Frequently Asked Questions about Expectorants for Dogs
What are expectorants for dogs?
Expectorants for dogs are medications used to increase the output and expulsion of bronchial secretions. They help congested dogs clear away mucus in the lungs for easier breathing and reduced cough, just like human expectorants do. However, you should only give your dog expectorants made specifically for dogs, and do so only under the guidance of your vet.
Do I need a prescription for dog expectorants?
You do need a prescription for dog expectorants. See your vet for an exam and diagnosis if your dog is experiencing coughing or congestion.
