Natural Support for Bronchitis in Dogs and Bronchitis in Cats
Is your cat or dog coughing, gagging, spitting up mucus or having difficulty breathing? Your pet may be suffering from a respiratory issue such as bronchitis.
What is Bronchitis?
You may have heard of bronchitis, but what is it? The bronchi are the larger airways that move air through the lungs. Air is taken in through the nose and trachea (windpipe), where it goes into the chest and branches into two bronchi, one in each lung. Bronchi are tube-like structures made of cartilage that branch into much smaller structures that carry oxygen into the body. When injured by irritants (eg. air pollution, cigarette smoke, a buildup of toxins, etc.), the body responds with a healing process that is inflammatory by nature. These cycles of irritation and inflammation may result in the overproduction of mucus in the airways. The mucus obstructs smaller bronchial pathways, which triggers coughing, leading to more irritation, inflammation, and mucus. It is a vicious cycle.
As pet parents, we all want what's best for our little ones. So if your furkiddo has recently been diagnosed with bronchitis, luckily there are natural ways to support them to manage symptoms and help them get back on their feet! With bronchitis in dogs or bronchitis in cats, your furry friend may be suffering from constant inflammation and mucus in their airways. In that case, there is a high likelihood that an infection may develop and cause their immune health to weaken, especially if they are constantly trying to deal with an infection that won't go away. This weakened state may lead to a buildup of toxins in the body. Our Bronchitis Kit contains Resp-aid, BK-Detox and Stimmune, which work together to help improve your pet's natural defenses, as well as may help to relieve inflammation, help reduce excess mucus production, and promote healing.
If your pet is experiencing chronic bronchitis, consult your vet to see if there is an underlying cause. When you listen to your cat or dog coughing, the nature of the cough (eg. wet, dry, honking, etc.) does not necessarily provide any clues for its cause.
How NHV Supplements Relieve Symptoms of Bronchitis
With bronchitis, the body's natural healing process involves inflammation, so it can be tough to relieve the persistent cough that comes with excess mucus. To help soothe the airways and respiratory system, Resp-Aid's expectorant and healing properties may help prevent mucus buildup and move it along as well as may help calm swelling in the chest and throat. Stimmune is beneficial for adding immune support with its antimicrobial and antibacterial properties while its many healing compounds may help to improve immune response. BK-Detox contains ingredients like cleavers, burdock, and gotu kola that work together to help flush toxins out of the liver, lymphatic system, and respiratory system. With fewer irritants present, the body is encouraged to rebuild and repair.
