Zylkene 225 mg is a supplement designed specifically to help medium-sized dogs, weighing between 10 and 30 kg, manage stressful situations and environmental changes. The product comes in practical, easily administered capsules, suitable for prolonged or temporary use. Zylkene is obtained from a milk protein (casein) and contains alpha-casozepine, a natural substance that contributes to relaxation without causing sedation or unwanted effects such as lethargy or negative behavioral changes. It is particularly suitable for animals facing periods of stress such as travel, house changes, veterinary visits, the arrival of new animals or people in the family, thunderstorms and fireworks. The capsules can be administered directly or opened to mix the powder with food.
Zylkene is well tolerated by most dogs thanks to its natural origin and can be included in the daily diet without altering eating habits. Free of preservatives and added sugars, it is also suitable for sensitive animals. The supplement works by supporting general well-being and promoting more balanced behavior, allowing the animal to adapt better to new situations.
The effectiveness of Zylkene is noticeable after a few days from the start of administration, favoring a reduction in uncomfortable attitudes such as vocalizations, agitation, poor sociability or destructive behaviors attributable to stress.
Therapeutic Indications
This supplement is recommended for dogs weighing between 10 and 30 kg who are faced with potentially stressful conditions or events that can disrupt their daily routine. Zylkene is useful in cases of environmental changes such as moves, renovations or even just new presences in the family, which include other pets or people. It is suitable during trips and transfers, during shelter in boarding houses or when the dog must remain alone for prolonged periods. It can be useful during holiday periods when there are fireworks or thunderstorms that cause anxiety. This product is also used to support behavioral modification programs, working in synergy with educational and rehabilitation techniques. Thanks to its sedation-free action, it allows the dog to maintain a state of alertness and interact normally with the surrounding environment. Zylkene can be used both continuously, for particularly sensitive animals, and in a targeted and temporary way, a few days before the stressful situation and continuing until the end of the event. It is useful in preventing the appearance of unwanted behaviors induced by stress, such as excessive barking, obsessive licking, peeing out of place or attacks of aggression induced by fear, promoting more balanced and serene reactions.
Composition
Active ingredient: Zylkene contains alpha-casozepine, a bioactive molecule obtained through enzymatic processes from casein, the main milk protein. This substance acts at a receptor level on the central nervous system of animals, promoting relaxation and well-being without a negative impact on the dog's alertness or cognitive functions. Each Zylkene 225 mg capsule contains 225 mg of alpha-casozepine. The other components include inert bulking agents, free of dyes, sugars or allergenic substances, making the product also suitable for dogs with food sensitivities or allergic predispositions. The capsule itself is easy to open; the internal powder can be mixed with wet or dry food to simplify administration. The origin of the raw materials is of food quality and designed to guarantee maximum safety and effectiveness of the supplement, ensuring traceability and absence of contaminants.
Contraindications
Zylkene is generally very well tolerated in dogs, thanks to its natural ingredients selected for their low allergenic potential. However, it should not be used in individuals with known hypersensitivity to milk proteins or any of its excipients. In case of adverse reactions such as diarrhea, vomiting or skin manifestations, it is advisable to discontinue the product and consult your veterinarian. The use on animals suffering from serious food intolerances must be evaluated in advance with the veterinary surgeon. Particular attention is recommended if the dog follows a specific highly restrictive diet due to kidney, liver or gastrointestinal diseases, since the addition of new foods or supplements must take place after expert advice. Not intended for puppies or pregnant/nursing animals unless under veterinary supervision.
Safety of the drug for the species
Studies carried out on the active ingredient have shown good safety for the canine species, even in the case of prolonged administration. The level of tolerability is high and no serious side effects have been observed when the supplement is used according to the instructions for body weight on the label. The formulation of Zylkene, free of synthetic substances, significantly reduces the risk of interactions with other supplements or drugs, making it ideal also for dogs following other therapies for chronic pathologies. It does not generate habituation or dependence. The product can be used safely for long cycles, under veterinary supervision, to support dogs with behavioral fragilities or hypersensitivity to environmental stimuli. No problems related to overdose are reported if the extra quantity is not considerably higher than the recommended one; in these cases, it is advisable to contact the vet for precautionary checks.
Precautions
Zylkene should be used as a support and not as a one-size-fits-all solution to stress or behavior problems in dogs. It is recommended to always evaluate the general state of the animal with the veterinarian, especially if other concomitant diseases are present. It is important to respect the recommended doses in relation to the animal's body weight and not to exceed them without prior authorization from the veterinarian. Keep the product out of reach of children and other non-recipient pets. Use preferably under veterinary supervision, especially in the case of very young, elderly or debilitated animals. Zylkene does not replace any behavioral rehabilitation process, but can represent a valid supplementary aid in the context of personalized plans for stress management. The capsules must be stored away from humidity and heat sources, in the original hermetically sealed packaging until used. Wash your hands after administering or handling the product, especially if you open the capsules.
Method of administration
Zylkene 225 mg should be administered daily, preferably administering the dose for the dog's body weight, preferably at the same time each day. The capsules can be given whole directly into the animal's mouth or opened to disperse the powder on wet or dry food, making intake easier especially for particularly wary dogs or with reduced appetite. For dogs weighing between 10 and 30 kg, the typical dose is one 225 mg capsule per day, but the exact dosage can be adjusted based on the animal's response and specific instructions from your veterinarian. In case of foreseeable stressful situations, the product should be administered at least 1-2 days before the expected event and continued until the end of the critical situation. The supplement can be taken both on an empty and full stomach, without affecting the digestion or bioavailability of the active ingredient. If used on multiple animals at the same time, make sure that each one receives the correct amount and that administration occurs individually.
Treatment program
To obtain the maximum benefit from the use of Zylkene 225 mg, we generally recommend a continuous treatment program until the period of stress is resolved, or repeated cycles on the occasion of known uncomfortable situations. In acute situations (moves, travel, holidays), start administration at least 1-2 days before the event and continue for the entire duration or until the animal's emotional well-being is completely re-established. For cases of chronic stress or animals with behavioral instability, an annual plan with regular cycles under veterinary supervision can be prepared, periodically evaluating the response to the supplement and combining it with specific behavioral education activities. There are no reports of negative effects related to long-term treatments, but it is still advisable to carry out regular reviews of the animal's condition with the veterinarian. Administration can be stopped gradually without rebound or dependence effects. Maintaining a consistent routine helps the dog to better internalize changes, strengthening emotional resilience in the long term.
Target species
Medium-sized dogs, weighing between 10 and 30 kg. Suitable for both adults and elderly dogs, without prejudice to contraindications in the case of specific allergies to milk proteins or particular clinical conditions evaluated by the veterinarian.
