What are some good sources of these? I'm doing alot of research on homemade diets so that I can be ready when I move out and make these for my dogs.

The only calcium sources I can think of are dairy products, egg shells and bones. I can't feed many dairy products, and I'm not feeding bones.

I have no clue where to find phosphorus.

Anyone know? :confused:
