What is the effect of Zylkene?

Zylkene is a complementary nutritional supplement that helps dogs and cats relax during stressful situations, such as fireworks, travelling, moving house or visiting the vet. It contains alpha-casozepine, a natural milk protein that has a calming effect without making your pet drowsy. It is 100% natural and safe for long-term use.

Zylkene and fireworks

Fireworks may be one of most stressful things to an animal. When this is true for your pet, it’s wise to start him on Zylkene a few days before New Year’s Eve or Bonfire Night. Giving a higher dose to achieve the wanted result is no problem. 

Zylkene for persistent behavioural problems

Constant exposure to stressful situations can cause (permanent) behavioural problems, such as eating disorders or digestive problems, relieving or peeing in the house, anxiety, aggressiveness or stereotypical behaviours (licking, self-mutilation, spinning etc.). Zylkene can also be used effectively in these situations for long-term support.

Zylkene dosage

What is the dosage of Zylkene for dogs?
