What is the AeroKat Feline Aerosol Chamber for Cats?
- The AeroKat Feline Aerosol Chamber delivers inhaled medication into your cat's lungs to help them breathe easier.
- The AeroKat Feline Aerosol Chamber is designed for puffer or Metered Dose Inhalers to administer aerosol medications.
Why is the AeroKat Feline Aerosol Chamber used for cats?
- The AeroKat Feline Aerosol Chamber makes administering aerosol medications easier by combining a special chamber and a contoured mask that work together with a prescription "puffer" inhaler.
- The mask fits snuggly over your cat's mouth and nose, and the convenient Flow-vu indicator moves with respiration so you can track the dosage your cat receives.
- The aerosol medication mixes with air in the chamber and helps ensure that your cat will breathe the drug into the lungs instead of swallowing it.
What else should I know about the AeroKat Feline Aerosol Chamber?
- AeroKat works with most puffer or Metered Dose Inhalers (MDI).
- AeroKat does not work with dry-powder inhalers.
- The Flow-vu indicator takes the guesswork of dosing.
- AeroKat is easy to clean.
- The chamber comes with two mask sizes to fit any cat.
- The medication is sold separately.
- Metered Dose Inhalers can be prescribed by your veterinarian and purchased from VetRxDirect.
- It is recommended the AeroKat Chamber be replaced every 12 months. With daily use, medication can deposit on the valves creating a whitish film. This build-up could lead to suboptimal performance over time. To help ensure optimal drug delivery the manufacturer recommends the AeroKat chamber be replaced annually.
- The AeroKat comes with two sizes of feline masks – approximately 1.5" and 2" in diameter - to fit most cats. A larger 3" mask can be purchased separately.
- You can check the size you need by printing this AeroKat Mask Sizer (PDF)
What problems could my cat have with the AeroKat Feline Aerosol Chamber?
- With daily use, medication can deposit on the valves creating a whitish film. This build-up could lead to suboptimal performance over time. Make sure that you clean the AeroKat regularly and replace it yearly.
How do you use the AeroKat Feline Aerosol Chamber?
- This device should be used only on the recommendation of your veterinarian. Consult with your veterinarian for advice and instructions.

Will I get what I see in the picture?
- AeroKat is a brand name. You will receive the exact brand that you request.

Controlled My Cat's Suffering
I have been using the AeroKat Asthma Chamber for over 7 years now. �I had 2 cats that suffered from asthma (and suffering it myself, it broke my heart knowing how they felt). �Prior to AeroKat, they were getting Depo shots every 3 months, so they had to be tested for diabetes, etc. �It also caused them great stress going to the vet for a shot so often.
I expected to have a severe problem getting them to accept the inhalater, but letting them smell it for several days it turned out to be no problem. �With the AeroKat Chamber, the medication is going directly into their lungs where they need it, and not throughout their bodies and causing damage to other organs. �
Bless you Trudell for this wonderful invention!

ATTENTION ALL ORIENTAL SHORTHAIR & SIAMESE OWNERS!!
I cannot say whether the AeroKat on its own is a good or bad product, but what I can say is that if you have an Oriental Shorthair (or Siamese I would imagine), even the small mask may not be a tight, and sealed fit. Not sure if it has more to do with the long muzzle, or the general size of my kitty's face. We haven't even started the meds yet, but we have been training with the small mask for a while now. My cat is usually pretty compliant with meds, and things being done to her, but even with treat rewards, she is not adapting well to the mask. Could be because the mask ends up fitting her all the way to her eyes. This is very frustrating, as I really would like to see if the meds help her extremely bad coughing, and assumed asthma. I'm giving the product three stars, only because it SEEMS like a good idea. Sorry, if you have an "angle head" style cat, and this discourages you. I just know I would have liked a warning before getting my hopes up.

If your cat needs an inhaler, this is the one.
From UndisclosedComments about AeroKat Feline Aerosol Chamber, Flow-Vu Indicator, Two MasksThis is really great. There are a lot of videos online that demonstrate how to use this. It takes three adults to hold my cat down and administer this but I think it will get better over time. There is a little green flap in this device that shows you how many breaths your cat has taken which is vey helpful. -
Wonderful product.

Q & A

Is the measurement of 1.5" for the small mask the inside or outside measurement. I was told to buy the small one. The one we're using is 1.5" for the inner measurement.?
-
The Aerokat masks are measured by their inner diameter, so you would need the small mask which is 1.5 inches.

How long will this product last per unit? (How many dosages, I have to give my cat 2 dosage per day.?
-
The manufacturer states that the AeroKat should be replaced after 12 months of continuous use. It does not matter how many doses are given during those 12 months. It should be replaced immediately if it appears broken or damaged. In order for the product to work well for a full 12 months, the AeroKat should be cleaned before the first use and then once weekly. Follow manufacturer guides when cleaning the AeroKat.

we just started using this on my asthmatic cat. We counted the flapper and she took her 5 breathes. We used it on her 2 times now today the flapper wouldn't move, I know I had a good seal around her mouth and nose. We did see condensation (breath) but the flapper would not move. Is she getting the medication or is there something wrong with the mouthpiece. It is a brand new inhaler. We did have it for 2 years but it was never used until now. Any info would be appreciated.?
-
It's best to wash the device following the directions included with the product and found here on the product page. After washing, dry with the flap open to solve the issue. The flap is called the flow-vu indicator. It is a visual cue to the pet's care giver that the pet has taken a breath. It does not impact the delivery of medication to your pet.

Hold the mask in place for 5 to 6 breaths. Cleaning Instructions: The chamber should be cleaned weekly 1. Carefully disassemble the chamber a. Remove the back piece. b.
