What is Pet Melatonin for Cats?
Melatonin is a naturally occurring hormone produced in the pineal gland of cats (and other animals). It plays a large role in regulating sleep patterns. It also has a role in the regulation of cortisol production, a hormone secreted by the adrenal glands in response to stress.
Pet Melatonin is in a convenient liquid format that makes it easy to administer to cats in the correct amount, unlike capsules or tablets. It is synthetically derived and not extracted from the pineal glands of pigs. A synthetic melatonin ensures safety from viruses or other microbes that may be present in animal tissue.
(NOTE: Never give your pet a melatonin supplement made for humans as they can contain ingredients such as xylitol, which is toxic to pets.)
What is Pet Melatonin used for?
Pet Melatonin is a supplement made just for pets. If your cat’s sleep patterns have been disrupted, Pet Melatonin can help to normalize their sleep rhythms. If your cat is agitated, anxious or restless, Pet Melatonin can help with a restful night’s sleep. You can also use Pet Wellbeing Calming Care daily for additional calming support.
Many cats with hyperthyroidism (high thyroid hormones) tend to exhibit signs of restlessness and have trouble sleeping. Pet Melatonin is ideal for these cats and is often given with Pet Wellbeing Thyroid Support Gold.
Consider Pet Melatonin for your cat if they are experiencing:
Sleep-wake pattern disruption
Anxious behavior
Trauma (fear, anxiety)
Anxiety from separation
Cognitive disorder causing confusion/trouble sleeping
A note from our veterinarian...
A primary recommendation for cats taking Thyroid Support Gold is to also administer Pet Melatonin. Some cats will initially experience an increase in relaxation (decreased activity), possible drowsiness, and more sleep with Pet Melatonin. This usually stabilizes within about two weeks.
Nutrition:
Ensure your cat receives a diet high in nutrients. SPARK Daily Nutritional Supplement provides nutrients and superfoods from whole-food sources along with probiotics and enzymes for overall good health, immunity, and energy.
