Our customer asked:-

My new dog is coming from a homing centre who currently have put him on Zylkene. I am concerned about the journey to our home as it is about 3 hours.
Would it be a good idea to also use adaptil spray for this trip and his first few nights at home? Are there any known interactions?

Our reply:-

Zylkene and Adaptil can be used together and indeed they often are. If you are worried about your dog being anxious, then I would indeed use them both. Otherwise you should try to be calm and confident yourself, and try to impart those feelings to your new dog. It is easier for you to appear confident if you think you are doing the right thing. So do what you feel comfortable with, then don't worry any more. Get on with looking after your dog and take things as they come. Most re-homed dogs are initially anxious, but soon settle once they know what the new routine is. Try to be predictable, consistent and confident.
