Zeolite Dosage for Dogs: Simply Explained

We also have to write this on the labels. Please don't be confused. The feed authority in Austria is very strict, and we want to do everything correctly.
So that you don't have to calculate yourself, and summarized very briefly and concisely for those among us who like to have everything at a glance:
Dosage Table: Steinkraft Zeolite for Dogs
Note: The recommended DOGKRAFT Zeolite amount corresponds to about 0.5% of the daily food amount. The legally permitted maximum amount is 1% of the food ration.
Examples:
1. So, if your dog weighs 5kg, they probably eat between 200-400g. Depending on the dog. Then you add 1-2g homogeneously mixed into the dog food.
2. If your darling weighs 10kg, they probably eat 400-600g → then you optimize the dog food with 2-3g.

3. If you feed 600-1000g, then your dog probably weighs around 20kg → 3-5g zeolite well mixed into the food.
4. If your dog eats between 1kg-1.5kg - then the dog might weigh about 30kg → then you can add 5-7g to the food.
★ Our 250g DOGKRAFT Zeolite can comes with a small measuring spoon. It holds 4g of this fine powder when leveled.
★ The large 450g DOGKRAFT Zeolite can contains a larger measuring spoon: this holds approx. 12g. It has a line in the middle, so you can easily dose 6g.
IMPORTANT TO NOTE: Conventional zeolite products on the market are coarser, usually not optimally ground, and therefore require higher dosages. DOGKRAFT Zeolite for dogs has an average particle size of 14 microns. This means this zeolite has a truly large active surface area. As a result, you can dose more sparingly, making it more sustainable. This means you need less, save money, and help use our earth's resources responsibly.
Slow Introduction for Optimal Tolerance
Especially for sensitive dogs, it is advisable to introduce the daily amount gradually.
Start with half of 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 adjust to the supportive effect of Steinkraft Zeolite.
IMPORTANT: Adequate Water Intake
For zeolite to optimally unfold its physical binding capacity, your dog should always have access to drinking water. Especially on warm days or during increased physical activity, fluid intake is crucial.
Questions & Answers about the Dosage of Dogkraft Zeolite for Dogs
Dosage of Steinkraft Zeolite: Clarity for Everyday Use
For Dogkraft Zeolite to optimally unfold its supportive properties in the digestive tract, correct dosing is important. Here we answer the most frequently asked questions about its application – for a safe and easy start.
❓1. How do I find the right dosage for my dog?
The dosage of Dogkraft Zeolite depends on the dog's daily food intake. As a general guideline: mix 0.5% Dogkraft Zeolite of the daily food amount into the food. The exact amount can be slightly adjusted depending on the food quality, activity level, and the goal of the application. But a maximum of 1%.
❓2. Should I start with a small amount?
Yes, a gradual adjustment is recommended. It's best to start with about half of the intended daily amount and increase it gradually over 5–7 days to the desired dosage. This gives your dog's digestive system time to adapt to the support from Dogkraft Zeolite.
❓3. Do I need to ensure sufficient water intake?
Yes. Dogkraft Zeolite optimally unfolds its physical binding performance when the body has sufficient fluid available. Make sure your dog always has access to drinking water, especially in warm temperatures or during increased physical activity.
❓4. Are there times when Dogkraft Zeolite is particularly useful?
Yes, especially during food changes, during shedding, during high physical exertion or when there are known stressors in everyday life (e.g., city dogs, environmental pollution). For diarrhea, after deworming, medication, vaccinations,... In these phases, Steinkraft Zeolite can specifically support the quality of food intake and digestive function.
❓5. Can I feed Dogkraft Zeolite permanently?
Yes, Dogkraft Zeolite can be used in dogs over longer periods. It is a purely physical feed additive that optimizes feed, does not strain the body, and is completely excreted after binding substances. Many pet owners opt for continuous, low-dose administration or targeted, several-times-a-year treatment courses. A spring detox course never hurts. Our canine friends face many internal challenges at this time.
Learn in the next section how you can easily integrate Dogkraft Zeolite into your dog's daily life – whether with wet or dry food.
Application of Dogkraft Zeolite in a dog's daily routine
Zeolite can be easily integrated into your dog's daily feeding routine. For your four-legged friend to benefit optimally from the physical effect of tribomechanically activated zeolite, here are some practical tips for its application.
★ Wet food or dry food – how to mix it in
