Vetoquinol Zylkene

What is Zylkene?

Zylkene is a dietary supplement designed to reduce stress in dogs and cats. For many pets, unfamiliar situations trigger stress, which manifests as unwanted behaviors and health problems. Adding Zylkene can reduce the stress your dog or cat experiences and thus prevent negative effects.

Zylkene has the same calming effect on your pet as a mother’s milk does on puppies and kittens. As the milk protein casein is digested, calming substances are released, causing the animal to naturally relax and feel safe and secure when near its mother. As a casein-based dietary supplement, Zylkene evokes the same basic sense of relaxation and security, helping both dogs and cats to experience unfamiliar situations—which would normally trigger a stress response—more calmly and process them more gently.

For which animals is Zylkene suitable, and in what situations?

The Zylkene dietary supplement is suitable for dogs and cats that suffer from stressful situations and behavioral disorders. These include:

• Fear of fireworks
• Noise desensitization
• Problems in a multi-cat household
• Urine marking
• New additions to the family
• Moving
• Stays at an animal shelter
• Separation from or loss of a companion cat or human
• Visits to the vet
• Hospitalization

How is Zylkene used?

Ideally, Zylkene should be administered before a potentially stressful situation arises for your dog or cat. It is given orally. You can administer Zylkene capsules directly. Alternatively, you can open the capsules and mix the powder into their food. In this case, the entire recommended daily dose should be added to a single meal. Zylkene Chews are a good option as a treat.

What should you keep in mind when supplementing with Zylkene?

In addition to supplementing with Zylkene, you should make every effort to defuse stressful situations for your pet from the outset. Create an optimal environment in advance where your pet feels safe, and avoid additional stress for your pet whenever possible.

Stay calm and patient. This will give your cat or dog the reassurance they need for a successful learning and coping process. Give your pet time to get used to new circumstances or stressful situations.

Zylkene supports your pet in this process and is suitable for both short- and long-term use—tailored entirely to the needs of your dog or cat.
