Description
What is Respiratory Aid?
Respiratory Aid helps guard against upper-respiratory infections in cats. It helps clear their little stuffy noses, and decongest their sinuses, and lungs to promote healthy breathing.
About Respiratory Problems in Cats
Many cats – especially very young and older cats – are prone to catching upper respiratory infections, similar to colds in humans. These tend to be highly contagious, so it’s best to keep an infected cat away from others (if possible).
Respiratory infections can be hard on kittens and elderly cats, occasionally resulting in death. And even for otherwise healthy and strong cats, respiratory infections are very unpleasant – just as a cold or flu is unpleasant to you. So it’s a good idea to get treatment, if only to ease your cat’s symptoms.
Common symptoms
- Sneezing
- Runny nose
- Watery eyes
- "Rattling" breath, husky purring
- Snoring
- Reduced energy levels
Can Respiratory Aid help?
The herbal extracts in Respiratory Aid have been carefully combined to provide the ultimate in relief to your cat’s breathing problems and other symptoms
- Helps guard against infections
- Supports your cat’s natural defenses

"I used Respiratory Aid on my cat Trig, the sweetest cat ever. She seemed to be bouncing from one cold to another. Respiratory Aid has really helped her. She rarely gets colds any more, and when she does, she’s not as troubled by them. Please feel free to use this email as a testimonial." Ashley, Cleveland OH

My 8 year old cat developed allergies/asthma this past summer. The vet gave him a shot of prednisone after several unsuccessful and traumatic trials with oral medication. Knowing the long term side effects of this medication I wanted to find a safer alternative. When I found this product online I was keen to try it after reading comments from other users who claimed that the product was easy to administer. My finicky cat only eats one kind of dry food so I sprinkled a dose of Restiratory Aid on the pellets and to my amazement, he actually ate all of his food! After a few doses the sneezing and snorting dimished greatly and he is now back to his old playful self. I would absolutely recommend this product, even for finicky cats!

Calms some symptons
Product did not help my cat as other reviews said. My cat still has sneezing problems daily. For the cost I was hopeing that would have worked more effectively.

Comments about NHV Respiratory Aid for Cats:
I am so thankful I found this product. My cat has severe allergies. He was getting allergy medication daily and was still having problems. Sometimes the medication didn't help at all. I was desperately searching the Internet for something else to try. All the positive comments about this product prompted me to give it a try.
It started helping him within the first couple of days. Then it seemed like it wasn't helping as much, but I kept giving it to him twice daily. Now, six weeks later, he's doing great. I seldom have to give him the allergy medication, and he's eating and playing like he feels so much better. I put the drops in his canned food. He seems to not even notice it, so I'm assuming it doesn't have a bad taste. I would definitely recommend giving this a try.

Comments about NHV Respiratory Aid for Cats:
Our cat started losing weight late last spring. His appetite decreased as well to the point that he would not even eat his favorite food or treats. We tried eveything. We took him to the vet, and he ran a battery of tests only to diagnose him with severe allergies. His sneezing increased during that time as well. I read the reviews for this product and we thought we should give it at try. We are so amazed at how much improvement we have seen in him. Some days, he eats everything in site, and he very rarely sneezes anymore. He has started gaining his weight back and acts like his old self....... This is truly an amazing product. Thank you so much. We will definitely be back to purchase again.

Comments about NHV Respiratory Aid for Cats:
I have never written a review on any product but feel compelled to relate my story. We had a rescue kitty (along with four others ages 6 months to 16 yrs.) who started getting watery eyes and sneezing. Fearing that the others might catch whatever it was, we took him to the vet and he was diagnosed with an upper respiratory infection. He got a shot and 10 pills to take. After a week, the meds didn't seem to be working and the other kitties were starting to sneeze. Instead of another 100 dollar trip to the vet, I decided to try the Resp-Aid I found on your website. I used the dropper to administer the reccommended dosage in their wet and dry cat food. After two days, the initial sick kitty's eyes cleared up. After six days, all of them were cough and sneeze free. The best thing is that they never seemed to mind the taste. It's been two weeks since I stopped the Resp-Aid and all symptoms are gone.
Needless to say, I'm a very happy customer.
Thank you.

