Zylkene 450mg

ZYLKENE 450MG CAPSULE 30'S

Zylkene is a natural product that helps to manage stress, fear and anxiety in dogs and cats. Zylkene 450mg Capsules are for dogs weighing over 20kg.

Most pets are stressed by changes to their routine or environment. This includes big changes such as moving house or the arrival of a new baby, but even small events such as rearranging the furniture can stress some pets. Common causes of stress in pets include:

• A stay at even the best kennel or cattery
• Moving house
• Sudden noises e.g. fireworks, thunder and lightning
• New arrival in the home e.g. new baby, new pet
• New cat moving into outdoor territory
• Being left at home alone
• Vet or groomer visits
• Travel e.g. trips in the car
• Multi-cat environment (indoor or outside territory)
• Festive periods

Dogs and cats can show stress through changes in their behaviour. Each pet will react to a situation in a different way, but common signs include:

• Changed demeanour e.g. altered posture, large pupils, tense muscles
• Altered sleeping/resting patterns
• Changed use of environment e.g. stops going into garden
• Habits such as excessive licking
• Excessive vocalisation
• Changed resting places e.g. top of the wardrobe instead of the bed
• Reduced play
• Increased or decreased attachment to people or other pets
• Increased or decreased social interaction
• House soiling

Benefits of Zylkene

• Natural; derived from casein, the protein in milk.
• Easy to give.
• Given once daily.
• Suitable for many pets.
• Manufactured to human pharmaceutical standards (GMP).

Directions

• Dogs 20-40kg: 1 capsule a day.
• Dogs over 40kg: 2 capsules a day.

Zylkène only needs to be administered once daily and is very easy to give. Simply open the capsule and mix the palatable powder with your pet's usual food or a favourite treat. The powder is water soluble so easily mixes with liquids.

Start supplementation with Zylkene 1-2 days before required, so before fireworks season begins or prior to a kennel or cattery stay. However, our pets are often very clever at associating 'cues' with consequences. For example your dog or cat may learn that seeing you pack a suitcase leads to a stay in the kennel or cattery. In this situation, ideally Zylkene would be started the day before the suitcase appeared. Zylkene can also be fed for 1-2 months for longer-term scenarios.
