Zylkene Effects on Anxious Cats

In this research endeavor, an investigation was conducted to evaluate the anxiolytic, or anxiety-reducing, effects of a test diet known as the Royal Canin Feline Calm diet. This diet was enhanced with two specific components: L-tryptophan and alpha-casozepine. The study focused on a cohort of 24 cats that were categorized as either mildly or markedly fearful based on their reactions to the presence of a person in their designated living space. The outcomes of these protocols indicated that the test diet demonstrated a notable reduction in anxiety responses when the cats were placed in unfamiliar surroundings, but not an unfamiliar person.

Nutritional Intervention for Feline Stress
The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine has conducted peer-reviewed notes that delve into the intricate relationship between feline stress and the potential impacts of nutrition, diet, and supplements. While addressing the root cause of stress remains the ideal approach to reducing a cat’s distress, it’s not always possible to eliminate stressors. In light of these challenges, the research investigates various medical interventions, supplements, and dietary strategies that can contribute to the reduction of stress levels in cats.
 
Purina Calming Powder for Felines

Bifidobacterium longum (BL999), originally intended as a probiotic supplement for dogs, has been adapted for felines. While no peer-reviewed papers about this specific product have been identified by the author, there exists a white paper research conducted at Colorado State University. This research encompasses a placebo-controlled trial focusing on cats afflicted with feline herpesvirus-1. The trial spanned 12 weeks. Notably, the cats administered with this supplement exhibited notable reductions in sneezing and pacing, as well as decreased cortisol levels.

PROTEIN g %

The ‘Impact of Macronutrient Composition and Palatability in Wet Diets’ study provides nutritional averages for cats, including protein, calories, and fat content.

Cats adjust their diet to prioritize high-protein/low-carb options, regulating their food intake to keep daily carbohydrate intake below 3 g/kg body weight. When cats limit carb intake to low-protein/high-carb options, their protein and energy levels become restricted as well. High-protein/low-carb diets average 6g of protein per body weight per day resulted in the following chart breakdown by percentage. In summary, cats discern between diets based on macronutrient composition, maintaining maximum protein intake while curbing carbohydrate intake.
