The natural approach
In the wild, animals instinctively seek out plants that will help to support health in various body systems. It therefore makes sense that as owners, we can help our domestic pets by making herbal and other natural supplements available to them. As part of a holistic approach to pet health, natural remedies can help to build and strengthen your pet's immune system, encourage the elimination of toxins, and generally improve the overall health of your animal.
Natural remedies can also help to promote health in the respiratory system, and there are many herbs which have been used for centuries to help promote easy breathing and clear lungs and chests in people as well as animals. In more recent times, clinical research has often confirmed what natural healers have always known!
What is KC-Defense?
KC-Defense is a 100% natural remedy which combines herbal and homeopathic ingredients with selected biochemic tissue salts for the support of the respiratory system (chest, airways and throat) and as a tonic for the immune system – thereby helping to keep pets free of infection by promoting health in these important body structures.
By supporting immune system health, you can also feel more confident when your pet has to go into environments like kennels, catteries or other places where there is a risk of infection.
KC-Defense may be used as a preventative tonic or for more immediate support when needed.
What are the Ingredients?
-
Plantago lanceolata is an herbal remedy well known for soothing the throat. It also helps to promote clear chests, noses and throats. This herb is also approved by the German Commission E for internal use to soothe throats and the mucous membranes of the upper respiratory tract. Clinical studies have supported its effectiveness.
-
Bryonia (6C) is a proven homeopathic remedy which is very effective when used to soothe the throat and keep chests clear.

-
Ferrum phosphate (D6) (Ferrum phos.) is one of the most important biochemic tissue salts to use when strengthening immune system, as it helps to promote the distribution of iron and oxygen throughout the body and strengthen cell walls.
-
Kalium sulphate (D6) (Kali. sulph.) This biochemic tissue salt is often used together with Ferrum phos. and is well known for its benefits in supporting respiratory health.
-
Magnesium phosphate (D6) (Mag. phos.) is naturally soothing and helps to maintain harmony and balance in the throat and chest.

How do I use KC-Defense?
KC-Defense comes in convenient dissolvable granule form. The tiny granules are easy to administer to pets of all sizes, and are simply sprinkled on the back of the tongue and left to dissolve. No fuss and bother!
Directions:
Preventative - KC-Defense may be given for up to a week at 3 - 6 month intervals to naturally support the immune system and promote respiratory health. This is highly recommended before a stay in kennels or a cattery, or for 5 - 7 days before a visit to the vet, if possible.
Acute - Administer every hour for up to 10 doses, or until symptoms subside. Thereafter, administer three times daily for 14 -21 days.
Dosage: Cats and very small dogs: Large pinch of granules sprinkled into the mouth.
Small to medium dogs: Two pinches sprinkled into the mouth.
Medium to large dogs: 1/4 cap of granules sprinkled into the mouth.
What else can I do to help my pet?
-
Ensure your pet is eating a balanced, high-quality diet with plenty of raw and unprocessed food (preferably organic).
-
Use Immunity and Liver Support capsules to provide additional ongoing immune system support and as a tonic for the liver.
-
Avoid exposure to toxins and chemicals as much as possible, including pesticides, herbicides, commercial flea collars, flea powder, insecticides and secondhand cigarette smoke – all these can weaken the immune system and place strain on the liver and respiratory system.
-
If going to boarding kennels causes your pet undue stress, consider investigating other options. Stress can weaken your pet's immune system and make him more susceptible to infection.
-
Talk to a holistic vet before immunizing your pet. Over-vaccination may stress the immune system unnecessarily.
-
Regular exercise will help to keep your pet's immune system in tiptop form.
-
Small doses of ready-made herbal syrups can help to soothe throats and chests
