FAQs for AC for Dogs™

Yes, AC for Dogs can be given to cats as well. Here is the recommended dose:

• Under 5kg: Give 1/2 an unpacked scoop daily (90 doses/tub)
• Over 5kg: Give a full unpacked scoop daily (45 doses/tub)

Always use positive-reinforcement based training in conjunction with AC for Dogs™. Never use punishment, pain, fear, yelling or intimidation-based training techniques.

Dogs that are highly challenging may require referral to a behaviour veterinarian. All good dog trainers and veterinarians can refer you to a behaviour veterinarian. If yours can't, then find one that can.

AC for Dogs™ is completely safe to use in dogs that are taking other medications, including all known prescribed medical or behaviour drugs.

We often get this question, and so have put this here for transparency. Zylkene and AC for Dogs™ are made by different companies.

AC for Dogs™ vs. Zylkene:

• Both contain the same active ingredient, alpha casozepine. Our laboratory testing has found that the amount of alpha casozepine in one 30-dose tub of 450mg AC for Dogs™ is similar to 30 doses of Zylkene 450mg.
• CompaniCalm sources the AC for Dogs™ from grass-fed NZ dairy milk (Zylkene does not publicly state their source).
• AC for Dogs™ is Australian made and owned (unlike Zylkene).

We have had many people swap from Zylkene to AC for Dogs™ and find it works just as well for their pet, but at a fraction of the cost.

We have developed a cost effective method of producing AC for Dogs™ without sacrificing quality. Our production of hydrolysed casein (containing Alpha-Casozepine) was made possible through the CSIRO Australia Kick-Start program.

AC for Dogs™ contains Alpha-Casozepine, which provides nutritional support to help maintain calm behaviour in dogs. For more information on the science behind Alpha-Casozepine, check out our research page here.

Most people notice effects within 2-4 days of starting. However, please read the point below on assessing effectiveness.

• When Alpha-Casozepine is working, you can expect your dog might display calm behaviour more regularly and for longer periods.
• Calm behaviours can include time spent resting, sniffing, relaxing or cuddling with you.
• Remember to continue to avoid triggers as recommended by your trainer or behaviourist.

AC for Dogs™ contains alpha-casozepine, which has been shown in studies to help promote calm behaviour in many dogs. In fact, some dogs respond absolutely fantastically - owners report seeing huge benefits, and these dogs go on to lead calmer, happier lives with the right support. The only way to know if your dog will be one of these success stories is to give it a try.

That said, just like with prescribed behaviour medications, every dog is an individual. While most dogs will show at least some benefit if given at the right dose for a long enough trial period, a small proportion may not respond significantly. Sometimes a dog is improving, but the change isn’t obvious because the signs of reduced anxiety in their body language are subtle. In other cases, owners may expect the product alone to resolve a behavioural issue, when the best results come from combining AC for Dogs™ with positive reinforcement training and behaviour modification strategies.

• For accurate dosing, each scoop of AC for Dogs™ should be compacted to ensure it contains a full 450mg dose.
• Measure a packed scoop by simply pushing your heaped scoop into the inside of the container 3 times before levelling it off.
• For a simple dosing table, click here

• For dosing fractions of a scoop, it's difficult to use packed scoops. In this case, you can use 1 unpacked scoop per 10kg.
• This means fill the scoop half way for a 5kg dog, or fill the scoop without packing it for a 10kg dog.
• To measure an unpacked scoop, gently tap it against the side of the jar to even out the powder.
• Please note that this method has more variation in dose, so for larger dogs, we recommend using packed scoops for accurate dosing.
• When measuring the dose for your dog, round up to the nearest 5kg weight.
• For a simple dosing table, click here

• Packed scoops are to be dosed at 1 per 15kg. They are the most accurate, and should be used for larger dogs weighing 15kg or over.
• Unpacked scoops are dosed at 1 per 10kg. They are a bit less accurate, but allow you to easily measure out a fraction of a scoop.
• For a 20kg dog, you could give 1 packed scoop (15kg dose) and half of an unpacked scoop (5kg dose). 15kg + 5kg = 20kg
