Lactium®: opinions

Improving their pets’ well-being is a priority for most owners. To achieve this, many solutions exist, particularly in stress management. Among them, Lactium® stands out, an ingredient of natural origin without side effects.

Lactium® is a milk protein hydrolyzate, containing a decapeptide known for its relaxing properties: alpha-casozepine.

User reviews, whether from pet parents or animal health professionals, play a crucial role: they help us understand how, in real life situations, an ingredient will effectively act on the behavior of our four-legged companions. In the end, it simplifies our choice among all the options on the market.

Uses of Lactium® in animal health

Animals such as cats and dogs also experience stressful situations that they must learn to overcome, such as travel, separations, changes in environment or even the arrival of a newborn.

Lactium®, by binding to the GABAa receptors in the brain, will reduce their perceived stress and help them find a state of calm. As a natural ingredient, it does not cause unwanted side effects.

User reviews about Lactium®

Lactium® is an ingredient contributing to a wide variety of complete diets or complementary feeds. In the form of kibbles, wet food, capsules or treats, it is easy to administer to your pets so you meet all their needs.

Reviews from pet owners as Lactium® users are overall very positive. Many testimonials report a quick and visible improvement in their animals’ behavior.

For example, this owner explains how his dog regained its calm during the holidays thanks to Reavet’s Relax, a paste containing Lactium® as only relaxing ingredient:

“My dog is afraid of certain things. For example, he barks constantly during New Year’s Eve. Thanks to this paste, he had a relaxed New Year’s Eve. This can also be administered on treats. No side effects were noticed.”

Another pet parent was convinced by this very same product, especially on a travelling occasion:

“With this paste, our dog relaxed in the car for the first time on our vacation trip. His eyes even closed slightly. We’ve never seen this before. We have already tested so many things, nothing had worked.”

Reviews from animal health professionals

Many veterinarians also recommend Lactium® for its effectiveness. They highlight the absence of side effects and the ease of administration.

During a webinar, our consulting veterinary behaviorist, Dr Lisa Radosta, stating a product containing Lactium® as only active ingredient, said: “We use this product particularly on stressed cats and dogs, to help them come out of their shell and therefore become more sociable. We really like this product.”
