Zylkene Nutritional Supplement
Vetoquinol Zylkene is a nutritional supplement containing the milk protein casein. Casein has shown to promote relaxation of newborns after breastfeeding. Zylkene with casein helps pets cope with unusual, stressful and unpredictable situations as well as changes in their normal environment. Stressful situations that cause anxiety include kennel and cattery stays, travel, grooming and veterinary visits, new home, arrival of a new pet or baby, visitors and fireworks.
Common signs of behavioral stress:
- Altered sleeping and resting patterns
- Changes in the use of the environment (avoiding an area)
- Changes in demeanor - altered posture, large pupils, tense muscles
- Excess vocalization
- Changed resting places
- Excessive licking
- Reduced play
- Increased or decreased social interaction
- House soiling
Feeding Directions:
Capsules can be fed once daily, whole or opened (mixing the powder with the meal or with a treat). Ideally Zylkene supplementation should be stared a few days before required - before fireworks, a veterinary or grooming visit, or a kennel stay. For longer term stressful situations, Zylkene should be given for a minimum of 1-2 months or longer if necessary.
