Zylkene for pets with anxiety

If your dog gets anxious during storms or your cat hides when guests arrive, Zylkene could help bring some calm back into their day. Designed to support pets during stressful situations, Zylkene is a vet-recommended supplement made from natural casein — a protein found in milk that has calming properties. Whether it’s travel, vet visits or changes in routine, it’s a gentle option for managing everyday stress in both dogs and cats.

Zylkene for dogs comes in easy-to-give capsules, perfect for popping in a treat or mixing into food. For cats, Zylkene is especially handy when used ahead of stressful events like moving house or introducing a new pet. It’s non-sedative and doesn’t affect your pet’s personality — it just helps them feel more at ease.

If you’re building a toolkit to support your pet’s mental wellbeing, Zylkene pairs well with calming dog treats, cat stress relief, or dog training treats. For dogs with more severe anxiety, a combination of calming supplements and an orthopaedic bed for added comfort can make a big difference.
