Frequently Asked Questions

To help you with questions you may have about Dr. Kruger's all natural dog and cat food supplements, we have compiled the most common questions that people have submitted.  If you do not find the answer to your question here, please feel free to submit your question to us at info@pethealthinstitute.com

Q:  At what age do you recommend starting a pet on the Dr. Kruger’s dog food supplement formulas?
A:  Any pet that's eating soft or hard food is a candidate for the supplement formulas.  From small weanling puppies to geriatric dogs — they'll all benefit!

Q:  Do pets readily eat it, or will I have to mix special food with it?
A:  Judging from their eager behavior at feeding time, pets love the taste. Just mix the supplement with their regular food and watch them lap it up. But remember, nothing is 100% — so if your pet is one of the very few who do not care for the taste, simply mix the powder in a ball of liverwurst — he'll eat it.

Q:  Do your pet food supplement formulas enhance the functioning of the immune system?
A:  Yes, they certainly do. The overall health of your pet will be greatly improved, which means fewer visits to the vet. 

Q:  Should I expect to see any change in my pet's activity level?
A:  Most pets become happier and are able to adjust more easily to stressful situations such as travel, work, etc.

Q:  Do the food supplement formulas change the amount and size of the stool?
A:  Dr. Kruger’s supplement formulas encourages more complete digestion of food, and therefore pets who take it should produce a reduced amount of stool. Also, the size of the individual dropping will be reduced. Many pet owners tell us that once their pets have started taking a Dr. Kruger supplement, they don't seem to require as much food. This is because the supplement allows pets to digest their food more completely and it enhances the absorption of nutrients through the intestinal wall.

Q:  What is the first change I can expect to see in my pet?
A:  Your pet's coat will begin to have the best possible texture. A pet's general health can usually be judged by the nature and health of the coat.

Q:  Will the supplement help my pet's appetite? 
A:  If your pet has been a problem eater, you will probably find that the supplement stimulates his appetite. Pets really love the taste of this product. However, once again, if your pet is a finicky eater and won't take the supplement in his food, disguise the powder in a ball of liverwurst.

Q:  How long will it take before I see results with the Dr. Kruger’s food supplement formulas?
A:  All supplements need at least a three-month trial period before showing results. However, many pet owners have told us they could see coat changes in their pets within three weeks of feeding them a formula.

Q:  What are some of the positive signs I should notice when I start giving my pet the supplement?
A:  Stools should firm up. Pets with oily skin should stop producing so much oil. Pet odor will be reduced. Pet odor is the result of bacteria growing on skin oil. Your pet will be less flatulent, and that will make everyone's life more pleasant. Also, your pet will have better smelling breath.

Q:  Should I give any other supplements with Dr. Kruger products?
A:  No, our supplements do it all!

Q:  Do you offer different formulas that may be better suited to specific purposes?
A:  Yes, we currently produce seven different formulations.  Six for dogs and one for cats.  Additional information on each of these formulas can be found on our Products page.
