Composition of Stressoxan
Stressoxan contains ingredients important for feeding dogs or cats with symptoms of stress and anxiety: neurotransmitter precursors and bioflavonoids with antioxidant properties.
L-Tryptophan – is an essential amino acid present in the synthesis of numerous proteins in the body and a precursor of neurotransmitters. L-tryptophan contained in Stressoxan, after absorption in the pet’s digestive tract, crosses the blood-brain barrier and is then converted to 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP). This conversion is catalysed by vitamin B6. The 5-HTP is then converted to serotonin.
Hibiscus syriacus extract standardised to 40% gossypin content supports your pet’s body in situations of stress or anxiety. Gossypin (3,5,7,8,3′,4′-Hexahydroxyflavone-8-glucoside) is a ligand for γ-aminobutyric acid type A (GABAA) receptors. In addition, gossypin also exhibits antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.
New Year’s Eve and Christmas vs. the companion animal
Screaming and noise are important factors that contribute to a pet’s behavioural disorders. It has long been known that an excessively noisy environment is bad for companion animals. The New Year’s Eve and carnival period is one of those times when dogs and cats experience horror. Exploding and loud fireworks make the pets shake with fear or run nervously in search of a safe, quiet place. This can even cause your animal to have epileptic seizures, which are life-threatening.
There are several ways to help your dog or cat during New Year’s Eve and Christmas. Firstly, remember to avoid going for walks with your pet on New Year’s Eve. Go for a walk in the morning. Secondly, you should cover the windows so that your dog or cat cannot see the fireworks. You should also remember to prepare a place for your pet where it will feel safe. It’s also a good idea to use specialised formulations that reduce your animal’s hyperactivity on New Year’s Eve and Christmas and allow it to experience them in comfort and peace.
