Supporting the respiratory system
Respiratory health in pets involves taking a holistic approach in order to address the occasional minor cough, as well as the health of the nose, throat and chest.
In fact, any place where animals tend to congregate – even when going for a walk in the park – can pose a risk. For this reason, maintaining peak health in the respiratory and immune systems is very important in the quest to keep your pets healthy.
The natural way
In the wild, animals instinctively seek out plants that will help to support health in various body systems. It therefore makes sense that as owners, we can help our domestic pets by making herbal and other natural supplements available to them.
As part of a holistic approach to pet health, natural remedies can help to support your pet's immune system, help with the routine elimination of toxins, and generally maintain the overall health of your animal.
What is KC-Defense?
KC-Defense is a 100% natural upper respiratory remedy to 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.
KC-Defense may be used before a stay in kennels or catteries or for more immediate support when needed.
How has KC-Defense helped others?
“KC-Defense worked like a charm! I administered the granules at hourly intervals to those worse affected and to those that were not as bad, 3 times a day. They are over the worst of it but still coughing slightly. They should be good to go by the end of the week. Thank you, PetAlive! You have saved me from exorbitant vet bills and many sleepless nights!”
—Lyndol L., ZA
“I can recommend the KC-Defense as a very effective remedy. It has worked for our dog very quickly and I thank you!”

“We adopted our baby Boxer from a pet store … and used your KC-Defense, in combination with the Immunity & Liver Support (and) she was noticeably better in 1-2 days! Thank you PetAlive!”
—Sharon, MD, USA
“We rescued a …9 week old male Pom...We decided to just give KC-Defense a try. Within just two days, we saw immediate results. Now at 3 weeks, he is doing great. THANK YOU!! He is now a robust little guy that is so much fun.”
—Patricia, TX, USA
“I adopted 2 kittens (brother & sister) from the local SPCA... In desperation, I looked on the internet and found your website. I purchased the KC-Defense and started giving him 2 pinches a day on his tongue - that was about a week ago. He is doing much better. Maybe I should wait longer to write this testimonial, but I am so excited (plus he is running around the house like a kitten again) that I just had to write. Thank you for a wonderful product.”

KC-Defense contains the following ingredients:
- Plantago lanceolata is an herbal remedy well known for soothing the throat. It also helps to maintain clear, healthy chests, noses and throats. This herb 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 purpurea is one of the top selling herbs and is 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 phosphate (D6) (Ferrum phos.) 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.
- Kalium sulphate (D6) (Kali. sulph.) This biochemic tissue salt is often used together with Ferrum phos. and is well known for its benefits in supporting respiratory health.
- Magnesium phosphate (D6) (Mag. phos.) is naturally soothing and helps to maintain harmony and balance in the throat and chest.
- Lactose (inactive ingredient)
