Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Why does my dog need K9-Rx?
A. Because proper nutrition plays an important role in the health and longevity of every family member, including your pet companion.
Q. Should I supplement my current dog food with K9-Rx?
A. Yes. K9-Rx is most often used to supplement regular dog food in order to provide additional high quality protein, essential fats, vitamins and minerals, and important nutrients like creatine, glucosamine and chondroitin, MSM, lutein, L-carnitine and taurine.
Q. I feed my dog super premium dog food. Does he still need K9-Rx?
A. Don't confuse "premium" with "complete." Super premium is made primarily the same way as regular dog food, and still lacks the comprehensive nutritional profile, control and flexibility advantages afforded by K9-Rx.
Q. Can I feed my dog K9-Rx if she has allergy problems?
A. Always check with your vet before changing your dog's diet. Allergies are often caused by beef protein. K9-Rx is based on milk protein, and many dogs with skin and other types of allergies have had great success.
Q. What does "crude protein" on my dog food label actually mean?
A. "Crude" is a catch-all term for anything left on the slaughterhouse floor — or worse. With crude ingredients you never really know what's in your dog's food.
Q. What's the difference between food-grade and feed-grade?
A. "Feed-grade" designates food that is unfit for human consumption — the vast majority of traditional dog foods fit this category. K9-Rx uses food-grade ingredients, meaning they are fit for human consumption.
Q. Do I still feed my dog his regular food, in the same amount?
A. Yes — K9-Rx is a complete, nutrient-dense supplement to regular food. Add it to any meal, following the Feeding Guidelines.
Q. Can my puppy benefit from K9-Rx?
A. In the appropriate serving, K9-Rx is a terrific way to help start your puppy on a long and healthy life.
Q. Is it safe to feed my aging dog K9-Rx?
A. Yes. In most cases it will help keep your dog strong and healthy. As always, if your dog has a specific health problem we recommend you check with your vet before supplementing with K9-Rx.
Q. Can I eat K9-Rx myself?
A. It's possible, although cheese-flavored nutritional supplements aren't very popular with humans! Unlike traditional dog food, K9-Rx is food-grade, not feed-grade.
