Zeolite Dosage for Dogs: Simply Explained
Take your dog's daily food amount and add 0.5% zeolite as a feed additive. If you use it as a course, you can increase the dose slightly, but to a maximum of 1% of the food amount. We also have to write this on the labels. Please do not be confused. The food authority in Austria is very precise about this, and we want to do everything correctly.
So that you don't have to calculate it yourself, and summarized once again, briefly and concisely, for those of us who like to have everything at a glance:
🐾 Dosage Table: Steinkraft Zeolite for Dogs
| Dog's body weight |
Daily Food amount |
Recommended Zeolite amount |
|---|---|---|

1. So, if your dog weighs 5kg, it probably eats between 200-400g. Depending on. Then you add 1-2g homogeneously to the dog food.
2. If your darling weighs 10kg, it eats 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 of zeolite mixed well into the food.
Our dog weighs 24kg and eats 800g (and some treats) and about half a large scoop of zeolite daily mixed into his food. Up to the line in the middle of the scoop is 5g.
4. If your dog eats between 1kg-1.5kg - meaning the dog weighs 30kg → then you can add at least 5-7g to the food.
★ In our 250g zeolite can, a small measuring spoon is included. It holds 3.5g when leveled. This daily zeolite dose costs 21 cents, or EUR 0.21.

PLEASE NOTE: Other zeolite products on the market are coarser, often not optimally ground, and therefore require a higher dosage. DOGKRAFT Zeolite for dogs has an average particle size of 14 microns. This means this zeolite has a really large effective surface area. The result is that you can dose more sparingly, making it more sustainable. This means you need less and also save money, helping to use the Earth's resources responsibly.
Gradual Introduction for Optimal Tolerance
Especially for sensitive dogs, it is advisable to introduce the daily amount gradually.
Start with half the recommended daily amount for the first 5–7 days and then gradually increase it 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: Sufficient Water Intake
For zeolite to optimally unfold its physical binding capacity, your dog should always have access to fresh drinking water. Especially on warm days or during increased physical activity, fluid intake is crucial.

For Steinkraft Zeolite to optimally unleash its supportive properties in the digestive tract, correct dosage is crucial. Here, we answer the most common questions regarding its application – 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 daily food intake. As a general guideline: 0.5% Steinkraft Zeolite of the daily food amount, mixed into the food. The exact amount can be slightly adjusted depending on food quality, activity level, and the goal of application. But a maximum of 1%.
❓2. Should I start with a small amount?
Yes, a slow introduction is recommended. It's best to start with about half of the intended daily amount and gradually increase it to the desired dosage over 5–7 days. This gives your dog's digestive system time to adapt to the support provided by Steinkraft Zeolite.
❓3. Do I need to ensure sufficient water intake?
Absolutely. Steinkraft Zeolite optimally unfolds its physical binding capacity when the body has sufficient fluid 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 diet changes, during shedding, with high physical exertion, or with known stressors in everyday life (e.g., city dogs, environmental pollution). In case of diarrhea, after deworming, medication, vaccinations,... In these phases, Steinkraft Zeolite can specifically support the quality of food absorption and digestive function.
❓5. Can I feed Steinkraft Zeolite permanently?

In the next section, learn how to easily integrate Steinkraft Zeolite into your dog's daily routine – whether with wet or dry food.
Application of Steinkraft Zeolite in a Dog's Everyday Life
Zeolite can be easily integrated into your dog's daily feeding routine. To ensure your four-legged friend benefits optimally from the physical effect of tribomechanically activated zeolite, there are some practical tips for its application.
★ Wet food or dry food – how to mix it in
Steinkraft Zeolite can be mixed with both wet and dry food. With wet food, the fine powder can be stirred in particularly easily. If dry food is fed, it is advisable to moisten the food slightly. This way, the zeolite adheres better and is absorbed more evenly.
IMPORTANT: Ensure your dog always has access to fresh drinking water to optimally support the effect of zeolite. Zeolite can also absorb water and should not lead to constipation.
★ The right time to add it to the bowl
Steinkraft Zeolite is best given with the main meal. This way, the powder passes naturally through the digestive tract and can unfold its physical binding capacity at the right moment.
★ Multiple 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 used evenly, and digestion is further relieved.
★ Course - how often and when and for how long
Ideally, a course twice a year for 6-8 weeks during shedding. The dog's body has a lot to process then, so support is very helpful.
★ Combination with other supplements – what to consider
Steinkraft Zeolite works purely physically and can be combined with many supplements. However, make sure to give mineral-containing preparations such as mineral mixtures, vitamin supplements, or oils with a time interval of about two hours. This prevents desired nutrients in the feed from also being bound.
★ If the dog does not immediately accept the powder
Some dogs are very sensitive to new feed 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 some broth or kefir and drizzle it over the food,
🐾 lightly moisten the food so that the taste of the zeolite is less noticeable,
🐾 gradually 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 their daily feeding routine in the long term.
Q&A on the Application of Steinkraft Zeolite in Dogs

❓When is the best time to give zeolite?
Ideally, it should be administered with the main meal so that Steinkraft Zeolite can exert its effect in the digestive tract.
❓Can I split the daily amount of zeolite?
Yes, especially with higher dosages or sensitive dogs, it makes sense to divide the amount into two meals.
❓What should I consider with other supplements?
Mineral-rich supplements should be given with an interval of about two hours so that Steinkraft Zeolite can work effectively.

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 covering anything up. 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)
"After every vaccination, Milo was weak. I wanted to prevent rather than react afterwards. Zeolite gave me the feeling of taking responsibility – not acting too late. Today, I give it to him in courses in spring and autumn, and Milo is as stable and cheerful as ever." ★★★★★
💬 I wanted to live sustainably, even in the food 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 doing something good for the Earth at the same time." ★★★★★
