Zylkene Calming Supplements

Modern living can be challenging for pets, but you can turn chaos into comfort by giving them the right tools to cope. Calming supplements, such as Zylkene for cats and dogs, offer some of the best options for calming dogs and cats in the UK.

Its natural ingredients, derived from milk protein, have been clinically proven to have calming effects on both cats and dogs by sending calming signals to the brain, which may help ease symptoms of anxiety in pets, such as:

Panting and pacing
Excessive barking or vocalisations
Bathroom accidents
Hiding

If you’re looking for short-term support for stressful situations, like vet trips or household visitors, the Zylkene calming supplements are a simple solution to life’s stressors. They offer natural calming and relaxation without causing drowsiness in dogs.

The capsule can be opened so you can sprinkle the contents onto your pet's meal. Mix it with food a day or two before the stressor appears, and watch the change. Help your pets find calm in the chaos with Zylkene for dogs, cats, and horses.

FAQ's

Can Zylkene be used long-term?

Yes, in some instances, Zylkene can be used long-term, with Zylkene Plus specifically formulated to support long-term or recurring stress in pets.

That said, Zylkene is a calming supplement and is not intended as a replacement for prescription anxiety treatments.

If your pet is still showing signs of stress after being on Zylkene for a month, or you're not sure what is causing your pet's stress, book a consultation with your vet for a professional diagnosis and to rule out any underlying health problems.

How Does Zylkene Work?

All Zylkene calming supplements contain casein, which is a natural ingredient derived from milk that has been clinically proven to have a calming effect on cats and dogs.

This protein helps pets in times of stress by sending "calming messages" to the brain through the central nervous system and evoking a sense of safety and calm in your pet.

How long does Zylkene take to work?

According to the manufacturer's instructions, you should give your pet their recommended daily allowance of Zylkene 1-2 days before the expected stressor is due to begin to allow the supplements to get to work in time.
