The Best Choice for Less Pet Stress
Zylkene is a pet parent's trusted solution for times when your cat or dog is feeling stressed. Furry family members are delicate creatures when faced with frightening, unsettling or unpredictable situations or changes in their environment. This innovative behavior supplement helps kitties and pups relax and increases their ability to cope with environmental upsets. A calmer pet leads to a less anxious pet parent and a more tranquil household.
Take Away the Furry Worries
Even the most easy-going pets can easily become a bundle of nerves in stressful situations. It's pretty common for both cats and dogs to respond to changes with anxiety, but Zylkene offers a way to balance your pet's mood and help them maintain a normal, relaxed disposition.
Some common causes of pet anxiety:
Travel
Loud Noises
New Baby
Fireworks
New Home
Vet Visit
Look for the Signs
Animals can't tell us when they feel upset, but they can show us in many different ways. Keep an eye on them and look for the telltale signs that they might be distressed. These include sleep pattern changes, more or less social interaction with people or animals, reduced play, hiding, weight loss or gain, withdrawal, barking and howling incessantly or more than usual, repetitive and excessive licking or over-grooming, house soiling, or trying to run away.
Just Mix and Serve for Gentle Relief
Zylkene is easy to administer to your pet whenever you're expecting an event like upcoming holidays, visits or vet trips. It comes in capsule form, and you can give it whole or break it open to mix with meals or treats. You only need to give it once daily, starting a few days before the event to bring calming relief.
A Safe Alternative to Sedatives
This supplement is ideal for pet parents who are looking for an alternative to overpowering medications. Zylkene won't cause sedation or drowsiness or cause your pets to be less alert. The main ingredient is a natural, bovine-sourced milk protein called casein. It's the same protein found in mother's milk that has a soothing effect on pups and kitties.

My sister brought her dog to my house to visit.One of my two cats somehow attributed the dog smell to one another and began viciously attacking each other even tho they were previously best friends and had been raised together. I tried everything. Pheromone Infusers, Pheromone Collars, Zanax from the Vet. NOTHING HELPED. They were dead set on killing each other. I had to keep them separated at all times and it upset my whole household. After ONE dose of these capsules on poured onto their food, I started seeing less tension, more calmness, less hostility. I was afraid I was going to have to give up one of my cats but I think this may do the trick.

The difference was immediate in my male cat who was hostile and aggressive to my female. This may give me back peace and harmony in my house. Its the first thing I've tried that actually seemed like it was helping and helping fast! … more

Of course my most picky cat is the one who needs this! He would not go near ANY food or even tuna that I tried to mix this in - he just sensed that the powder was in it and would not eat it. I'm slowly introducing Royal Canin "Calm" kibble to him and he kind of picks around that but at least eats some of it. It's been very challenging to get him to eat any kind of treat or supplement that is for anxiety. Have multiple Feliway devices plugged in and trying a calming collar. Hoping a combination of these items help!

It's hard to express just how much this supplement helped my 2-year old rescue cat. He's very sweet, but he's painfully shy and anxious, likely due to some trauma he experienced as a kitten. I adopted him about 6 weeks ago and he spent the first 5 weeks hiding under the bed 24/7. He wouldn't come out for any reason. He was so afraid to leave his safe space that I had to eventually move his litter box under the bed. I tried everything to make him feel safe and used every calming aid I could think of -- diffusers, chews, oils, etc. Nothing worked. After about 4 weeks I realized he needed more than just my love and patience to get over his fear, so I was about to schedule an appointment with It's hard to express just how much this supplement helped my 2-year old rescue cat.

After about 4 weeks I realized he needed more than just my love and patience to get over his fear, so I was about to schedule an appointment with the vet to discuss anti-anxiety medication. Right before I did that though, I came across this product on Chewy. I didn't have high hopes, but I had nothing to lose so I gave it a try. I'm SO HAPPY I did. I mixed the powder into his wet food and he ate it without issue. After about 2 days I noticed changes, most notably he started playing a lot. He was still under the bed, but he was running around and playing with his toys like a little nutter butter. He just seemed so much happier. After about 10 days, he started to explore his room (I caught him on camera)! And a couple of days after that he started coming out when I was in the room. He's now willing to play with me and sit just a few inches away from me. For him, that's huge! He's now well on his way to fully integrating himself in our home, and I don't think that would have been possible without Zylkene. I'd recommend this to anyone with a scared and anxious cat. … more

I was a bit shocked at the size of this capsule! Thankfully I had pill pockets on hand and I was able to open the capsule and pour the powder into the pill pockets. It did take 3, sometimes 4 pill pockets for 1 capsule. I feel it is working, my new rescue goes after my current cats much less frequently. She is an older cat with some health issues so I have to be careful. She isn't eating as much but I am not sure if it's related to the zylkene. I am going to cut back on the zylkene and see if her appetite increases. I do recommend this product just be aware it is a very large capsule for a cat to take.

Our Kitty Darla was licking her fur off, the entire back half of her was literally bald. After spending $100.00s at the vet, telling us she has allergies, I looked up her symptoms. I found this product on Chewy.com. with in 5 days her fur was coming back. Now 3 weeks later, her fur has grown in nice and full. Thank you Chewy.com! Love, Darlas human Mom.

One of my dogs had senility and trouble with pacing. This helped. That dog recently passed and I am now giving it to my surviving dog. She gets nervous going to the groomer, the vet, etc. These pills help. Just open capsule and mix the powder inside with a little peanut butter. Easy.

This is an additive that doesn't make your doggie dopey or sluggish and the differences are not seen until about a week. It takes the anxious edge off and helps doggies to enjoy themselves rather than jump up at every noise. Their personality doesn't change but there is a calming change in their behavior.

I had seen Zylkene work wonders with shy, withdrawn, anxious shelter cats. So, when my dog's anxiety went through the roof and a prescription drug seemed to stop working, I decided to add Zylkene. My dog seems a bit less anxious--at least his stress barking can be stopped.

My vet recommended this for my Jack Russel this summer, and it seems to really help her isolation distress. She’s able to relax and lay down in her kennel again, yay! I found Chewy because my vet was selling this to me for $45 a bottle, so I’m so grateful for the price on Chewy’s! My vet said it’s safe to use long-term, so I set up automatic shipping so I don’t have to remember to reorder.

My veterinarian suggested that we give this to our cat after he came down with a uti. Along with some homeopathic remedies and the Zylkene he is back to his normal, healthy condition. I will keep this on hand as part of my pets medical kit.
