We are excited to announce our collaborative clinical research with the University of Saskatchewan and the University of Calgary, focusing on NHV Resp-Aid and its effect on cat and dog asthma. Our in-house vet, Dr. Amanda Nascimento, led the research.
What is Cat & Dog Asthma?
Before all else, let’s first define this condition. Asthma is a serious form of respiratory disease-causing high mortality in the world. Resp-Aid, on the other hand, is an innovative proprietary formula developed by NHV Natural Pet Products to support respiratory disorders and bronchial infections.
The lungs from asthmatic animals treated with Resp-Aid showed considerably less inflammation and histopathology.
The blend is composed of 9 herbs: Coltsfoot (Tussilago farfar), Marshmallow (Althaea officilanes), Plantain (Pantago major), Mullein (Verbascum Thapsus), Horehound (Marrubium vulgare) and Licorice (Gycyrrhiza glabra), Lobelia (Lobelia inflata), Ginger (Zingiber officinale), Myrrh (Commiphora momol). These herbs have traditional been for respiratory treatments such as asthma to reduce coughing and phlegm/mucous production. They are also known to have anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory activities. However, the effects of these herbs in this formula for asthma have not been scientifically studied.
Research Objective, Material and Method
Based on the theoretical benefits of Resp-Aid, we conducted a series of studies to explore the efficacy, safety and mechanism of action of Resp-Aid. We hypothesized the treatment with Resp-Aid can alter pulmonary immune responses.
Therefore, to study this, we treated asthmatic and non-asthmatic animals with Resp-Aid.
They received 1 drop of Resp-Aid twice daily for 7 days. On day 7 of the treatment with Resp-Aid whole body plethysmography chambers* (WBP) were utilized measuring airway hyperresponsiveness** (AHR). Also, they are monitored for respiratory airflow. For understanding inflammatory differences between the groups, after the treatment with Resp-Aid bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) and lungs where examined.
*an instrument that measures the changes in volume within the organ
**a characteristic feature of asthma and consists of an increased sensitivity of the airways
Here Is What The Researchers Found:
Asthmatic animals that received Resp-Aid had lower AHR (They could breath better) compared to asthmatic animals that did not receive Resp-Aid (P<0.05).
Asthmatic animals that received Resp-Aid had lower total leukocytes (inflammatory cells) compared to asthmatic animals that did not receive Resp-Aid (P<0.05).
The lungs from asthmatic animals treated with Resp-Aid showed considerably less inflammation and histopathology compared with asthmatic animals’ lungs that did not receive Resp-Aid.
All in all, this data shows that Resp-Aid alleviates asthma. It may be a potential target for therapeutic intervention in allergic lung disease or asthma or other pulmonary infections.

What is Asthma in Cats and Dogs
Asthma in cats and dogs is a respiratory condition resulting from an allergic reaction. It happens when your furkid inhales an allergen, which causes the airways of their lungs to inflame and narrow. Consequently, it becomes more difficult for our furriends to breathe.
Asthma in cats will affect around 1-5% of our kitty friends. Even though asthma in dogs is more uncommon, our pups can also suffer from asthma attacks. Small and middle-aged dogs are usually at the highest risk for this condition.
Symptoms of Asthma in Dogs and Cats
Besides difficulty breathing, this recurring inflammation also results in various other symptoms:
- Frequent panting
- Lethargy
- Loss of appetite
- Blue or pale gums
- Wheezing
- Rapid or wide-mouth breathing
- Continuous coughing
- Abnormal chest expansion and contraction
If you notice these asthma signs, your little one is likely to have asthma. Please visit a vet immediately for a full body examination and a correct diagnosis. An earlier diagnosis can help your furkid get the right treatment sooner.

Kennel cough, is predominately found in dogs and is a respiratory infection caused by Bordetella bronchiseptica, adenovirus and canine parainfluenza virus. These pathogens attack the cilia lining of the respiratory tract causing inflammation of the upper airway, resulting in a cough. This irritation makes your dog susceptible to secondary infection. Kennel cough is extremely contagious. In some cases, the situation may be complicated by secondary bacterial pneumonia. Extra care is required to prevent pneumonia and improve breathing.
When a dog has kennel cough or has been in contact with an infected animal it is just as important to support their immune system as it is to address the symptoms of the cough itself.
NHV Resp-aid is a dog kennel cough supplement that helps to sooth the upper respiratory tract, reduce inflammation, fight infection and ease congestion.
NHV Stimmune combined with the NHV Resp-aid offers the most benefit and support. This herbal formula is a very effective immune booster. Packed full of herbs that have antibiotic and antiviral properties, Stimmune not only boosts the immune system, but also helps to fight and prevent secondary infections that are commonly associated with kennel cough.

