I need to get more zilkiene but it's much cheaper to get it online than at the vets, last time I payed the vets £30 for 20 when I can get it online for 100 for £65.
I'm looking at pet meds online site. But I'm wondering is it safe to get stuff online?

Zylkene isn't a prescription medication, so it's safe to obtain over the counter. :-)

I saw some leaflets on Zylkene at a branch of Pets at Home yesterday. Asked if they stock it, answer was No, and staff had no idea where I'd get it from!

As long as you use one of the established firms like pet-meds. vet-medic hyperdrug etc yes, i wouldn't go much on getting that type of stuff from ebay or gumtree or similar

Thank you guys, I was worried in case the stuff inside isn't what it's ment to be, you here in tv about people buying meds online and it has other stuff in it.

This is the people I'm looking at,

think I've seen them at crufts befor, the logo looks familiar. Is it cheaper to get stuff at crufts? I should have enough till then. I use it befor shows, going down to England to say at family or if someone is coming up.

No problem with established online pet pharmacies :)

Just ordered some from MedicAnimal, at a fairly good price too, £10.90 for 10x450mg.  I ordered 2 lots (so 20 capsules in all) and postage was free. Oh and I'm being sent a free promotional keyring as well.

Thank you MsTemeraire just had a look at that site and its £5 cheaper. I want the 100 of 225mg so I won't habe to order more for ages. I'm considering trying her on it every day for a month and see if it helps her outside the ring as she has gotten much better with strangers in the ring but hasn't taken that to out and about.

Did you have to do anything special to get the key ring? I want one now!

I'll put in an order tomorrow.

No... just appeared in my basket at the end! :)

I'm trying Zylkene as the next on the list of calmatives for one dog that's very stressed by fireworks and thunderstorms. Nothing much has had an effect so far. Although it occurred to me one thing we haven't tried is providing a "den" as none of my family have ever crate trained ours (to date).

This dog (rescue) does seem to have been crate-trained in the past, also good reason to believe she was bred from, so the den might be worth trying as well. We have thunderstorms predicted here overnight so have set up a fabric crate for her and she was happy to go inside it and settle. Whether she does during a storm is another thing entirely.

Hopefully it helps her poor girl. A friend's dog use to get so worked up by thunder and fireworks she only stoped when she lost her hearing.
I tryed my girl on valerium but didn't see much difference, she was a bit better but she hated the stuff, I only have to open the bottle and she runs. I had got her to the point were she would stand on the table but would shake, lean and some times cower a bit. Normally with the zilkeine she doesn't do any of it, and stands still like she use to a few times she has still started shaking but most times she is much better on it.

It also helped my brothers dog but they stopped using it for some reason. So I'd defernatly recommend it.

That is so sad.  I only ever had one dog that got worked up over thunder, and she was a rescue.

My old Bearded Collie was so bold that, during storms she would stand on the back of the settee (to watch out of the window.)  We once had the most awful lightning, the worst I'd ever seen.  I found it quite unsettling.  But she was mesmerised watching the forks light up the night sky.

Any dog that I've owned from puppyhood has never even been worried by fireworks.  I thank my lucky stars, and that's for sure.

Yeah she realy had a hard time with her.

My girl liked fire works as a puppy but wasn't too keen last year. When we were on Holliday there was a really loud thunder storm and she started fussing when it's never bothered her befor.
