1. So, if your dog weighs 5kg , he probably eats between 200-400g , depending. Then you mix 1-2g of the product into his dog food.
2. If your pet weighs 10kg and eats 400-600g , then you can optimize the dog food by adding 2-3g .
3. If you feed 600-1000g , then your dog probably weighs around 20kg → mix 3-5g of zeolite well into the food.
Our dog weighs 24kg and eats 800g (plus some treats) and adds just under half a large scoop of zeolite to his food daily. The line in the middle of the scoop represents 5g.
4. If your dog eats between 1kg and 1.5kg - and the dog weighs 30kg → then you can add at least 5-7g to the food.

★ The large 450g zeolite container comes with a larger measuring spoon: it holds approximately 9g. It has a line in the middle, making it easy to measure out 4g. That's 30 cents, EUR 0.3 per day.

This means you need less, save money, and help use our planet's resources responsibly.
Slow introduction for optimal tolerability
Especially with sensitive dogs, it is recommended to gradually increase the daily amount.
Start with half the recommended daily amount for the first 5-7 days, then gradually increase to the full dosage.
This gives your dog's digestive tract the opportunity to gently get used to the supportive effect of Steinkraft Zeolite.
IMPORTANT: Adequate water intake
For zeolite to optimally develop its physical binding capacity, your dog should have access to fresh drinking water at all times. Adequate hydration is especially crucial on warm days or during periods of increased physical activity.

Dosage of Steinkraft Zeolite: Clarity for everyday life

❓1. How do I find the right dosage for my dog?
The dosage of Steinkraft Zeolite depends on the dog's daily food ration. As a general guideline: 0.5% Steinkraft Zeolite of the daily food ration , mixed into the food. The exact amount can be easily adjusted depending on the food quality, activity level, and intended use. However, the maximum dosage should not exceed 1%.
❓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 works best when the body has sufficient fluids available. Make sure your dog always has access to fresh drinking water, especially in warm temperatures or during increased physical activity.
❓4. Are there times when Steinkraft Zeolite is particularly useful?
Yes, especially during dietary changes, shedding season, periods of high physical exertion, or known stressors in daily life (e.g., city dogs, environmental pollution). It can also be beneficial during diarrhea, after deworming, medication, vaccinations, etc. In these phases, Steinkraft Zeolite can specifically support the quality of food intake and digestive function.
5. Can I feed Steinkraft Zeolite continuously?
Yes, Steinkraft Zeolite can be used in dogs over extended periods. It is a purely physical additive for optimizing feed, which does not burden the body and completely deactivates itself after binding substances.

Our canine companions face many internal challenges during this time.
In the next section, you will learn how you can easily integrate Steinkraft Zeolite into your dog's everyday life – whether with wet or dry food.
Application of Steinkraft Zeolite in everyday dog care
Zeolite can be easily integrated into your dog's daily feeding routine. To ensure your four-legged friend optimally benefits from the physical effects of tribomechanically activated zeolite, here are some practical tips for its use.
★ Wet food or dry food – how to mix it in
Steinkraft Zeolite can be mixed into both wet and dry food. The fine powder is particularly easy to stir into wet food. When feeding dry food, it is recommended to moisten the food slightly. This helps the zeolite adhere better and ensures more even absorption.
IMPORTANT: Make sure your dog always has access to fresh drinking water to optimally support the effects of zeolite. Zeolite can also absorb water and is not supposed to cause constipation.
★ The right time to feed from the bowl
Steinkraft Zeolite is best taken with the main meal. This way, the powder passes through the digestive tract naturally and can exert its physical binding capacity at the right moment.
★ Multiple portions a day – when it makes sense
Especially with higher doses or sensitive dogs, it can be beneficial to divide the daily amount into two meals. This ensures that the binding capacity is used evenly and further relieves the digestive system.
★ Treatment - how often, when and for how long
Ideally, a treatment course of 6-8 weeks twice a year is recommended during shedding season. The dog's body has a lot to process during this time, so extra support is very beneficial.
★ Combination with other supplements – what you should pay attention to
Steinkraft Zeolite works purely physically and can be combined with many supplements. However, be sure to administer mineral-containing preparations such as mineral mixtures, vitamin supplements, or oils with a time interval of approximately two hours. This prevents the desired nutrients in the feed from also being bound.
★ 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:
🐾 significantly reduce the starting amount and stir in only a pinch,
🐾 Dissolve Steinkraft Zeolite briefly in a little broth or kefir and drizzle over the food,
🐾 Lightly moisten the food so that the taste of the zeolite is less noticeable,
🐾 Slowly increase the dose as acceptance improves - start with half the dose for 5 days and then increase the dose.
IMPORTANT: Give your dog time. A stress-free introduction is the best way to successfully integrate Steinkraft Zeolite into your dog's daily feeding routine in the long term.
Q&A on the use of Steinkraft Zeolite in dogs
❓How do I administer Steinkraft Zeolite – with wet or dry food?
Both are possible. For dry food, the food should be slightly moistened so that the zeolite adheres better. For wet food, mix it in thoroughly.
❓When is the best time to administer zeolite?
Ideally, it should be administered with the main meal so that Steinkraft Zeolite can take effect in the digestive tract.
❓Can I divide the daily amount of zeolite?
Yes, especially with higher doses or sensitive dogs, it makes sense to divide the amount into two meals.
❓What do I need to consider with other supplements?
Mineral-rich supplements should be given approximately two hours apart so that Steinkraft Zeolite can work effectively.

Customer testimonials on the use of zeolite
💬 My dog taught me to look – not to look away.
Sabine with her dog Kira (Border Collie)

I add it to her food every day, and I know I'm doing something good for her. It's become our little morning ritual." ★★★★★
