Zylkene 75mg is a natural calming supplement for cats and small dogs based on alpha-casozepine, a milk-protein peptide studied in clinical trials and shown to support relaxation without sedation. Each capsule delivers 75 mg of the active and is designed for daily use in pets under approximately 5 kg, supporting them through predictable stressful events (vet visits, fireworks, travel, boarding) or longer-term behaviour change work. Health Benefits Non-sedating natural calming: alpha-casozepine is a milk-derived peptide that supports the same calming pathway in the brain as prescription sedatives, without the drowsiness or wobbly coordination they can cause Supports predictable stress events: useful for fireworks, thunderstorms, vet appointments, moving house, the arrival of a new pet, and kennel or cattery boarding Pairs well with anxiety management plans: works alongside behaviour change training and prescription anxiety medications in dogs and cats with general anxiety, separation distress, or noise phobia Once-daily dosing: capsule given whole or opened and sprinkled onto food; most pets accept it without resistance No known side effects or interactions: unlike prescription anxiety medications, Zylkene hasn't been linked to sedation, wobbliness, dependence, or significant drug interactions in clinical studies Suitable for cats and dogs: 75 mg capsule is dosed for cats and small dogs up to ~5 kg; larger strengths (225 mg, 450 mg) cover medium and large dogs Vetoquinol Zylkene is one of the most-prescribed non-prescription anxiety products for dogs and cat anxiety products in Australian vet clinics, supporting pets through stressful events with no sedation and no known side effects.
