Though they usually complain much less than human members of the family, a dog or cat dealing with viral or bacterial invaders is suffering every bit as much as we do. When your pet is “under the weather” with an acute respiratory condition, Respiratory Support can aid their immune system functions for a healthy recovery while it soothes irritated tissues throughout the respiratory system. 

The herbs in this formula have been carefully selected for their immune supportive properties specifically targeting the respiratory system. Respiratory Support is a synergistic blend of 10 botanicals chosen for their traditional use to help soothe mucous membranes, ease lung functioning, assist with lymph stimulation, and to support overall immune system performance in the presence of infection.

Available in 2 oz. and 4 oz. bottles.

New Improved Formula! In our new formula the herbs are distilled in alcohol instead of glycerin, which is generally considered to preserve more of the beneficial nutrients of the herbs. And because alcohol is not sweet like glycerin, we've added agave nectar (a natural sweetener) to the formula to make it more palatable for dogs and cats.

This product was made in a FDA approved facility using human-grade ingredients.

Only Natural Pet brand products are 100% Guaranteed!

The following quality botanical ingredients are included in this tincture:

• Black Elderberry (fruit):  Elderberry is the fruit of the black elder tree (Sambucus nigra). Elderberry is an excellent source of vitamins A, B and C, as well as bioflavonoids and anthocyanins, which support proper cell functioning. Its properties may also strengthen the body's immune system. Elderberry extract was recently announced in a Journal of Science report to be an extremely effective remedy for Influenza.
• Lemon Balm (leaf):  Lemon balm is a traditional botanical used widely as an antibacterial and antiviral agent.  Also known as having antioxidant activity, Lemon balm is commonly found in formulas designed to support the immune system during herpes simplex outbreaks.
• Licorice (root):  Licorice has been used in ancient Greece, China, and Egypt for ailments of the upper respiratory tract. Licorice has antiviral and antimicrobial properties and soothes the body's mucous membranes including those found in the throat. It also supports proper functioning of the adrenal gland during times of illness and stress.
• Lomatium (root):  The root of the Lomatium dissectum plant has been used extensively by the Native Americans of the Pacific Northwest and Northern Nevada where it grows. It is used primarily for upper respiratory infections due to its antiviral and antibacterial properties. Lomatium is also commonly found in formulas designed to support the immune system during herpes simplex outbreaks.
• Red Root (root):  Red root has been historically used to stimulate lymph and inter-tissue fluid circulation, which supports proper function of the immune system.
• Usnea Lichen (whole plant):  Usnea contains usnic acid, a natural antibiotic proven effective against gram positive bacterial conditions, such as infections of Streptococcus (strep throat), Staphylococcus (e.g., impetigo), and Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
• Wild Indigo (root):  Wild indigo is traditionally used for its antimicrobial action on focused infections, particularly of the ear, nose and throat. Wild Indigo is believed to help liquefy phlegm and support its drainage. It also stimulates lymph and inter-tissue fluid circulation, which supports proper function of the immune system.
• Yerba Mansa (root):  Yerba Mansa has been used for centuries for poorly healing infections of the mouth. It has similar properties to the commonly used herb Golden Seal, and although unrelated to Golden Seal chemically or botanically, it can be used similarly to support relief from inflammation of the mucous membranes, swollen gums and sore throat. This is important because Golden Seal, a popular herbal remedy, is in danger of becoming extinct in the wild due to exploitation.  Yerba Mansa is also used for its antibacterial and antifungal properties.
• Yerba Santa (leaf):  This traditional Native American herb is used to support the loosening and release of phlegm and the opening of the bronchial passages.
• Isatis (leaf, root):  Isatis has been used for centuries in Traditional Chinese Medicine to support reduction of heat, to cool the blood and throat, and to support the immune system.  It has antiviral and antimicrobial properties.

Other Ingredients: Glycerin, Agave Nectar and Purified Water

About Only Natural Pet Herbal Remedies

The Only Natural Pet Herbal Remedies have evolved from the work of holistic veterinarians and experienced herbalists to bring you a wide selection of natural health care products for your animal companion. Herbal formulas are easy to administer and assimilate, making treatment simple and effective. Herbs are great natural sources of vitamins, antioxidants, minerals, enzymes, amino acids, proteins, trace elements, essential fatty acids, and other important nutrients.

Only the finest herbs are used in our formulas, and the synergistic nature of blending the herbs makes interactions more strongly felt. Nothing is more natural than harnessing the healing powers of the herbs and flowers around us. Animals in the wild have an uncanny ability to seek out and eat plants that will help them when they are ill or injured.

Natural therapies do not attack just the symptoms of a disorder. Instead they rebuild the total health of the body and the body heals itself. When natural remedies are used in conjunction with a nutritious diet, your pet can enjoy a healthier life.

The effectiveness of Respiratory Support Herbal Formula, as with ANY herbal or natural remedy, varies with the health of the animal.  An animal being fed a high-quality diet with adequate vitamins and enzymes will respond better than an animal on a poor quality diet.  Each animal’s system needs support in healing from within.  Please see the article What You Need to Know About Your Pet’s Food for information about feeding the best quality diet.

Please keep in mind that response to supplements varies by individual.  If your pet's symptoms worsen or change in any way that concerns you, discontinue use of any supplements and contact your veterinarian.

When introducing any new supplement, it is wise to start with a lower than recommended dose and build up over the course of several days to a week.  Only introduce one supplement at a time.
