Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is Throat Gold for cats used for?
Ans: Throat Gold is a veterinarian-formulated supplement designed to support your cat's throat health and upper respiratory immune function. Its demulcent herbs, rich in mucilage, soothe occasional cough discomfort, maintain healthy throat tissue, and calm occasional hoarseness from environmental factors or daily life.
Q2: What are the active ingredients in Throat Gold for cats?
Ans: Throat Gold for cats contains four active herbs: Slippery Elm bark, Usnea thallus, Mullein leaf, and Deglycyrrhizinated Licorice root extract. Inactive ingredients are deionized water, natural bacon flavor, and vegetable glycerin. These herbs are classified as demulcents, rich in protective plant mucilage.
Q3: How do I give Throat Gold to my cat?
Ans: Administer Throat Gold to your cat twice daily during or after mealtime. Cats 10 lbs and under receive 0.5 ml per dose; cats over 10 lbs receive 0.75 ml. Allow at least one hour between this supplement and any other medications your cat is taking.
Q4: How long does the 2 oz bottle of Throat Gold for cats last?
Ans: The 2 oz (59 ml) bottle of Throat Gold is a one-to-two-month supply for most cats, depending on weight. Cats 10 lbs and under (0.5 ml twice daily) get roughly two months; cats over 10 lbs (0.75 ml twice daily) get roughly one month.
Q5: Can Throat Gold be used alongside prescribed medications for cats?
Ans: Throat Gold can be given alongside prescribed respiratory medications as directed by your veterinarian. However, drug absorption may be delayed when taken at the same time, so always allow at least one hour between Throat Gold and other medications your cat receives.
Q6: What is the difference between Throat Gold and Lung Gold for cats?
Ans: While Throat Gold works on the upper respiratory tract to support the throat and trachea, Lung Gold is built to support immune defenses in the lower respiratory system. If your cat's issues are in the lower airways rather than the throat, Lung Gold is the more appropriate option.
Q7: How does Slippery Elm help cats with throat irritation?
Ans: The high mucilage content in Slippery Elm bark becomes gel-like when wet, forming a natural protective layer over irritated throat tissue. This soothing coating helps support normal comfort and healthy throat function, which is why Slippery Elm is considered one of the most well-established herbs for throat health.
Q8: What types of environments or exposures increase the need for Throat Gold in cats?
Ans: Cats in multi-cat households, kennels, or grooming environments may benefit from Throat Gold's immune support. Cats exposed to cigarette smoke, dust, cold temperatures, travel stress, or poorly ventilated spaces may also experience throat and upper respiratory irritation that this supplement can help address.
