Our customer asked:-

Hi I have a approx 5 yrs old rescue JRT with not a good past. I have had him 14 months and he is a stressy little fellow. He is fine in the house but the out side world is a different matter and he reacts to most things, now I am working on this with a behaviourist and he has suggested that I try zylkene for Woody. How does this work along side other meds as he takes medication for a heart murmour. And would this help Woody with his problems?

Our reply:-

Hi,

Zylkene is perfectly OK to use alongside medication for heart or other problems, it does not interact with them at all. Chances are that Zylkene will help to some extent, but it is unlikely to change things dramatically. If you are working with a behaviourist then you are doing the right thing. Zylkene will probably improve things, but you will still need to work on the behaviour training for some while.
