Curious about the coltsfoot benefits for pets? You’re not alone!
Coltsfoot has been used for centuries to support respiratory health as an expectorant – something that helps loosen phlegm from the lungs and airways. And when used synergistically with other herbs, like those found in NHV Resp-Aid, it can be used on pets as well – with one important thing to note!
Read on to discover how this herb may support your pet’s wellness in more ways than one.
Coltsfoot is a small, yellow-flowered herb that often blooms in early spring – sometimes even before its leaves appear. That’s why it is sometimes called the ‘Son-Before-Father plant’. It tends to grow in damp areas, like riverbanks or roadsides. Don’t mistake coltsfoot for dandelions. Even though they look similar, they have very different herbal properties.

The plant may get its name from the shape of its leaves, which resemble a horse’s hoof. But that’s not the only thing that makes it special. Coltsfoot has a long history of use as a traditional natural medicine. And due to coltsfoot’s benefits for pets, pet parents are using coltsfoot-containing supplements on their furry friends.
Most commonly, this herb is valued for its expectorant and tissue-soothing properties.
As an expectorant, coltsfoot may help loosen and expel excess phlegm from the lungs and airways, making it easier for your pet to breathe comfortably. At the same time, its soothing qualities can help reduce irritation in the respiratory tract, offering gentle relief during bouts of coughing or congestion.
As a tissue-calming herb, coltsfoot may help soothe irritation in the respiratory tract – particularly the kind that comes with persistent coughing. This calming effect is largely due to its natural compounds, such as mucilage, which coats and protects delicate tissues.
However, tissue soothing and phlegm loosening aren’t the only benefits that coltsfoot may hold. It also has been studied for its anti-inflammatory, brain-protective, and antioxidant qualities.
One study suggests that coltsfoot may be a successful intervention for chronic coughs
One study suggests that coltsfoot may help chronic coughs – and holds other promising benefits! For instance, it seemed to prevent damage to the brain caused by low blood flow while also reducing inflammation. In pets with trouble breathing, that could be a game-changer!
Coltsfoot also contains flavonoids. Flavanoids are a class of plant compounds offers antioxidants, which protect cells from damage caused by free radicals
In another study, they found that tussilagone, an organic compound in coltsfoot, helped to reduce inflammation.
While the potential benefits of coltsfoot are numerous, selecting the right coltsfoot supplement for pets will truly make all the difference.
It is noted that some coltsfoot contains pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs). These are naturally occurring plant compounds that are not suitable for pets with liver issues. That is why we recommend against supplementing unprocessed coltsfoot for pets at home.

Instead, choose a supplement that addresses this potential issue, like those from NHV. We source our coltsfoot from low-PA suppliers – the kind that ensures that the growing conditions result in minimal PA content. Additionally, we perform testing and purification to ensure the final extract is safe for pets. For instance, the coltsfoot used in NHV Resp-Aid has been carefully selected and processed to minimize or eliminate this risk, and is safe for long-term use.
That’s because NHV supplements are formulated by a holistic veterinarian and a master herbalist, bringing together over 50 years of combined expertise in plant-based remedies and pet health. Each formula is crafted specifically for pets, with careful attention to their unique needs and physiologies.
Always be sure to give coltsfoot in the appropriate quantities. NHV has handy dosing guides for each supplement on our supplements and on our packaging, and the herbs inside are safe even at three times the recommended daily dose. Like for any herbal supplement, it is best to consult a veterinarian before giving something new to a pregnant or lactating animal, since their needs are different.
Coltsfoot is used in pet-safe quantities in NHV Resp-Aid, a vet-approved supplement to support breathing and lungs. Its main function in this completely natural formula is as an expectorant. Basically, it may loosen up the phlegm that blocks your pet from breathing more easily.
It also contains eight other pet-safe herbs, such as lobelia and marshmallow root, for anti-inflammation, soothing, and overall respiratory support. Thanks to these properties, Resp-Aid may be used for pets with coughs, congestion, and bronchitis. It can also be used for everyday stuffy noses caused by respiratory infection or allergies. Research has shown that Resp-Aid was also effective at supporting animals with asthma!

Tracheal Collapse Support for Pets
Tracheal collapse is an acquired, non-congenital disease. It can occur in the neck region, within the chest, where the trachea is located, or in both locations. The cartilage rings of the trachea (windpipe) are shaped like the letter C, lying on its back. A small membrane covers the top of the ring. The cartilage loses its rigidity, and the membrane stretches. For this reason, the rings may collapse, the windpipe flattened, and mild to severe obstruction of the airway may develop.
The cause is not well understood, but proposed theories include genetic factors such as breed, nutritional influences, neurologic problems, and degeneration of the tracheal cartilages.
