Zylkene, a natural calming supplement for dogs and cats, is a nutritional product formulated from milk and indicated for the prevention or treatment of stress-related behavioral problems in animals. This calming product for dogs and cats relaxes the animal before a predictable stressful situation occurs. Behavioral problems in animals often lead to stressful situations and are quite common. Some have a medical cause, so you should consult your veterinarian. The tranquilizer Zylkene, manufactured by Vetoquinol Veterinary Specialties, helps your pet cope with changes, travel, noise, visitors, or moving around. It is naturally derived from alpha-casozepine, a molecule derived from milk proteins, with a relaxing effect. Its effects as a moderate anxiolytic or calming agent are similar to those found in other medications such as diazepam. Zylkene is available as a water-soluble, lactose-free powder solution. It is easy to administer, but extra caution should be exercised in cases of animals allergic or sensitive to milk. It is palatable to the animal and does not produce side effects. It can be used for extended periods. ADVANTAGES: Calming product for dogs and cats. Prevents and treats stress-related behavioral problems. Has calming effects, but no side effects.
