I am glad to hear that your dog is doing well using our Vitality Blend! First, I would like to mention that the herbs used in our formula are not really "high" in calcium, but may be considered a good source of calcium. It is hard to get too large an amount of vitamins or minerals from whole foods as you may from a dietary supplement. Second, when you take the small serving size of the Vitality Blend used for a dog or cat into account the amount of vitamins and minerals in each serving offer nutritional support and are not even remotely close to being too much. Foods high in oxalates that comprise a large portion of your dog's diet, if you fed spinach for example, could be more of a problem. The important thing to remember is that calcium binds to oxalates in the gut to remove them from the body. So if your dog is ingesting a food with oxalates you want to make sure that food also has sufficient calcium to bind them and the whole foods in this formula do just that. If your dog is susceptible to urinary crystals, you can use our Antilithic herbal remedy for one week every month to help keep your dog's urinary tract healthy. One final note, water also helps to flush oxalates out in the urine so it is important to provide dogs and cats susceptible to urinary crystals a wet diet and we offer some guidance in our article How to Feed Your Dog.
