How long does it take to start working?

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

Assessing effectiveness - How do I know it's working?

  • 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.

Packed scoops - How to accurately measure AC for Dogs™

  • 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.

Unpacked scoops - How to give part of a scoop accurately

  • 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.

Packed scoop vs. unpacked scoops - what's the deal?

  • 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
