How to Use Mighty K9: Measuring, Mixing and Storing the 2 mL Serving
Give 2 mL once a day, mixed into one meal. That is two full droppers, about 0.4 teaspoon. Drizzle it over the food, stir, and serve. Do not double up after a missed day. Keep the cap tight and the bottle somewhere cool and dark. For puppies under six months or toy breeds, ask your vet first.

The serving
How much Mighty K9 should I give my dog?
The serving is 2 mL once a day, mixed into food. The brand's product page puts it as "Daily Serving: 2 mL (approx. 0.4 tsp / ~16 kcal)" (Mighty-K9, product page).
The bottle holds 2 fl oz (60 mL), which is 30 servings. So one bottle lasts one dog 30 days. The brand's serving calculator counts 1 mL per full dropper. Two full droppers make one serving.
The calculator lists dog sizes but no amount for each size, so we will not guess one. Your vet can say if a small dog needs less.
| Amount | 2 mL once daily |
|---|---|
| Droppers | 2 full droppers (1 mL each, per the brand's calculator) |
| Kitchen measure | About 0.4 teaspoon |
| ESS60 per serving | 1.6 mg |
| Calories per serving | 16.2 kcal, all from fat |
| How to give it | Measure 2 mL and drizzle directly over your dog's meal. Mix into food. |
| Dose by weight | Not published |
Four steps
How do you give Mighty K9 day to day?
Measure, drizzle, mix, then watch for 30 days. Scroll through each step.
- 01
Measure 2 mL
Fill the dropper twice (about 0.4 teaspoon). That is one serving, per the label.
- 02
Drizzle on the meal
Drip it over kibble or wet food. The bacon flavor helps picky eaters take it.
- 03
Mix it in
Stir so it coats the food. Give it at the same meal every day.
- 04
Track 30 days
Note stairs, getting up and walks. Decide before the 30-day window closes.
The money-back window is 30 days. See the results timeline for what to note each week.
Measuring
How do I measure 2 mL with the Mighty K9 dropper?
Fill the dropper twice and empty it onto the food each time. Here is the same thing, slower.
Check the bottle
Before the first use, check the seal. The oil should smell of olive oil and bacon, not sour.
Fill the dropper once
Squeeze the bulb, dip the dropper, and let go. A full dropper holds about 1 mL, per the brand's serving calculator.
Empty it onto the food
Drip it over the meal, not into your dog's mouth. Oil squirted into the mouth can go down the wrong way.
Fill and empty again
The second full dropper brings the total to 2 mL. That is the whole daily serving on the label.
Mix and serve
Stir with a spoon so the oil coats the food. Close the cap tight.
Use a plastic oral syringe marked in mL from any pharmacy. Draw up 2 mL and push it onto the food.
Mixing
Can I mix Mighty K9 into wet food or dry kibble?
Yes, either works. What matters is that your dog eats the whole bowl, so the full 2 mL goes in.
| Food | How to add it | Watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Dry kibble | Drizzle over the top layer, then shake or stir the bowl | Oil can pool at the bottom of a steel bowl; stir well |
| Wet or canned food | Drip on and fold it in with a spoon | Very easy to hide; good for slow eaters |
| Fresh or home-cooked food | Mix in after cooking, not before | Light breaks down C60 oil; never cook with it |
What if my dog is a picky eater?
The bacon flavor is there to help. Start by mixing the 2 mL into a small portion of food, about a quarter of the meal. Once that is gone, serve the rest.
A dog that refuses food for a full day needs a vet.
Timing
What time of day should my dog get Mighty K9?
Any one meal works. Pick breakfast or dinner and keep it the same.
- Breakfast, about 7:30
Drizzle 2 mL over the morning meal and mix it in. One serving a day, per the label.
- Or dinner, about 6:30 pm
Evening works just as well. Pick one meal and keep it the same every day so you do not double up.
- Short, steady walks
Gentle daily exercise keeps joints moving and weight down. Lean weight matters most for arthritis.
- Count the calories
Each serving adds 16.2 kcal of fat. Trim treats a little so the daily total does not creep up.
The label and sales FAQ say once daily, mixed into food; the times are examples. Lean weight (ACVS, Osteoarthritis in Dogs); treat calories (WSAVA, Feeding treats).
The label says once daily and gives no best time. Several people feed your dog? Tape a note to the food bin.

