PetAlive Sinu-Rite for Dogs & Cats - Nasal Congestion Relief - 180 Tablets | Supports Relief from Dog Sinus Congestion, Runny Nose, Facial Pressure, Dog Sneezing Treatment with Sambucus, Made in USA

We are multi-cat household of 7 kitties and recently purchased PetAlive Sinu-Rite for one of our Companion pets, Panda, a neighborhood rescue, who was diagnosed a few months ago, at six months of age, with the Feline Herpes virus, also known as feline viral rhinopneumonitis (FVR). Anyone reading this and familiar with the symptoms of this disease is aware that coughing, sneezing, watery eyes, runny, snotty nose and a chronic nasal congestion are all part of the territory, along with reduced appetite. Definitely not fun for baby Kitty in our multi-cat household and causes much stress and consternation among pet guardians such as myself. A trip to the Vet began a treatment of antibiotics over a period of 3 months. My Vet first started her on a dosage of the antibiotic Clavomox and then when that proved ineffective, a few months later, the more powerful, Zeniquin was prescribed. Both antibiotics had varying degrees of effectiveness but eventually Panda's symptoms returned and she became even sicker. My Vet wisely decided to discontinue prescribing any further antibiotics due in part to Panda's less than robust immune system's ability to fight off the infection.It was during this time I began a lengthy amount of research and study on this disease and was disappointed by the lack of any known cure. After visiting several cat sites and forums as well as veterinarian medical websites, I became aware that the treatment methodology that seemed to give the best results consisted of a combination of L-Lsyine and Sinu-Rite tablets. This methodology may vary for others who might try this but we did this for two weeks straight. My wife and I started her on 3x daily dosage of 2mL-Lsyine, a vital amino acid, from Enisyl-F, administered by needle-less syringe pump, along with administering the Sinu-Rite tablets 4x daily over an 8 hour period. In case you are wondering, we choose the Enisyl-F because of its more concentrated formula. Thankfully, Panda had been trained by my wife to take other medicines orally and so she was able to take the Sinu-Rite tablets by mouth without much fuss.Within a matter of a few days following her treatment, Panda's condition gradually began to show a marked improvement as her symptoms of sneezing, watery eyes, coughing, runny, snotty nose and nasal congestion began to dissipate. Over the next several more weeks that followed, her overall symptoms subsided considerably. As of today, we have cut back on the L-Lysine to 1x daily at the recommended dosage of 2mL but have continued with the Sinu-Rite at 2x daily only as a precaution. I think we will eventually stop the Sinu-Rite but keep it handy at the slightest hint of any flare up. I am so happy and relieved to report her appetite has returned to normal and she is eating well and happily playing with our other cat kids. My message here is that every case of treating the symptoms of this dreadful disease maybe different but it definitely requires patience and persistence as the keys to treating and controlling the symptoms and because there is no cure, you have to remember to continue with the treatments in order to give the medicine combo time to work.

My 14 yr old cat developed such bad sinusitis he could barely breathe. Sounded like he was snoring very loudly and even did open-mouth breathing and puffing at times.He lost his appetite and his coat "stared" and looked terrible. He stopped meowing.I brought him to the vet several times. We tried several different types of antibiotics, Depo shots, and Prenisolone tabs.He was on Prednisolone tabs every other day, but he continued to deteriorate--he looked miserable and had refused to eat for several days. I was getting ready to go away on vacation and found myself worrying that I might have to put him down if he didn't start eating before I left.I found the Sinu-Rite and decided--what have I got to lose?I added one Sinu-Rite tab three times a day ( up to four if he sounded really bad) to the Prednisolone ( which was still every other day). Within 24 hrs his appetite returned with a vengeance!While I was away, I dropped it down to one tab am and pm to make it easier for the petsitter( along with the Pred every other day). He was fine while I was gone. Hallelujah!Since I've come back, he's continued to improve. He still has episodes of noisy breathing, but his periods of relaxed, quiet breathing have increased.His appetite is incredible--he's hungry all the time! His coat looks awesome, and his energy and playfulness have returned!His nose has started to discharge some of the junk that had been blocking it, so I'm hoping for further improvement.I'm now weaning him off the Prednisolone and will keep him on the Sinu-Rite one tab three times a day.I'm told this is a chronic problem that he'll have the rest of his life. So we'll take it day to day. But I'm hoping for continued improvement.Good luck to all who have kitties with this...it's very frustrating.Sinu-Rite is definitely worth a try!

