Although maintenance of dogs including simple and not difficult, there are still many dogs that are kept less healthy, even sickly skinny so it felt less maintenance dog groomed.

To be able to grow with both the pet dog requires a diet and contain protein, vitamins and minerals. Elements of nutritional deficiencies in your diet will certainly lead to rapid dogs suffering from pain and abnormalities in development.

This time the extent to which this paper peeling role in the development of mineral dogs, and what happens if the dogs or that we keep in the house had a mineral deficiency.

Because the minerals in the food an absolute must have, especially at certain times of increased need, such as infancy, pregnancy and when breastfeeding her parents.

Well, if the mineral elements in the diet is given less then consequently the growth of the dog becomes distracted, the dog had dwarfism, abnormal bone growth or bent, even a dog can have permanent paralysis.

Based on the function, the minerals can be divided into 2 types, namely:
1. Macro-minerals. This mineral functions as a state of acid-base balance, regulating body fluids and affect the permeability of the cell membrane causes antarintrasel and extracellular potential difference, so biolistrik processes running smoothly. Included in the macro-minerals are: Ca, P, Na, and Cl.
2. Micro-minerals (trace minerals), so called because of the amount required to be expressed in ppm (percent per million). This micro-mineral functions as a trigger and the development of substances such as enzyme reactions, iodine for thyroid hormone, in the context of the formation of hemoglobin Fe, Co (Cobalt) for the formation of vitamin B 12, and others.

Macro and micro minerals are bound to one another in a configuration such that the presence of minerals that may affect the presence of other minerals. For example, it would eliminate the increased Ca P (phosphorus). Often this is because most of the minerals Ca would cause skeletal malformations in the bones like Osteochondroitis Dessicans (OCD), spondylo-Cervical myelopathy, and hip dysplasia.

The addition of Ca would also disrupt the balance of other minerals, namely P, Zn, Fe, Cu and Ca which can menyebabkangastric bloat.
Mineral Mg (magnesium) is important in the diet of adult animals, because Mg alleged role in causing disease on lower urinary apparatus. Excess Mg and urine acid-base state suspected as a trigger formation of struvite urolithiasis (magnesium ammonium phosphate).

Minerals are essential and required by dogs is:
1. Calcium
2. Phosphorous (P)
3. Copper (Cuprum) or Cu
