SereniCare

Yes. SereniCare is suitable for use in dogs and cats 

Yes. SereniCare is safe for long-term use. 

Yes, SereniCare can be mixed with water. Please note that it will not dissolve, instead it forms a paste. This paste can be mixed into your pet’s food or administered directly into their mouth using a syringe. 

SereniCare should never be added to hot food or mixed in before cooking. We recommend letting the food cool to lukewarm before mixing in SereniCare.

SereniCare does not contain chicken, soya, wheat, or yeast. The flavouring is fully artificial and contains no meat proteins, making it suitable for pets with common food allergies. 

SereniCare does contain a milk protein (α-casozepine). This ingredient is broken down (hydrolysed) and contains very low levels of lactose, which are not considered significant, even for pets with lactose intolerance. 

SereniCare can be used alongside most products in the Protexin Veterinary range, as well as probiotics and calming plug-in diffusers such as pheromone or essential oil products. As an oral supplement, it provides calming support both at home and when you’re out and about. 

If you wish to use SereniCare alongside Cystophan or Denamarin, please contact our technical team first.  

If your pet is taking other behavioural medications or supplements, we recommend speaking with your veterinarian before use. 

SereniCare is not recommended for use during pregnancy or lactation. While the use of L-tryptophan has not been studied in pregnant animals, pregnant and breastfeeding women are advised to avoid L-tryptophan supplementation, so caution is advised. 

Yes. SereniCare is designed to have a calming effect and help manage stress and anxiety.

Yes, SereniCare is suitable for use in dogs and cats with noise sensitivities. In a questionnaire-based owner trial, many owners reported that their pets showed reduced reactions to thunderstorms and fireworks when using SereniCare. 

For more tips on supporting your pet during firework season, please read our article on behavioural advice.

Yes, SereniCare can be used in dogs with separation anxiety. For the best results, it is recommended to combine its use with guidance from a professional behaviourist. 

Aggression in dogs is complex and usually requires multi-therapy management. If your pet has shown any signs of aggression, professional behavioural support should be sought as soon as possible.

While you arrange this support, it is essential to take steps to keep everyone safe, as dog owners are legally responsible for their dog’s actions: 

• Keep your dog on a lead at all times when out of the house. 

• Muzzle train your dog, and ensure they wear a muzzle whenever you leave the house. 

• Avoid known triggers where possible. 

• Keep children away from the dog and never leave them together unattended. 

Start SereniCare at least 2 weeks before a stressful event. Some pets may respond sooner, but it can take up to 6 weeks to see the full calming effect. 

Yes. An additional dose can be given 90-120 minutes prior to an expected stressful or anxious event.

Yes. Using SereniCare alongside behavioural training is recommended to support the best long-term results.  For guidance on choosing the right professional, please see our article on selecting a behaviourist.

Store SereniCare in a cool, dry place at room temperature, out of direct sunlight.
