Zylkene® Calming Capsules for Dogs & Cats
Zylkene® helps promote calm behaviour during stressful events such as travel, thunderstorms, fireworks and veterinary visits. It may also help pets adjust to changes in their routine or environment.
Active ingredient: Alpha-S1 tryptic casein, also called alpha-casozepine, a peptide derived from milk protein. Zylkene is available in 75 mg, 225 mg and 450 mg capsules.
Directions for use: Give by mouth once daily. Capsules may be given whole or opened, with the powder mixed into food. For a predictable stressful event, begin 1–2 days beforehand. Keep fresh water available.
