How to use Zylkene
Zylkene only needs to be administered once daily and is very easy to give. Simply open the capsule and mix the palatable powder with your pet's usual food or a favorite treat. The powder is water souble so easily mixes with liquids such as milk, cream, gravy or the oil from a tin of tuna.
For big dogs, some owners prefer to five the capsule whole e.g. hidden in a piece of cheese. However, most pepole find mixing the powder with their pet's dinner is the easiest option.
Start supplementation with Zylkene 1-2 days before required, so before fireworks season begins or prior to a kennel or cattery stay. However, our pets are often very clever at associating 'cues' with consequences. For example your dog or cat may learn that seeing you pack a suitcase leads to a stay in the kennel or cattery. In this situation, ideally Zylklene would be started the day before the suitcase appeared. Zylklene can also be fed for 1-2 months for longer-term scenarios.
