Overview
This product is worth flagging clearly: it's a calcium powder made from fine eggshell for dogs and cats, sold under the Pet's Friend brand, and it has no place in a human vitamin routine. It shows up alongside human calcium listings because of shared keywords, but the label, dosing, and intended use are all built around pets.
The powder comes in an unflavored 6-ounce bag and is marketed by the maker toward joint health and heart health support in pets. As with any pet supplement, changes to a dog's or cat's diet are best discussed with a veterinarian first, particularly for animals with existing health conditions.
Feedback sits at 1,100 reviews and a 4.4 average rating, with about 2,000 units bought in the past month, indicating a reasonably active audience among pet owners specifically.

Frequently asked questions
Is this safe for humans to take?
No. This product is formulated, labeled, and dosed for dogs and cats. It isn't intended as a human dietary supplement, and it appears in this listing only because it shares category keywords with human calcium products.
Should I ask a veterinarian before giving this to my pet?
Yes, it's a good idea to talk to a veterinarian before adding any new supplement to a pet's diet, especially for animals with existing health conditions or that are on medication.
Does it contain any known allergens?
The label lists egg as a source, since the product is made from eggshell, which is worth noting if your pet has a known egg sensitivity.
