AeroKat*

Works very well. Easy to use and apply to kitty cat. My cat not thrilled with it. So I can utilize with one hand on cat and one on device. But I like how you can see cat take breath of medicine to ensure it is given properly. My cat holds its breath at first. Stubborn. But each breath the tiny flap moves. Point down to cat so medicines goes to cats nose. Hold back up just a little. Downhill method. Soft nose applicator for comfort. Covers cat nose and mouth well..

My cat has just been diagnosed with asthma, so I ordered this device to deliver the medication. It is SO easy to use, very clean instructions, and works like a charm after getting your cat used to it. Right now, it is a lifesaver in many ways. Very good product which I highly recommend.

It’s expensive but it’s worth it. It has been a year since we’ve bought this and i’ve have no issues with the product. This has been a serious lifesaver for my cat.

This review will contain my opinion of and experience with the AeroKat device but also hopefully some tips to help you get the most out of it. One of my kitties has asthma. It was previously seasonal and I would just give her prednisolone for a few weeks each year (properly tapering the dose, of course) and she would be OK. For some reason, this year, she was not getting better, despite all of my other efforts: low-dust, unscented litter; removal of air fresheners from the rooms where she spends the most time; lysine to treat her feline herpes; a diet to get rid of some of her excess weight, etc. So, I took her to the vet and we were prescribed Flovent (I get a generic from Canada, but the inhaler looks pretty much like in the official product image and it fits perfectly into the chamber). This particular cat doesn't do well on prednisolone -- she gets an electrolyte imbalance and has some urinary tract issues when she is on it for long -- so it was important to get her off the drug. That meant using the inhaler. My vet specifically recommended this brand over any other. That may be because it's the only brand she had heard of, but I went with her professional recommendation. This comes with two masks. We are using the smaller one for my cat, but she has kind of a small head. It does a good job of covering her mouth and nose. It is some type of silicone and is easy to clean. (You should clean this item about once a week. You don't want your kitty with a sensitive respiratory system to be inhaling germs!) It is also easy to attach to the chamber part of the device. For a couple of weeks while I waited for my first inhaler to arrive, I merely did what I could to get my cat used to the device. You should know that this particular cat is VERY food-motivated. So what I would do is give her some treats to distract her while my husband prepared the AeroKat device. We would then hold it on her face, working up to 10 seconds. Then I would give her more treats while my husband put it away. (It doesn't really matter what the treats are. Just use something your cat already likes anyway.) I really did find that this device required two people. My husband sort of straddles the cat while on his knees and holds her head in place, while I hold the AeroKat up to her face and press the inhaler. I think it would be difficult for either of us to do this alone. (We have another cat who requires a lot of eye drops and we developed a procedure for giving him his eye drops that we have adapted to use with this aerosol chamber.) On the other hand, this cat is feisty and active and we have both been bitten and scratched a few times, but mostly now that she is used to the procedure, it goes smoothly. We have found that it is helpful to do the inhaler FIRST, before any other treatments. (This particular cat gets the inhaler twice a day. She is also getting a potassium gel right now to help improve her electrolyte situation, and some days she is still getting prednisolone, since we are tapering her back off that now that we have the inhaler.) When we would try to do the inhaler after the gel and/or pills, she would fight us more. So, inhaler first. There is a projection near the end of the tube where you attach the mask, where there is a little green silicone flap or membrane. When the cat is breathing into the device, this will move. Our goal is to have her wear the mask and breathe for 10 seconds, but we are usually happy if she takes at least a couple of breaths after the inhaler has been discharged. Watching this flap is super helpful (if the flap is not moving, the inhaler contents may not be getting to the cat's lungs, so this is important). Anyway, with proper preparation and training/bribing of the cat, this is easy to use. It is also easy to clean and it fits our inhaler perfectly. It is made of durable materials. And it is enabling me to get this cat off prednisolone, which seems particularly damaging to her system.

This was an amazing intervention for my cat! With training, he really took well to the inhaler. I used Churu to put around the inside and puffed the medication. Over time, he got super desensitized and doesn't even flinch when there is a puff and will continue licking his Churu.

This inhaler is relatively easy to use. it's a clever design. It may take time to get a cat to submit to it. My own cat who is pretty highly strung took over two weeks before she was willing to accept it, so it was a bit of a struggle at first. And most of that time the flapper didn't work because she would breathe very shallowly when I applied the mask. So I just listened to her and counted breaths that way. But now (with ample use of a yummy treat as a reward each time) she is calm and breathes naturally and it's working out great.

My cat takes this well and is comfortable and easy to use. Works well and a good fit.

Worked great for 2 years and had to replace. My 1st cat inhaler so I don't know what the average life is. Easy to disassemble and clean but hard to dry. Doesn't work if it's not fully dry. I guess at the price point I expected better. Replaced with a cheaper version. Hoping it works just as well.

Cet inhalateur pour chat est vraiment super. Il est bien adapté à la morphologie du chat et est livré avec deux embouts, un petit et un plus gros, permettant de choisir celui qui épousera le mieux le nez et la bouche du chat. Ma minette étant asthmatique nous devons lui faire des inhalations deux fois par jour, le vétérinaire nous avait recommandé un inhalateur pour nourrisson (beaucoup moins cher que les inhalateurs spécial pour félin), mais qui s'avère être inefficace car pas du tout adapté. En bref produit cher, mais parfait pour les bronches de votre petit félin, en plus la valve permet vraiment de voir que le produit est correctement inhalé par votre compagnon.

One of my cats was recently diagnosed with asthma, and he's also the type that doesn't like being told what to do and when, which results in him choosing to hold his breath instead of inhaling and getting that sweet sweet anti-wheeze medicine. The aerokat is expensive, but let me tell you, it fitting his face AND having the little indicator that tells me if he's inhaled has made it a game changer. He can no longer fool me into thinking he's breathing, I cannot be deceived! And for that, his asthma is much better controlled. Worth the money for the indicator alone.

Great for my cat, easy to clean and us, very sturdy product to ensure the cat gets all of the inhaler, easy assembly and comes with 2 different sizes of mask to meet your pets needs depending on their size

うちの愛猫が喘息となり獣医の方から吸引器を購入してねと言われてこちらを購入、 吸引器は凄く安いものからこちらのように高い物までいろいろあり、獣医さんも高い方がいいよというアドバイスやレビューも読んでこちらを選びましたが、正解だったようです、 他の商品と比較した訳ではありませんが口元へ当てるシリコンのカップの形状などが高い商品はきっと良くて猫に抵抗がなく吸引させることができるんだと思います、 ただ、日本語の説明書などがなく動画などで使い方を探す羽目になりました、
