ANXITANE ®(L-Theanine) Chewable Tablets help pets keep calm and relaxed.Containing a pure synthetic form of L-Theanine, an amino acid naturally found in green tea leaves, ANXITANE Tablets are a palatable option that both cats and dogs will enjoy and a great option to use in conjunction with a behavior modification program.

Anxitane's active ingredient is L-Theanine, a green tea extract. Anxitane is not a form of medication, which means that it will not result in drowsiness or dependency. Anxitane is very safe and can be used in conjunction with behavioural treatments and/or other medication. Anxitane is easily administered. 94% of pets will take the tablet readily, including and especially cats (never leave a box of Anxitane within a cat's reach, as it will probably eat the entire contents!) Another choice is Anxitane, a highly palatable, chewable tablet from Virbac. This non-drowsy chew contains the natural ingredient L-Theanine, which helps to calm and reduce anxiety in dogs and cats. It has a fishy flavour, making it that little bit easier to give to your pet. ThunderShirt Anxiety Shirt for Dogs is an effective and safe solution for calming fearful and anxious dogs. It is ideal for fear of fireworks, thunderstorms, separation anxiety, cars or travelling. The Thundershirt is easy to put on and ensures a consistent pressure on the core of the dog. This pressure has a calming effect for most dogs. In a recent survey of over a 1000 users, 85% of dogs were less anxious when wearing the shirt (The Journal of Veterinary Science).Nobre AC, Rao A, Owen GN.

In cases such as these, administer a double dose of Anxitane 3 to 4 hours in advance. Anxitane dosage The cats received 25 mg (half a tablet of Anxitane® S, Virbac, France) in the morning and 25 mg in the evening, corresponding to 50 mg of L-theanine per day, for 1 month. Any other oral supplement was forbidden, as well as pheromone applications or drugs. No specific behavioural therapy instructions were given, so as to keep a reproducible environment among the subjects. Nevertheless standard recommendations regarding the feline species were given to each owner (no punishment, elementary rules for feeding, etc). Of the 12 cats with sleeping issues at D0 (score > 0), 9/12 (75%) were judged normal at the end of the study (significant reduction of scores, Friedman test, p< 0.05). Similarly, of the 16 cats described as sad or unhappy (score > 0 for mood), 12/16 (75%) were normal/happy at the end of L-theanine administration (significant reduction in scores, Friedman test, p< 0.001). Appetite and drinking behaviours also improved in some cats but not significantly. 2/9 (22%) and 1/2 (50%) of the cats with appetite or drinking issues at baseline became normal (score of 0) at the end of the study. Ease of administration, tolerance and owner’s satisfaction Four other parameters describing elementary behaviours (mandatory for animal survival) were scored, from 0 (normal/regular) to 2 (very disturbed) according to their intensity or frequency: sleep (normal to agitated), appetite (normal/regular to disturbed), drinking (normal/regular to high water consumption) and mood (happy to sad). Thirty-three privately owned cats presenting signs associated with stress or fear (inappropriate urination/defecation, fear-induced aggressiveness, hypervigilance/tenseness or physical/functional manifestations of stress) for at least 1 month, were included in the study. They were given L-theanine (Anxitane®, 25 mg twice a day) for 30 days and 20 stress-related parameters were scored at Days 0, 15 and 30. The evolution of some parameters was also rated relative to Day 0. All median scores of the 20 parameters were significantly reduced at D30, and 30/33 cats (91%) had a reduced global score at the end of the study, including 21/33 with ≥50% score reduction. The median (IQR) global scores went from 18 (13–23) at D0 to 11 (8–13) at D15 and 5 (3–12) at D30 ( p< 0.0001; Friedman test; significant reduction starting from D15). All the stress-related signs were significantly improved compared to D0, according to the owners, especially inappropriate elimination. Tablet palatability was judged good or very good in 94% of cases with spontaneous intake by cats when given by hand or in food. Tolerance was satisfactory as well, and no side effects were reported, so that most owners (27/33; 82%) were satisfied with the product.