I have tried everything to keep my 8 year old Beagle from sneezing herself to death. Have spent thousands of dollars trying to figure out what is wrong with her nasal passages. She would sneeze, cough and sound like an old man with COPD. I couldn't give her any more antihistamines.We had tried everything on the market and nothing worked. It took about 2 days of these tablets and what a huge difference they have made! The initial impact on her was amazing.....seemed to clear her up. After a few weeks on the tabs, she has a bit of congestion but nothing like she had before.You do have to adjust the amount of tabs from time to time, which is not a big deal. This is an all natural product so I am not worried about over-dosing and I can tell if I am under-dosing as she starts to sneeze some. She is playing and running in the yard, chasing the cat, and is back to her 2 mile walk every day. If any of you ever had a beagle, you will understand that they NEED activity. At her worst, we couldn't make it a half a block and we would have to come back home. She just wouldn't stop coughing and sneezing. She rarely does the beagle "backward sneeze" any more either and she has done this all her life.I will continue her on these tabs for as long as they are contributing to her quality of life. I would suggest anyone give this a try.

This item was completely ineffective to help with anything in my dog that it advertises that it helps.A complete farse of a product.

My cat was becoming anorexic when I started this product. He had a huge pocket of mucus on his face that drained the first few days. His appetite has improved and he has less sinus blockage issues. He cannot detect the taste when its crushed into a powder and mixed in wet food. Definitely reordering.

So this product works like a charm if you give the full five doses. I've given it less and have ended up having to give more steroids which is what I'm trying to limit. I still have to give steroids, but I've been able to cut them down to every three or four days which eliminates their toxic side effects. I am lucky that I am in a position right now that I'm able to give the full five doses of Sinu-Rite, but most people aren't. Though, if you gave one first thing in a.m., then another before you leave, then as soon as you get home and one before bed you could come close. Here's something I haven't seen in the reviews though. I live in California and we have stricter toxic additives laws. So on the invoice because of Proposition 65 here in California, they have to disclose that there is something in this product that is a known cancer causing agent. I contacted Miles-Kimball and they said even naturally occurring substances have to be declared because of the law and that the product is very safe. They did not tell me what the ingredient was. My dog is 17, so I weighed the pros and cons, ran it by my doctor and decided she was more likely to suffer ill effects from frequent steroid use then these. Even if this does cause cancer it would take years to develop which most likely my girl doesn't have. But if I had a young animal, I don't know that I would risk it. I think California is the only state that has to declare it, so just a heads up for the rest of the country. I gave it four stars because it works great, but because of the uncertainty of whatever ingredient is involved I couldn't give it five.

My dog struggles with allergies and these are one of the only add ons to his regular allergy meds that helps him clear out his sinuses

Animals have allergies too I noticed that my dog was storing a bit loud the other night so I decided to get something to clear out her chest so that she wouldn't suffer.This seems to have worked.

great stuff i always buy this for my dogs when summer comes

Our cat (James) was hit by a car a year ago which impacted his sinuses. After two surgeries (with huge vet bills) he was still having trouble breathing and was continuously on antibiotics for sinus infections. When the vet suggested yet another surgical procedure I decided to research pro-biotic solutions -- I take an ear-nose-and-throat pro-biotic myself and have found it very helpful in preventing colds, so wondered if there was a similar remedy for cats -- and there was!After giving James PetAlive Sinu-Rite for a week his sinuses were decongested, and he hasn't needed antibiotics or another trip to the vet since (6 months and counting). We used these pills daily for a month or so initially, but now only use them if he seems a bit snuffly, which is not very often.An extra bonus is that he doesn't seem to mind taking the pills (we use a pill popper).

Even that these were very small I still had to crush the tablet , just my fussy border collie, they seem to worked worked alongside paw and nose paste .

I bought this for my cat which has problems with his nosebut it has not helped him will not buy again