Dogkraft Zeolite can be mixed into both wet and dry food. With wet food, the fine powder can be stirred in particularly easily. If feeding dry food, it is advisable to slightly moisten the food. This way, the zeolite powder adheres better and is absorbed more evenly.
IMPORTANT: Ensure your dog always has access to drinking water to optimally support the effect of zeolite. Zeolite can also absorb water and should not lead to constipation.
★ The right time for administration in the bowl
Dogkraft Zeolite is best administered with the main meal. In this way, the powder passes naturally through the digestive tract and can exert its physical binding capacity at the right moment.
★ Several portions a day – when it makes sense
Especially with higher dosages or sensitive dogs, it can be advantageous to divide the daily amount into two meals. This way, the binding capacity is utilized evenly, and digestion is additionally relieved.
★ Treatment course - how often and when and for how long
Ideally, a 6-8 week course twice a year during shedding. The dog's body has a lot to process here.
★ Combination with other supplements – what to consider
Dogkraft Zeolite is purely physically active and can be combined with many supplements. However, make sure to administer mineral-containing preparations, such as mineral mixes, vitamin supplements, or oils, with a time interval of about two hours. This prevents desired nutrients in the food from being bound as well.
★ If the dog does not immediately accept the powder
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 just a pinch,
🐾 dissolve Dogkraft Zeolite briefly in some broth or kefir and drizzle it over the food,
🐾 slightly 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 Dogkraft Zeolite into their daily feeding routine long-term.
Questions & Answers on the application of Dogkraft Zeolite for dogs
❓ Can I use Steinkraft Zeolite with BARF feeding?
Yes, zeolite can be easily mixed with raw meat or offal. Especially with BARF rations high in protein, zeolite can help bind excess ammonium in the intestine.
❓ What do I do if I forget to administer it one day?
No problem – just continue as normal the next day. A skipped dose does not need to be made up or doubled.
❓ Can I combine zeolite with treats or chew snacks?
Yes, this does not affect the effectiveness. The only important thing is that the daily zeolite amount is distributed over the main meal(s), not over snacks.
❓ Does the dosage change if my dog loses or gains weight?
Yes – the dosage depends on the current amount of food, not a fixed value. For significant weight changes, simply consult the table again.
❓ Can I dose zeolite on the go or during holidays just like at home?
Yes, the dosage remains the same. It's practical to take a small, pre-portioned amount with you so that the routine is not interrupted even when traveling. Especially when traveling, the intestines are more sensitive and need support.
❓How long can/should I give zeolite to my dog?
With correct dosage and sufficient drinking water, continuous administration is harmless – either continuously low-dosed or as a recurring course.
❓Is zeolite safe for my dog / are there risks with long-term use?
Yes, zeolite is also safe for permanent/long-term administration.
❓Can I feed too much zeolite - what happens then?
A significant overdose can lead to constipation, as zeolite also binds water – that's why the 1% upper limit and sufficient drinking water are important.
❓Can I also add zeolite to drinking water instead of food?
This is generally possible, but less reliably dosed than via food, as it is not certain how much water the dog actually drinks.
Please note: Zeolite is a feed optimizer and officially belongs in feed.

Customer reviews on the use of Zeolite
💬 My dog taught me to look – not to look away.
Sabine with her dog Kira (Border Collie)
"Kira always had a sensitive stomach. I eventually understood: her body shows me when something is too much. Zeolite was a way for me to help her without masking anything. I give it daily with her food, and I know – I'm doing her good. It has become our little morning ritual." ★★★★★
💬 I didn't want to wait until it got worse.
Patricia with Milo (French Bulldog)
"Milo was always sluggish after every vaccination. I wanted to prevent rather than react afterwards. Zeolite gave me the feeling of taking responsibility – not acting too late. Today, I give it in courses in spring and autumn, and Milo is stable and happy as ever." ★★★★★
💬 I wanted to live sustainability even in the bowl.
Lisa with male dog Taro (Setter)
"I pay attention to sustainability in everything – so I didn't want to make an exception with food. When I read that DOGKRAFT Zeolite is sparingly dosed and even conserves resources, that convinced me. It feels good to know that I'm helping my dog and also doing something good for the earth." ★★★★★