How to Administer
Shake well before use. The easiest method is to use the dropper provided and place the drops into your pet’s food or favorite treat. You can also use the dropper and squirt directly into the pet’s mouth. Some pets can be finicky, if this occurs consider hiding the drops in foods most pet’s love such as fish, chicken or yogurt or a favorite treat. If your pet only eats dry food then soak a few kibbles at feeding time.

Description
Kennel cough, is predominately found in dogs and is a respiratory infection caused by Bordetella bronchiseptica, adenovirus and canine parainfluenza virus. These pathogens attack the cilia lining of the respiratory tract causing inflammation of the upper airway, resulting in a cough. This irritation makes your dog susceptible to secondary infection. Kennel cough is extremely contagious. In some cases, the situation may be complicated by secondary bacterial pneumonia. Extra care is required to prevent pneumonia and improve breathing.
When a dog has kennel cough or has been in contact with an infected animal it is just as important to support their immune system as it is to address the symptoms of the cough itself.
NHV Resp-aid is a dog kennel cough supplement that helps to sooth the upper respiratory tract, reduce inflammation, fight infection and ease congestion.
NHV Stimmune combined with the NHV Resp-aid offers the most benefit and support. This herbal formula is a very effective immune booster. Packed full of herbs that have antibiotic and antiviral properties, Stimmune not only boosts the immune system, but also helps to fight and prevent secondary infections that are commonly associated with kennel cough.

This seems misleading. This article is titled “Study on Resp-Aid Effect on Cat & Dog Asthma” but the linked study was on mice, not cats or dogs. One of the author vets works for NHV. Lobelia is toxic to cats.
Thank you for raising this — it’s an important question, and we appreciate the chance to clarify.
You are correct that the mechanistic portion of the research (the part investigating airway inflammation, cytokine activity, and lung tissue response) was conducted using a mouse asthma model. This is standard practice in both veterinary and human medicine, because rodent models allow researchers to study biological pathways with a level of precision that isn’t feasible in companion animals.
However, that laboratory model is only one part of the overall research.
Resp-Aid has also been evaluated directly in cats and dogs through real-world veterinary case follow-ups, observational studies, and field use. These assessments focus on safety, dosing, palatability, and clinical response in the species actually using the product. This companion-animal data is separate from the mechanistic work and provides essential insight into how the formula performs in practice.
We recognize that our current blog article emphasizes the mechanistic study and does not yet include the real-world clinical observations in pets. We’re updating the article now to clearly distinguish these two layers of research so readers have a complete and accurate picture of the evidence pathway:
-Foundational mechanistic study in a mouse asthma model
-Clinical and observational evaluation in real dogs and cats using Resp-Aid
-Both components contribute complementary information:
-The mechanistic work helps explain how and why the formula behaves the way it does.
-The companion-animal observations show what actually happens when dogs and cats use it under veterinary guidance.
Regarding the concern about an NHV veterinarian being an author: this affiliation is openly disclosed and is common in both supplement and pharmaceutical research. Formulation experts participate to ensure accuracy in how the product is used and interpreted. Importantly, peer review provides independent scientific oversight, helping to minimize bias regardless of author affiliation.
As for lobelia, you are right that raw lobelia plants can be toxic at high or uncontrolled doses. In Resp-Aid, the lobelia root extract is used in a very low, carefully controlled amount that falls within safety parameters for dogs and cats when used as directed. As with many therapeutic ingredients — herbal or pharmaceutical — dose, part used, and extration method are strong determination factors of toxicity. Our veterinary team formulates with wide safety margins, and we always recommend veterinary guidance for pets with complex respiratory conditions.
We truly appreciate your diligence. Questions like yours help us continuously improve how we communicate research so that it remains clear, transparent, and scientifically accurate — especially as we update the article to include both the mechanistic findings and the companion-animal data.
