Dosage and application of Steinkraft Zeolite for dogs. A guide for dog lovers.

What is the correct dosage of zeolite for dogs? How much zeolite should dogs take?

In this blog post, we've provided a guide to the correct dosage of zeolite, this natural mineral for the well-being of our four-legged friends. It's so important to provide our dogs with the best possible care, and zeolite can play a valuable role in this as a food supplement to optimize their diet .

Our guide helps owners—as we call ourselves in Austria—determine the zeolite dosage based on their dog's weight and food intake . From small dogs to large breeds, we explain how much zeolite your dog needs to support their well-being.

We would also like to emphasize the importance of high-quality zeolite, such as DOGKRAFT Zeolite, with an optimal particle size for dogs for maximum effectiveness and sustainability.

The correct dosage of zeolite can help regulate digestion, promote skin and coat health, speed up wound healing, and much more. Our guide aims to help pet lovers make the best choices for their dogs' vitality, fitness, and well-being.

Learn how to safely and effectively incorporate zeolite into your dog's diet to help him live a long and happy life.

Zeolite dosage for dogs: simply explained

Our dosage guideline is: 0.2–0.4g of the feed . AGES, the Austrian Feed Safety Authority, stipulates that the dosage should not exceed 1%, i.e., a maximum of 1%. We also have to include this on the labels. It's a regulation. So don't be confused.

1. So, if your dog weighs 5 kg, he probably eats between 200-400 g, depending on the dog. Then you add 1-2 g evenly to the dog food.

2. If your dog eats 400-600g, then you can optimize the dog food with 2-3g.

3. Feed 600-1000g – that's what our dog gets. He weighs 24kg and eats 800g (plus a few treats), plus about half a large scoop of zeolite daily. (The line in the middle of the scoop is 5g, and that costs 30 cents a day.)

4. If your dog eats between 1kg-1.5kg, you can add at least 5-7g to the food.

Explained again differently:

The correct dosage of Steinkraft Zeolite ensures optimal use of its physical binding properties. The amount depends primarily on your dog's body weight.

How much Steinkraft zeolite does my dog ​​need?

The following dosage recommendation is used as a guide for daily feed optimization:

• up to 5 kg body weight → approx. 0.5 g per day

• 5–10 kg body weight → approx. 1 g per day

• 10–20 kg body weight → approx. 2 g per day

• 20–30 kg body weight → approx. 3 g per day

• 30–40 kg body weight → approx. 4 g per day

• over 40 kg body weight → approx. 5 g per day

These instructions are guidelines and can be easily adjusted depending on feeding, activity and individual constitution.

Our 250g can comes with a small scoop. It contains 3.5g when leveled. This daily dose of zeolite costs 21 cents, or €0.21.

The large 450g can has a larger measuring scoop: it holds approximately 9g. It has a line in the middle, making it easy to measure out 4g .

PLEASE NOTE : Other zeolite products on the market are coarser, and therefore a larger dosage is required. DOGKRAFT zeolite for dogs has an average particle size of 14 microns. Therefore, this zeolite has a truly large effective surface area . The result is that you can dose more sparingly, which is more sustainable. This means you need less, save money, and help use our planet's resources responsibly.

Slow introduction for optimal tolerability

Especially for sensitive dogs, it is recommended to gradually increase the daily amount.
Start with half the recommended daily amount for the first 5-7 days and then gradually increase to the full dosage.

This gives your dog's digestive tract the opportunity to gently get used to the supportive effects of Steinkraft Zeolite.

Important: Sufficient water intake

To ensure that zeolite can optimally develop its physical binding properties, your dog should have access to fresh drinking water at all times. Hydration is especially crucial on warm days or during periods of increased physical activity.

Q&A on the dosage of Steinkraft Zeolite for dogs

Dosage of Steinkraft Zeolite: Clarity for everyday life
For Steinkraft Zeolite to optimally develop its supportive properties in the digestive tract, the correct dosage is essential. Here we answer the most frequently asked questions about its use – for a safe and easy start.

1. How do I find the right dosage for my dog?
   

   
   The dosage of Steinkraft Zeolite depends on the dog's body weight. As a general guideline, approximately 0.5 g to 1 g of Steinkraft Zeolite per 5 kg of body weight daily, mixed into the food. The exact amount can be easily adjusted depending on the quality of the food, activity level, and intended use.

2. Should I start with a small amount?

Yes, a gradual introduction is recommended. It's best to start with about half the recommended daily amount and increase it to the desired dosage within 5–7 days. This gives your dog's digestive system time to adjust to the support provided by Steinkraft Zeolite.

3. Do I need to ensure I drink enough water?

Absolutely. Steinkraft Zeolite develops its physical binding properties optimally when the body has sufficient fluids available. Make sure your dog has access to fresh drinking water at all times, especially in warm temperatures or during periods of increased physical activity.

4. Are there times when Steinkraft Zeolite is particularly useful?

Yes, especially during diet changes, during shedding, during periods of high physical exertion, or during known sources of everyday stress (e.g., city dogs, environmental pollution). In cases of diarrhea, after deworming, medication, vaccinations, etc. During these phases, Steinkraft Zeolite can specifically support the quality of food intake and digestive function.

5. Can I feed Steinkraft Zeolite permanently?

Yes, Steinkraft Zeolite can be used in dogs even over longer periods. It is a purely physical additive for feed optimization that does not burden the body and is completely deactivated once the substances have been bound. Many pet owners opt for a continuous, low dosage or for targeted treatments several times a year. A spring detox never hurts. Our canine friends face many internal challenges here.

In the next section, learn how you can easily integrate Steinkraft Zeolite into your dog's daily routine – whether with wet or dry food.

Use of Steinkraft Zeolite in everyday dog ​​life

Steinkraft Zeolite can be easily integrated into your dog's daily feeding routine. To ensure your four-legged friend benefits optimally from the physical effects of the tribomechanically activated zeolite, here are some practical tips for use.

Wet food or dry food – this is how the addition works

Steinkraft Zeolite can be mixed with both wet and dry food. The fine powder is particularly easy to mix into wet food. When feeding dry food, it is recommended to moisten the food slightly. This helps the zeolite adhere better and is more evenly absorbed.

The right time to give in the bowl

Steinkraft Zeolite is best administered with a main meal. This allows the powder to pass naturally through the digestive tract and develop its physical binding properties at the right time.

Several portions a day – when it makes sense

Especially with higher dosages or sensitive dogs, it can be beneficial to divide the daily amount into two meals. This ensures even use of the binding capacity and also reduces the burden on digestion.

Combination with other supplements – what you should pay attention to

Steinkraft Zeolite is purely physical and can be combined with many supplements. However, be sure to give mineral-containing supplements such as mineral blends, vitamin supplements, or oils about two hours apart. This prevents the desired nutrients from also being bound in the feed.

If the dog does not accept the powder immediately

Some dogs are very sensitive to new food additives. If your dog initially rejects the powder, you can:

• reduce the starting amount significantly and stir in only a pinch,

• Mix the powder with some wet food or a small portion of your pet’s favorite food,

• Briefly dissolve Steinkraft Zeolite in some broth or kefir and drizzle over the food,

• moisten the food slightly so that the taste of the zeolite is less noticeable,

• slowly increase the dose as acceptance improves.

Important: Give your dog time. A stress-free introduction is the best way to successfully integrate Steinkraft Zeolite into your daily feeding routine over the long term.
