Respiratory Health

What is kennel cough?

Many dogs suffer from kennel cough (also called Bordetella). This canine upper respiratory ailment is a highly contagious condition which – as its name implies – is common among dogs that spend a lot of time in close quarters:  in kennels, dog shows, grooming salons, etc. Beyond causing respiratory problems, kennel cough can weaken your dog's immune system and make him or her more prone to catching other canine diseases.

You can help prevent kennel cough (or other canine respiratory diseases) by not letting your dog share toys, food or water with other, unknown dogs. But if he or she does contract kennel cough, Throat Gold will help ease the symptoms and find relief.

Dealing with coughs and respiratory problems in dogs

Does your dog cough persistently or have trouble breathing? One possibility is that your dog is suffering from kennel cough or a similar respiratory ailment.

A dog's cough is never an illness in itself. Rather, it's a symptom of some other problem, like:

• Allergies
• Asthma
• Bronchitis
• Dog collar too tight / leash strain
• Irritants like cigarette smoke
• Infectious disease (usually kennel cough)

Whatever the cause of your dog's cough or breathing problems, Throat Gold can help.

What is Throat Gold?

Throat Gold has been developed using herbal ingredients to holistically support the tissues of the throat and entire upper respiratory tract of dogs. Our veterinarians have selected herbs that address healthy respiration and immunity, but specifically immunity of the throat's tissue surface. Some of the herbs in Throat Gold are termed "demulcents". Demulcents are a type of plant constituent that are high in mucilage content and act to soothe and calm throat irritation, inflammation and cough.

What is Throat Gold used for?

Continuous coughing can be strenuous not only for a pet but for a pet owner as well. Throat Gold can help support your dog's immune response to infection. Throat Gold effectively works to maintain healthy tissues in the throat and respiratory tract and eases discomfort. Animals who have stayed in areas with poor ventilation, feel stressed out (such as during travel) or are exposed to cigarette smoke may have less ability to fight infections. Kennels are often places where a pet can pick up an airborne infection.

Throat Gold can also be used for hoarseness of the throat, including leash strain. The ingredients of this formula are highly effective for supporting and maintaining health and comfort of the upper respiratory tract.

Can my dog take Throat Gold with medications?

Use Throat Gold with caution if taking steriod medications.

What is Lung Gold?

Lung Gold is a combination of natural herbal ingredients and Vitamin C designed to help maintain strong immunity in the lower respiratory system of canines. For symptoms in the upper respiratory tract (runny eyes & nose, sneezing, hoarse throat and dry, hacking cough) as well as asthma, you'll want to look at Throat Gold http://www.petwellbeing.com/products/dog-cough-medicine. 

Lung Gold was developed by our holistic veterinarian to help dogs boost their innate resistance to harmful viruses, bacteria and fungal infections that affect the lungs and can compromise breathing and oxygenation of tissues. Lung Gold helps to maintain open airways. It works deep in the lungs and it works for different conditions that cause similar symptoms.

What is Lung Gold used for?

The respiratory system can be divided into two areas: the upper and lower respiratory systems. Lung Gold is for the lower respiratory system, needed when there is inflammation in the lower, branching bronchi and bronchioles. Your dog may have a productive, phlegmy cough, shortness of breath, difficulty with exercise and/or wheezing.

Conditions in the lower respiratory tract can be caused by:

• infections (viral, bacterial or fungal)
• allergies (environmental, such as to cigarette smoke)
• parasites (heartworms, lung worms)

Regardless of the cause, there is compromised ventilation and there is inadequate gas exchange in the alveoli of the lungs. Alveoli are hollow sacs at the base of the lungs where carbon dioxide is released for exhalation and oxygen is taken in and transported through the blood to oxygenate the rest of the body.

One of the most frequent uses of Lung Gold for canines is bronchitis. If the causes are either allergic or parasitic, Lung Gold can provide added immune support in the lungs and help maintain normal dilation of the airways.

If your dog has allergies that affect the lungs, you will also want to look at Nettle-Eyebright Gold http://www.petwellbeing.com/products/dog-allergies to assist with normal allergic responses. If the cause is parasitic, it will be necessary to eliminate the parasites.

Always seek the consultation of your veterinarian as needed.

A Note from our Veterinarian...

Respiratory illness can be very serious. At all times, it is important to monitor the progress of your dog and to seek the guidance of your veterinarian as needed.

Indoor and outdoor environmental toxins (such as cigarette smoke, car exhaust) can make a lung problem worse. If your canine is suffering from a lung-related condition, keep the air quality as clean as possible and eliminate additional stressors to the lungs. Provide good indoor ventilation, and don't let your dog ride in the back of a pick-up truck where exhaust fumes are heavy.

Serious lung conditions can be painful, lead to lack of interest in food, high white blood cell counts and cause fever.

Can my dog take Lung Gold with medications?

Absorption of drugs taken at the same time may be delayed. Not to be used with hypotensive drugs or prior to anesthesia.

Does it come with a guarantee?

Yes!  Lung Gold comes with a 90-day money-back guarantee.
