Excellent Product
I have a little Bischon who's personality is carefree, happy-go-lucky, friendly, loving, playful etc... you get the idea. That all suddenly changed one day, she did not want to play, not motivated by food, shaking, hiding, and would not go out side. I believe something tried to attack her in the backyard. She uses a doggie door to go in and out of on her own. Oh, did I mention she begin soiling all over the house, something she never did.
Took her to the Vet, did blood work, urine etc.... no physical symptoms. She was experiencing severe anxiety- fear!
I started her on the Zylkene and together with a consistent re-training routine, she is improving. She still will not go out side on her own, but to see her happy again, warms my heart.
She begin improving within the same week of starting the Zylkene. She has not side affects! Great Product!!!!! And did I mention its a non-invasive way to treat anxiety!!!!! Love It.

Cat won't it eat it
My cat would not eat Zylkene, so it was a waste of money, especially since the bottle has 30 doses.

Has helped relax my cat
From UndisclosedComments about Zylkene 75mg, 30 CapsulesMy cat, Stella, is 13 years old. She's always been skittish, but got really scared when we brought Jasper home. He's 5 years old and three times her size and he chases her. At the suggestion of the behaviorist, I started both of them on Anxitane, but I also started giving Stella Zylkene. Since she started the Zylkene, she is much more relaxed and even braver. The Zylkene hasn't cured all of her skittishness, but it's nice to see her more relaxed.-

I bought this for my parrots.
From UndisclosedComments about Zylkene 75mg, 120 CapsulesI bought this for my parrots. Their egg laying was out of control. This has helped lower their hormones and they are much calmer, happier birds. And no eggs. -

From UndisclosedComments about Zylkene 75mg, 120 CapsulesI have one very high-strung cat and one who is less anxious. My vet recommended Zylkene for my high-strung cat prior to bringing him in for veterinary visits. She also thought it might help him stop peeing outside of his litter box when he was upset with us for being out-of-town. I put the cat on Zylkene when we went away for a long weekend in May (for the first time in over a year), and my catsitter noted that the cat seemed much calmer! In addition, he regularly used his litter box. Therefore, I asked my vet about putting both cats on Zylkene during the six-week bathroom remodel that we are currently undergoing in our small house. She said it is okay to have the cats on Zylkene longterm, so I put both of my cats on the Zylkene supplement. Although they are upset with all of the noise and comings and goings, they are not panicky. Zylkene seems to have no taste, so I just empty the capsules into their food and they are happy to eat it. In addition we don't notice much change in the cats' behaviors. They aren't groggy or disoriented like on some sedatives. The calming effect is subtle, but I do think there is one. Note that you need to start the Zylkene 5-7 days before a stressful event.-

Seems to help
From UndisclosedComments about Zylkene 75mg, 120 CapsulesI use this with Calmkeen, mixing a capsule of each into a can of wet cat food in the evening meal. I also use just this mixed into their breakfast wet food. I have a spayed female cat that occasionally does urine marking. I'm hoping it helps. The cats don't seem to notice it in their wet food. -

From UndisclosedComments about ZylkeneFor my 13 year old cat to allow to tolerate some changes going on in our house. It does work but not right away. With a lot of love and encouragement she stopped hiding and started standing up for herself and became braver after 13 years.

Will Zyklene help my 4.5 month old puppy better accept toe nail grooming? He tolerates me playing with his paws but totally freaks when I try to grind/file his nails. I can hold the grinder (with the safety cap on) up to his nose or paws with no fear from him. As soon as I try to actually groom his nails, he yowls and squirms so much that he could actually hurt himself.?

I have a 50 lb, two year old, high anxiety, border collie mix. She is fear aggressive toward other dogs and people. I started her on the 450 mg several months ago and had wonderful results, but i didn't order a refill on time, so she missed a couple of days of dosage. After I received her new refill, I started the same dosage again and it didn't have any therapeutic effect on her at all. I am so sad for her and us. My question is: is it ok to give her the 450 and a smaller dose along with it? The vet who recommended it to us said to double the dose but I am afraid it would be too much for her. Please help.?

75mg 225mg or 450mg for a dog weighting 75lbs.?
-
Zylkene is a supplement that can help with anxiety and stress in dogs and cats. The manufacturer recommends that a dog between 66 and 132 pounds take two of the 450 mg capsules daily. The manufacturer-recommended length of treatment with Zylkene varies depending on the type of stressor that your dog is going to experience. For a short-term stressor such as fireworks or traveling, the manufacturer recommends that you begin supplementing your dog's food about 1-2 days prior to the event, and continue until the stressful event is done. For long-term stressors like a new baby, the manufacturer recommends giving Zylkene for a longer period of time. We recommend that you discuss your dog's stress with your veterinarian before you place your order in order to ensure that Zylkene is the best option for your pet.