Order nowSmall dogs and puppies
Is the Mighty K9 serving the same for small dogs and puppies?
The label gives one serving, 2 mL, for every dog. No smaller amount for toy breeds is published, so ask your vet before you change it. The sales FAQ says it suits all ages but to check with a vet first for puppies under six months.
Calories are the main reason to ask. WSAVA advises keeping treats and extras under 10% of daily calories, about 24 kcal a day for a 4 kg (9 lb) dog and 79 kcal for a 20 kg dog (WSAVA, Feeding treats). One serving uses 16.2 of those. Trim treats by the same amount, for example half a small biscuit, so the daily total stays put. Lean weight is the best thing you can do for your dog's joints.
- Toy and small dogs: bring the bottle to the vet and ask, "Is 2 mL right, or should we use less?"
- Puppies under six months: vet first, as the sales FAQ itself says.
- Dogs with a history of pancreatitis or on a low-fat diet: vet first. Each serving is pure fat, and dogs recovering from pancreatitis are kept on low-fat food (Merck Vet Manual, Pancreatitis (owner)).

Real life
What if I miss a day of Mighty K9, or we travel?
Skip the missed serving and carry on the next day. Never give two servings at once.
Just carry on
Give the normal 2 mL at the next usual meal. Doubling up adds 32.4 kcal of fat in one go, which can upset a sensitive stomach.
Pack it upright
Put the bottle in a zip bag inside a toiletry kit. Keep it out of a hot car and away from a sunny window.
Write it down
Leave a card: "2 droppers, breakfast only, mixed in." Show them the dropper once.
Storage
How should I store Mighty K9 so it stays fresh?
Keep it closed, cool and dark. The product page says "Store in a cool and dark place."
A 2021 mouse study found that C60 in olive oil broke down when exposed to light, and the light-exposed oil made mice ill (Grohn et al., 2021). Store the bottle in a cupboard, not on a sunny counter.
- Cap on tight after every use.
- Inside a cupboard or drawer, away from the stove.
- Out of reach of children and other pets: For canine use only. Keep out of reach of children and animals. In case of accidental overdose, contact a health professional immediately.
- Smells sour, like paint or old crayons? The oil may be rancid. Stop and check your bottle on batch verify.
FAQ
Mighty K9 dosing and use FAQ
How many droppers of Mighty K9 do I give my dog?
Give two full droppers a day. The brand's serving calculator counts 1 mL per full dropper, so two droppers make the 2 mL serving on the label. Fill it, empty it onto the food, and repeat once. An oral syringe marked in mL also works.
Can Mighty K9 go straight into my dog's mouth?
The brand's directions say to drizzle it over the meal and mix it in, so that is the safer way. Squirting oil into the back of the mouth can make a dog gag or breathe some in. Mixed into a meal, the full serving goes down with the food.
Can I give my dog 4 mL of Mighty K9 to see faster results?
No. The label serving is 2 mL once a day, and nobody has tested higher amounts in dogs. A double serving adds 32.4 kcal of pure fat, which can upset the stomach. If you feel your dog needs more help, book a vet visit instead of raising the amount.
Does Mighty K9 need to be refrigerated?
The product page says to store it in a cool, dark place and does not ask for a fridge. What matters most is darkness and a tight cap, because C60 in olive oil breaks down when it sits in light.
What do I do if my dog ate a lot of Mighty K9 at once?
Call your vet or ASPCA Animal Poison Control at (888) 426-4435, open 24/7; a fee may apply (ASPCA Animal Poison Control). A large amount of oil can cause vomiting or diarrhea and is a concern for dogs prone to pancreatitis. Have your dog's weight ready.
How long does one bottle of Mighty K9 last?
One bottle lasts one dog 30 days. It holds 60 mL, which is 30 servings of 2 mL. Two dogs on the full serving would finish it in 15 days. If yours runs out much faster than that, check that everyone is measuring two droppers, not squeezing extra.
