Guides

• Label glossary. The terms on a German feed pack, with worked examples

  Additives per kg, dry matter, crude ash, CFU: what the terms on a label mean, which of them state an amount, and how to turn them into a figure per serving.

• Zylkène and alpha-casozepine. Tested in cats, barely in dogs

  Zylkène is the best-known brand for unfamiliar situations. What is in the capsule, which trial supports the amount, why the evidence differs so much between cats and dogs, and which strength suits which weight.

• Calming supplements for dogs. What they can do, and what training has to do

  L-tryptophan, L-theanine and valerian in figures: where there is a reference amount per kilogram and where there is not, how long an effect takes, and why expectations of a fireworks-night product are usually too high.

• How to turn a label figure into an amount for your pet

  Almost every reference figure is per kilogram of body weight, and almost every label is per serving. Three steps that make them comparable, and the four places it goes wrong.
