A Natural Remedy for Cat Respiratory Infections

Symptoms of respiratory infections in cats are similar to those in humans such as watery eyes, runny nose, sneezing, coughing, and difficulty breathing. Resp-Aid™ is a holistic all-natural remedy for respiratory infection in cats to help provide them relief.
NHV Resp-Aid is currently under clinical studies conducted jointly with the University of Saskatchewan and the University of Calgary.
