How to Use AeroDawg*
Canine asthma is treated like asthma in humans - with corticosteroids to reduce inflammation and often bronchodilators to open the airways up during an asthma attack.
Since dogs can't use a puffer or metered dose inhaler the same way humans do, they need a chamber, also called a spacer, with a mask.
There are many ways to help your dog get used to using their inhaler and AeroDawg* Chamber, including playing, hugs and treats. The AeroDawg* Chamber also allows you to "puff" the inhaler medication into the chamber away from your dog to avoid making a sound your dog may not understand or like.
Once you've followed our tips and tricks to get your dog used to the inhaler, don't be surprised if your dog comes running when it's time to give them their medication. With a little practice and love, this becomes an easy part of helping your dog lead a healthy and happy life.
