includes filtering waste from the bloodstream.
There are two kinds of challenges to kidney health: acute and chronic. Acute challenges might occur following an incident such as accidental ingestion of something harmful. Chronic challenges often relate to a gradual change in kidney function, which can occur as part of the natural aging process.
Phosphorus management is an important aspect of supporting kidney health. This is because kidneys play a role in processing and removing excess minerals from the body. When the kidneys are not functioning at their optimal level, it can lead to an imbalance of phosphorus in the body, which could put additional stress on your dog’s kidneys.
