Zylkene Capsules are a complementary dietary supplement designed to assist cats and dogs in managing stressful situations. Zylkene contains a natural ingredient derived from casein, a protein found in milk, which is known for its ability to induce relaxation in newborns following breastfeeding. Zylkene is not only easy to administer but also palatable: it can be either mixed with food or given as a whole capsule. It is suitable for daily use and is free from preservatives and lactose.
Zylkene is great for short-term challenging situations.
You should start Zylkene 1-2 days* before the event and continue for the duration of the challenging situation.
*Some animals may need earlier administration (5-7 days).
