Airways, dust and pollen

Sensitive airways almost always follow the season or the stable. Dust from hay and straw in winter, pollen in spring, damp in autumn. Find the trigger and you solve half the problem before any herb is involved.

The environment first

Wet or steamed hay does more than any supplement. Fresh straw, keep air moving through the stable, and avoid sweeping while the animals are inside.

In dogs, smoke, strong cleaning products and plug-in fragrances are the most underestimated irritants.

Two formulas, two situations

Respiration supports the airways and the self-cleaning capacity of the mucous membranes, the choice when mucus forms and a cough lingers.

Xanthis is made for sensitivity to pollen and dust: the seasonal sneezing, the runny nose and the cough that appears around dusty feed. The two combine well.
