3. What exactly does KC-Defense do?

KC-Defense is a safe, non-addictive, FDA registered natural remedy containing 100% homeopathic ingredients selected to relieve and soothe dry, hacking coughing & sneezing in pets that are kenneled, and in those that are not.

KC-Defense combines herbal ingredients with selected biochemic tissue salts for the support of the respiratory system (chest, airways and throat) and as a tonic for the immune system – thereby helping to maintain vitality and wellness by promoting health in these important body structures.

By supporting immune system health, you can also feel more confident when your pet has to go into environments like kennels, catteries or other places.

4. What does KC-Defense contain?

KC-Defense contains the following homeopathic ingredients:

• Plantago (3X) is a homeopathic remedy well known for soothing the throat. It also helps to maintain clear, healthy chests, noses and throats. Plantago is also approved by the German Commission E for internal use to soothe throats and the mucous membranes of the upper respiratory tract. Clinical studies have supported its effectiveness. (Wegener T, Kraft K. "Plantain (Plantago lanceolata L.): anti-inflammatory action in upper respiratory tract infections". Wien Med Wochenschr 1999;149(8-10):211-216.)
• Bryonia (6C) is a proven natural remedy which is very effective when used to soothe the throat and keep chests clear.
• Echinacea purp (3X) is one of the top selling ingredients used to support the immune system. Clinical trials have proved its benefits in supporting the immune system. (Schoneberger D. "The influence of immune-stimulating effects of pressed juice from Echinacea purpurea on the course and severity of colds". Results of double-blind study. Forum Immunol 1992;8:2-12.) (Taylor JA, Weber W, Standish L, et al. "Efficacy and safety of echinacea in treating upper respiratory tract infections in children: a randomized controlled trial". JAMA 12-3-2003;290(21):2824-2830).
• Ferrum phos (6C) is one of the most important biochemic tissue salts to use when supporting immune system health, as it helps to maintain the distribution of iron and oxygen throughout the body and strengthen cell walls.
• Kali sulph (6C) is a biochemic tissue salt that is often used together with Ferrum phos and is well known for its benefits in supporting respiratory health.
• Mag phos (6C) is naturally soothing and helps to maintain harmony and balance in the throat and chest.
• Sucrose (inactive ingredient)

12. What else can I do to help my pet?

• Ensure your pet is eating a balanced, high quality diet with plenty of raw and unprocessed food (preferably organic).

• Use KC-Defense capsules to boost your pet's immune functioning and resistance against disease and infection.

• Avoid exposure to toxins and chemicals as much as possible including pesticides, herbicides, commercial flea collars, flea powder, insecticides and second-hand cigarette smoke.

• If going to boarding kennels causes your pet undue stress, consider investigating other options. Stress can weaken your pet's immune system and make him more susceptible to infection.

• Talk to a holistic vet before immunizing your pet. Over-vaccination may stress the immune system unnecessarily.

• Regular exercise will help to keep your pet's immune system in tiptop form.

• Small doses of ready-made herbal cough mixtures may ease your pet's cough.
