Respiratory health through systemic support
There are many ways in which respiratory health can be encouraged in dogs and cats. A pet should be given a healthy balanced diet all year round and unhealthy treats should be avoided.
Regular exercise will help to promote respiratory health in your pet. However, pets of advanced age should be allowed to rest and be given ample opportunity for quality sleep. Don’t over exert a pet – especially if they don’t quite seem themselves.
The natural way
Natural remedies can help to strengthen the respiratory system, including the nose, throat and lungs and promote a healthy immune system. Natural remedies have also been used for generations to encourage respiratory health and support the lungs and sinuses.
What is Respo-K?
Respo-K is a 100% natural, safe and effective herbal and homeopathic remedy for promoting respiratory health and immune function in pets.
Respo-K can be used to strengthen your pet's immune system; promote respiratory function and help prevent the recurrence of secondary infections of the sinuses or lungs.
How has Respo-K helped others?
“My three year old Mini Pin has had ongoing problems with runny eyes, sneezing and every now and then a cough or two. I bought the Respo-K and two days in he is better! This is the greatest product ever!!! Thanks PetAlive and Native Remedies.”
—Gina G., GA, USA
“I wanted to write and tell you about my experience with your natural remedies. I am a big cat-lover and have a house full of pets. Your PetAlive has become one of my favorite websites and I’ve ordered a number of different remedies for my extended “family”. Although I have been happy with everything I’ve ordered from you I must specifically comment on your Respo-K and Sinu-Rite products. I have one cat that often needs respiratory support. Last time I gave her Respo-K and Sinu-Rite and she bounced right back. I continued to give her the remedies for a little while after she was well again and she has been great. She actually seems much stronger and healthier overall. I am going to make sure I always have stock of these remedies in my house from now on!”
—Moira H.
“About two years ago… I came across your web site and ordered the Respo-K just to have on-hand. After the stress of moving, Max came down with… coughing, runny nose and wheezing. I tried the Respo-K and after 3-4 days he was feeling much better. I was so thankful for your product I am [going] back tonight to order more”

More information
Dietary recommendations for optimal health and immune functioning:
- Many holistic vets will agree that the more raw food (as opposed to cooked meals or dried commercial pet food) the animal eats, the fewer general health problems there will be. Ideally the best diet for a cat or dog is one which most closely resembles that which he would find in the wild.
- For cats, who are largely carnivorous, this should consist of mainly raw meat (minced beef and chicken, chicken livers) mixed with a little bone meal and a small amount of some grated carrot or finely chopped greens like spinach.
- Dogs will do well if more chopped and grated raw vegetables are added to their diets. We also recommend raw meat and raw bones for dogs, mixed with grated raw vegetables and chopped salads.
- A teaspoon or two of olive oil added to the meal every day (depending on size) will also be beneficial. Do not give your animals any milk at all - nor products containing sugar.
- Remember that you should not try to change your pet's diet overnight, especially if the animal is elderly. Slowly introduce new foods and allow the digestive system to become accustomed to the new diet.
How long does one bottle last?
One bottle of 125 tablets will last between one and 6 weeks, depending on the size and dosage needs of your pet.
