What is Kennel Cough and what are the symptoms?

Kennel cough is a highly contagious upper respiratory infection that often affects animals that are kept in a confined space such as boarding kennels, dog shows or veterinary hospitals.

Symptoms include a persistent dry hacking cough or bouts of deep harsh coughing often followed by gagging, which may produce a foamy mucus.

What is the conventional treatment?

Mild cases may improve without treatment. Conventional treatment of kennel cough often involves antibiotics which tend to relieve the animal’s symptoms fairly quickly, but also have a general weakening effect on their immune system, which can cause further problems, especially in the long-term.

Vaccinations to prevent kennel cough are also often recommended. But research indicates that frequent vaccination or over-vaccination may unnecessarily stress a pet’s immune system.

The natural way

In the wild, animals instinctively seek out plants that will help to support health in various body systems. It therefore makes sense that as owners, we can help our domestic pets by making herbal and other natural supplements available to them.

As part of a holistic approach to pet health, natural remedies can help to support your pet's immune system, help with the routine elimination of toxins, and generally maintain the overall health of your animal.

"KC-Defense helped our puppy recover from kennel cough which went on and one with such terrible coughing! Thank you for a great product!" Trudi

"I can recommend the KC-Defense as an effective remedy to help with kennel cough. It has worked for our dog very quickly and I thank you!" WLG

"After successfully treating my Afghan with KC-Defense, I will not send her to the kennels without it! At least I can be confident that she is protected as her system is very sensitive and she easily picks up infections from other dogs. This product is great! Once again I have been very impressed by your service and your products!" Brent

"“KC-Defense worked like a charm! I administered the granules at hourly intervals to those worse affected and to those that were not as bad, 3 times a day. They are over the worst of it but still coughing slightly. They should be good to go by the end of the week. Thank you, PetAlive! You have saved me from exorbitant vet bills and many sleepless nights!"Lyndol L.

"I adopted 2 kittens (brother & sister) from the local SPCA... In desperation, I looked on the internet and found your website. I purchased the KC-Defense and started giving him 2 pinches a day on his tongue - that was about a week ago. He is doing much better. Maybe I should wait longer to write this testimonial, but I am so excited (plus he is running around the house like a kitten again) that I just had to write. Thank you for a wonderful product."Linda

What are the ingredients of KC-Defense?

KC-Defense contains the following 100% natural ingredients:

Ribwort Plantain

(Plantago lanceolata) is an herbal remedy well known for soothing the throat. It also helps to maintain clear, healthy chests, noses and throats. This herb is also approved by the German Commission E for internal use to soothe throats and the mucous membranes of the upper respiratory tract. Clinical studies have supported its effectiveness. (Wegener T, Kraft K. “Plantain (Plantago lanceolata L.): anti-inflammatory action in upper respiratory tract infections”. Wien Med Wochenschr 1999; 149(8-10):211-216.)

Bryonia (6C)

is a proven natural remedy which is very effective when used to soothe the throat and keep chests clear.

Eastern purple coneflower

(Echinacea purpurea) is one of the top selling herbs used to support the immune system. Clinical trials have proved its benefits in supporting the immune system. (Schoneberger D. “The influence of immune-stimulating effects of pressed juice from Echinacea purpurea on the course and severity of colds”. Results of double-blind study. Forum Immunol 1992; 8:2-12.) (Taylor JA, Weber W, Standish L, et al. “Efficacy and safety of echinacea in treating upper respiratory tract infections in children: a randomized controlled trial”. JAMA 12-3-2003; 290(21):2824-2830).

Ferrum phos (D6)

is one of the most important biochemic tissue salts to use when supporting immune system health, as it helps to maintain the distribution of iron and oxygen throughout the body and strengthen cell walls.

Kali sulph (D6)

is a biochemic tissue salt often used together with Ferrum phos and is well known for its benefits in supporting respiratory health.

Magnesium phosphate (D6)

(Mag. phos.) is naturally soothing and helps to maintain harmony and balance in the throat and chest.