Comments about NHV Respiratory Aid for Cats:
I adopted my cat from a no-kill shelter and two days later, the coughing and attempts at clearing her throat began. I took her to the vet several times. The doctors could never seem to pinpoint the exact problem, but medication would be given nonetheless. Then I sought out a second opinion and the same result: no one knew what was wrong. After paying several expensive medical bills and for meds, my cat seemed to get better for a while. Then she got worse and I started researching her condition online. Being given repeated clean bills of health, I wondered if she had allergies. Then I came across this Resp-Aid supplement and decided to try it. It's been 2 days and her wheezing has diminished. I can no longer hear her coming up behind me and the sneezing has stopped entirely. Even her eyes look brighter. I've been administering the drops directly which I can only do when she's relaxed in my lap. I think she even knows that it's helping. I'm going to continue this until her symptoms disappear entirely and then keep the remainder on hand for emergencies.

Comments about NHV Respiratory Aid for Cats:
I decided to bypass the vet visit and the antibiotics. I used this product for my two cats when they were coughing and sneezing. Within a few days their symtoms diminished greatly and I have been giving it to them twice a day to keep the colds at bay. I did stop for a few days and the symtoms returned so I will keep them on it until the cold weather shifts. It is not pleasant administering into the mouths with the dropper. But that is okay, I have been doing this sort of thing for years.

We started a 3X's a day treatment to help our older cat (16) get over sniffles and cough. Cleared up within 2 days. Have given it to all 4 of our cats, once daily, to help their immune systems. No more sniffles or coughs. Thank you so much for being there for us.

Comments about NHV Respiratory Aid for Cats:
We have seven cats, and when our oldest, Boogie, became chronically ill with upper respiratory congestion, violent sneezing, and coughing, I became very concerned as the meds from our vet did not seem to be helping her. I searched online, and (thankfully!) found the Pet Wellbeing website and this amazing product. After a few weeks of administering the drops to her twice daily, she is now greatly improved, and I will continue to give it to her until there are no more signs of illness. I will always keep a bottle on hand since I rescue and foster kittens/cats, and this is an illness that can be easily passed throughout the household! The ferals have even gotten drops in their water recently to keep them healthy :)

Comments about NHV Respiratory Aid for Cats:
My cats can now live comfortably. They breath easier and don't sneeze. They are flat faced Persians, one elderly. They can now enjoy life. Before they were just existing. I thank God daily for this product. Without it one cat would have been euthanized due to constant sneezing spasms. Now she loves life, every minute of it. Another cat was always conjested, not any more. I can now enjoy my cats and not worry constantly about their health. The stress is off and the answer is here.

Comments about NHV Respiratory Aid for Cats:
My 19 year old cat has had a history of respiratory issues for a few years .... usually occurring in the spring through the summer. This past May, it had become awful and I mistakenly continued to use another holistic product that had given him some limited relief the past few years. This time, however, it was having no effect on him and he continued to get worse. He was heavily congested and I was becoming concerned that his time with us was limited. In doing a search online, I came across this product and gave it a try. The first few weeks, I had my doubts because I was seeing ... at best ... limited improvement in his breathing. I stayed with it for a few more weeks and I was beginning to see he was turning the corner. I continued to use it and, today, he's breathing better than he has for several years and it's a joy to see the improvement in his health to the point that he's showing the personality that typically disappears during our hot, humid summers.

My 2 yr old cat started with conjestion in his sinuses and coughing. Instead of paying a high vet bill I thought I would give this product a try. My cat is about 8 pounds, so I just added the recommended amount to the top of his dry food. Within about 4-5 days he was free of coughing, sneezing and acting normal again.

Comments about NHV Respiratory Aid for Cats:
My 2 year old tabby was recently diagnosed with Asthma 3/7/11. What I thought was hairballs was not. So if anyone sees their cat hunched over appearing to be clearing hair from their throat...please take notice. My cat was doing this 3 to 4 times a day and then I realized something was just not right. When the Vet confirmed Asthma he gave her a shot of Depromedral which lasted for 4 weeks. In the interim I ordered this product and also filled the liquid prescription that my vet prescribed for her which she would need to be on for life. Cost about [$] per bottle and I think it was a month supply. I ordered it just in case this natural product did not help. I decided I was going to give my cat the Resp-Aid first and not the liquid med from the doctor. I figured since the shot would last for 4 weeks, I wanted to get this Resp-Aid product into her system. She gets 6 drops in her wet food 2x a day. (Read instructions for your cat) She eats her food with no problem. There are no side effects. The depro shot wore off the first week of April. It is now 6/13/11 and she has not had an attack at all!! I give her the Resp-Aid every day. The cost for 2 bottles is [$] which will last a year. Prior to being diagnosed she was having at least 4 attacks a day that I saw. I discussed it with my Vet who approved me using this product. He can not believe it. I did not use or have not ordered any of the Asthma medication that was initially recommended. I would highly recommend this product, but you should clear it with your vet first as it may interfere with certain medications. Again read all information. I also use a product called Stimmune for my 2 other cats who have itching from allergies..All are doing fine! My cat with the Asthma is playing much more and her energy is back. I am thrilled!

