Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using Zylkene, determine the correct dosage for your pet's weight as indicated on the product packaging. To administer, pull the two halves of the capsule apart and sprinkle the fine powder over the top of your pet's regular wet or dry food. If using dry food, you may add a small amount of water or a pet-safe topping to help the powder adhere to the kibble. Store the product in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the potency of the ingredients. Always consult with your veterinarian before introducing any new supplement into your pet's diet, especially if they are currently on prescription medications or have existing dietary sensitivities.
