Too much calcium in large breed growing puppies is highly problematic. This can lead to serious bone defects and diseases processes including possible Hypertrophic Osteodrystrophy (HOD). I would highly recommend refraining from calcium milk bones at this frequency and perhaps only giving them 2-3 times a week, instead of everyday, just to ensure you aren't giving them in excess. Also remember that snacks should only make up about 10% of your pets total caloric intake per day to avoid obesity. Good luck taking care of your pup Ghontu.
