sparkycat Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 On my vets advice my nervous hound has been on Zylkene for 2 weeks. It appears to have made a big difference as I can now take her for a long walk around my town whereas before I had trouble getting her out of the driveway. She is 7 years old and has been becoming more nervous in the last 12 months or so. I got her as a 3 year old after her previous owner died. She is currently on 2 x 450gm per day - I have googled but can't find any info about a maintenance dose - it is expensive at $64 for 30 capsules. Anyone had experience with it ?

No experience with it. Given it's active ingredient is a milk protein, I'd be surprised if dosage needs careful control. I'd do a bit of research... maybe you can get the same effect from some dairy product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being that the active ingredient is casein, I wouldn't think you'd see any adverse effects from reducing to 1 capsule per day if you wanted to see how she goes on a lower dosage. Zylkene 75mg Up to 5kg 1 Capsule a day 5 - 10kg 2 Capsules a day Zylkene 225mg 10 - 15kg 1 Capsule a day 15 - 30kg 2 Capsules a day Zylkene 450mg 15 - 30kg 1 Capsule a day 30 - 60kg 2 Capsules a day https://www.discountpetmeds.com.au/zylkene-450mg-30-capsules.html Thanks - She weighs 37 kgs which is why the vet recommended 2 x450 per day.
