Glucocorticosteroid and bronchodilator aerosol medications delivered by metered dose inhalers (MDIs) or “puffers” are used to treat chronic bronchitis in humans, horses and cats. This method of delivering potent drugs by inhalation has replaced the need to use systemic corticosteroids in most cases. Click here to find out more about the AeroDawg CAC with Flow-Vu.
As typical MDIs propel a dose at speeds of over 60 mph, effective delivery of the medications to dogs without a delivery system is extremely difficult. In addition, a human patient can synchronise a deep breath with a puff of medication - the average canine cannot!

Inhaled corticosteroid medications can now be delivered effectively to dogs by using the AeroDawg Canine Aerosol Chamber (CAC). The aerosol approach facilitates the delivery of medications from the MDI (puffer) to the lungs and provides a therapeutic dose while greatly minimizing the risk of side-effects.