Question:
i have a kitten and she is having trouble breathing and her purring sounds terrible. her nose is warm. HELP!!!!!! what do i do?Asked on 1/26/2012 by katie1 answer
Answer:
If it is a serious condition I would suggest bringing your kitten to your Veternarian as soon as possible. The Respiratory Aid generally takes time to be absorbed into your pet's system. Once absorbed it can help clear up congestion and help get rid of infection. Please note that you are unable to use this supplement in conjunction with digoxin-based medication.Answered on 1/30/2012 by Coreena

Question:
Hi, I am very interested in trying this product because I don't trust my vet - they don't seem to know what they're doing, charge way too much, and are too quick to prescribe steroids - steroids apparently cure everything in their minds. I researched the ingredients in this product and Lobelia is listed on the ASPCA website as well as many others as being very toxic to cats. I would love to use this to see if it helps my cat's wheezing and sneezing, but I don't want to use it if it shortens his lifespan at all. ???Asked on 1/18/2012 by Hannah from Moorpark, CA1 answer
Answer:
There are many herbs that need to be carefully administered as too high a dosage can have adverse effects. There can sometimes be a tendency with natural products for people to think if a little is good, a lot must be great. There is also the difference in the dosage for a human and the amount that would be healthy for a small cat, which sometimes people do not take into account. The amount of Lobelia in the Respiratory Aid has been set by vets who specialize in holistic herbal veterinarian medicine, and so is perfectly safe for your pet. It is commonly used with pets to address respiratory issues such as kennel cough and asthma. If used at too high a dosage it will cause vomiting.Answered on 1/19/2012 by Diane from CRS office

Question:
I have a 14yo male cat. Lately he seems to have back to back URI's. The antibiotics didn't work last time and he is still sneezing and has a runny nose. The vet said he may have feline herpes and is just doomed to have the infections. He said I could try Lysine vitamins (which i give him in treat form) and that nothing else could really be done.
In your honest opinion, do you think it may help my cat. He still drinks fine and eats fine, just sneezes and has a runny nose. Sometimes his 'purr' seems rusty (if that makes any sense)
THANK YOU for your help!Asked on 1/12/2012 by Marie from SC1 answer
Answer:
This product has been helpful for other pet's diagnosed with feline herpes. The ingredients within this supplement are helpful in boosting your pet's immune system, and helps to soothe irritated tissues and manages inflammation.Answered on 1/17/2012 by Coreena
Question:
We have a 7 year old manx cat with feline herpes. She is on L-Lysine as a regular treatment, however, still has the symptoms such your web page describes. Have you known any kitties stricken with feline herpes and respiratory complications to benefit from your product?Asked on 1/12/2012 by Carol & Randy from Hagerstown, MD1 answer
Answer:
We have had cats with feline herpes who have benefited from our Respiratory Aid. What is important to remember that our supplement is all natural and that all pets absorb the natural supplement differently, therefore the results vary from pet to pet. The Respiratory Aid is very helpful in supporting your pet's immune system (which as you may know is very important for pets with herpes as they are more prone to an outbreak when their immune system has been compromised) It also helps to clear noses, and lungs from congestion. This supplement has no side effects but should not be taken in conjunction with any dioxin based medication.Answered on 1/16/2012 by Coreena
Question:
I have a 5 cats and three of them are coughing and sneezing the symtoms went from one cat to another. Do you think this is a cold or a respitory infection? I am worried about a kitten of 3-4 months old.Asked on 1/5/2012 by Bobby from Pembroke Pines, Florida1 answer
Answer:
It is hard to tell what is the cause of symptoms without getting testing done by a veterinarian. Whether it is an infection or a common cold the Respiratory Aid can be used. Once absorbed into the system the Respiratory Aid helps to clear noses, and lungs from congestion as well as supports the immune system. I would suggest taking your kitten to see a veterinarian as a kitten of that age's immune system can be still developing so a condition such as bronchitis or an upper respiratory infection might be more serious for he or she then your older cats.Answered on 1/9/2012 by Coreena
