Zylkene

Zylkene helps pets cope when facing unusual and unpredictable situations and can be used before occasions such as a change in their normal environment.

• Zylkene is a complimentary feed for cats and dogs that contains a natural product derived from casein, a protein in milk. It is a molecule well known to promote the relaxation of newborns after breastfeeding.
• Since its launch Zylkene has become a familiar product for veterinarians, behaviourists, nurses and pet owners world wide. 
• It can be given daily and is both preservative and lactose free. 

Why use Zylkene

• Zylkene can help support dogs and cats in situations where they find they need to adapt their behaviour to cope. These can include kennel and cattery stays, moving house, the arrival of a new pet or baby, sudden noises such as fireworks, travel or festivities.
• Many cats do not cope well in a multi-cat household. There are many ways our pets can respond to new and unpredictable situations and not all animals will respond the same way.
• Even the most seemingly innocuous situations and experiences can trigger your pet's uneasiness when they are in unusual or unpredictable situations. Different animals are not all susceptible to the same things, for example some dogs and the attention of many people at once whilst some react very differently, hiding away. Similarly, some cats love being picked up but others do not. 
• Even  the  most  seemingly  innocuous  situations  and experiences  can  trigger  pets’ discomfort when they  are  in  unusual  or  unpredictable  situations.
• The alpha casozepine in Zylkene®is made following best quality standards from the farming of the dairy cows to the casein hydrolysis manufacturing process, which complies with certifications ISO 9001 and ISO 22000.

Administration

• Zylkene comes in three strengths:

Zylkene Capsules 75mg (30 capsules)

Zylkene Capsules 225mg (30 capsules)

• Zylkene® is easy to give in one daily intake. The Capsules contain a palatable, water soluble powder that appeals to both dogs and cats. They can be given whole or opened and the powder mixed with food, treats or liquids. Since Zylkene is taken orally and ingested, it is present wherever the pet goes, both inside and outside the house.
• Water should always be available to your pet. 
• Zylkene is palatable and easy to give: simply mix with food or give the whole capsule.
