That sifting is what keeps sharp pieces out of the finished powder, which matters when it is stirred into food for a small animal. The membrane stays in the powder along with the shell.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe material comes from eggs produced domestically on American farms. The brand packs it as a loose powder, so a measuring spoon scoops it straight from the container.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCalcium content and ingredients\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne serving of the powder delivers 1,900 mg of elemental calcium, supplied by finely ground eggshells. The membrane is ground in with the shell rather than removed, so those two parts of the egg make up what goes into the spoon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMatching the powder to your animal and its food\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDogs and cats are the first two species on the label.

A buyer keeping one of those species can use the same container as a household with a dog and a cat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMix 1 teaspoon into 1 lb of the pet's food, unless a veterinarian gives other instructions. Check that the food you feed comes in pounds or can be weighed, since the teaspoon is tied to 1 lb of food and not to the animal's weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this eggshell calcium supplement\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow much calcium is in one serving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach serving contains 1,900 mg of elemental calcium.
