What is Flovent for Cats and Dogs?
- Flovent (fluticasone) is an inhaled aerosol steroid that is proven effective in humans, as well as cats and dogs suffering from chronic asthma or bronchitis.
- Like humans, dogs and cats can suffer from asthma and bronchitis.
- The symptoms are similar too – wheezing, coughing, and restricted breathing.
- Prescription Flovent is an inhaled steroid that decreases swelling and irritation of the airways and can help your pet breathe easier.
Why do cats and dogs use Flovent?
- Flovent may be prescribed for cats and dogs suffering from chronic asthma or bronchitis.
What else should I know about Flovent?
- A built-in dose counter on the canister makes it easy to track the number of doses left.
- Be sure to check the dose meter regularly to ensure your pet is receiving a full dose of Flovent.
- Using special feline and canine aerosol masks (sold separately) helps ensure that your pet receives the full dose of Flovent. Be sure that the facemask you use to administer Flovent fits your pet properly – it should fit snuggly around the muzzle and corners of the mouth.
- Ground shipping is required due to Department of Transportation regulations. There is no expedited shipping.
- Treats chronic bronchitis in dogs and cats and chronic feline asthma and sinusitis.
- Flovent has no demonstrated side effects.
What problems could my dog or cat have with Flovent?

- Flovent is not an effective treatment of an acute bronchospasm, active wheezing or shortness of breath.
How do you use Flovent?
- Shake well before use.
- Most effective when used with a spacer or chamber like the AeroKat or AeroDawg Aerosol Chambers. The chamber mixes the drug with air so that your dog or cat will breathe in the medication instead of swallowing it.
What is in Flovent?
- The drug in Flovent is Fluticasone, an inhaled glucocorticoid steroid.
Will I get what I see in the picture?
- Flovent is a brand name. You will receive the exact brand that you request.
Is it important for my dog or cat to finish all of the Flovent?
- Dogs and cats may use Flovent for different lengths of time. Please consult your veterinarian if you have any questions.

Flovent for Chronic Asthma/Bronchitis
I bought this about a month ago along with the Aerokat dispenser. I have a ten-pound Pomeranian with the shorter, stubby nose, and the larger size mask that comes with the Aerokat works perfectly for her. Munchkin has had chronic breathing problems along with a collapsing trachea complication and we've had her in the Vet hospital more than once. We purchased the Flovent along with Ventolin for emergency situations, to hopefully prevent any more emergency room visits. It took a full ten days for the Flovent to start making an appreciable difference in Munchkin's coughing and harsh breathing, but it IS working. And she's much more active and seems so much happier, energetic. She still coughs now and then but it isn't so chronic and distressing as it was. I would heartily recommend trying this for dogs/cats with pulmonary issues like asthma or chronic Bronchitis, and it helps with collapsing trachea inflammation. We give her a treatment right before bedtime and she has calm restive nights once again! Two pieces of advice: We got Munchkin to adapt quickly to the Aerokat covering her mouth by giving her a little treat immediately afterwards, and also we were told to rinse out the mouth and throat with water right after treatment to cut down on any throat irritation and possible ensuing throat infection. We just slowly dispense a small syringe full of water into her mouth afterwards. Problem solved.

Very expensive and sometimes loses potency
I have to purchase this every 3 months and it is pretty expensive in my opinion, but my cat responds well to the product so I will continue to purchase. Another big issue, the product seems to lose potency around the last 20-30 sprays, it just does not work as well as when I first start using a new one. I just threw one away that had 24 doses left, very aggravating considering the price of product, but again, I have no other choice at this time, my cat needs the product.

A medicine that's easy!
From UndisclosedComments about Flovent HFA 110 mcg, 120 Metered ActuationsThis medication is a lifesaver for a cat with asthma. Very well tolerated and very easily dispensed with the Aerokat aerosol chamber. Trubulz jumps right up on the counter when it is time to have his medication. He doesn't hesitate or fight it at all. The whole process is very easy. A little treat after always makes it even better, of course.-

Keeps Cat's Asthma In Check
From UndisclosedComments about Flovent HFA 110 mcg, 120 Metered ActuationsMy cat was diagnosed with asthma about a year ago. She was very lethargic and became out of breath so easy, but now she gets two puffs every day from this inhaler and she is energetic again and can run and play. It's made a huge difference in her quality of life! #sweepstakes -

Q & A

My cat is currently taking Flovent 220mcg once a day, to treat what is suspected to be feline asthma. I've noticed that he has started sneezing in high succession during the first week of his medication. At first it was a sneeze here and there, but now it's 5 or 6 sneezes in a row every day. Is this a symptom that is normal, or should I be worried about this development??
-
According to Plumb’s Veterinary Drug Handbook, inhaled steroids such as Flovent usually cause fewer side effects than when given orally by mouth. Information from human data says that irritation to the back of the throat and upper respiratory tract infection are possible. If you have any concerns regarding your cat and this medication, it is recommended that you consult directly with your veterinarian.
Verified Answer -
My cat has asthma and also does this type of sneezing often and he is not on any meds. So it very well may just be a symptom

My cat is taking prednisolone for asthma and I am interested in switching to Flovent. What is the equivalent dosage of prednisolone to Flovent 44 mcg??
-
Most commonly when starting Flovent, oral glucocorticoid therapy (like prednisolone) would be continued for about 10-14 days with tapering overlap. Please consult your veterinarian about using Flovent in your cat and what dosage you should use.

We have been using the product (Flovent) twice per day on our 19 lbs. geriatric terrier mix. Since we began, about a week ago, he seems to have developed a problem swallowing. Is a sore throat / problematic swallowing a known side effect of the use of Flovent? If so, what remedies are available to us, since this seems to be impairing his ability to eat? Additionally, so we can be prepared for any other issues that may arise, what are the most common side effects of administering Flovent to a dog? Thanks for your help, JD?
-
According to the manufacturer, the adverse effects of Flovent include upper respiratory tract infections or inflammation, throat irritation, sinusitis, dysphonia, candidiasis, cough, bronchitis, or headache. I would recommend speaking with your veterinarian regarding solutions for the sore throat in your dog. Please consult your veterinarian regarding any further questions or concerns regarding this medication in your dog.

Hi i got my prescription filled by you guys from my vet, he prescribed 110mcg twice a day for my 2 year old cat. My question is, how long or how many breaths do I wait for before I remove? I place the mask on, puff and then wait how long? Thanks?
-
According to the manufacturer’s instructions for AeroKat, the mask should be left on the cat’s face for 5-6 breaths. Please speak with your veterinarian as individual directions for your cat may vary.
Verified Answer -
I've been using this for my cat for a couple of years now. I always wait for about 8 to 10 breaths. Sometimes my kitty doesn't seem to take as deep a breath as others so I want to ensure that she gets a full dose. This seems to work very well for her.

Can I take a photo of the RX my vet gave me for this and send that with my order? Since it is winter and will take a while for flovent to get to me (Iive in south east arkansas) I am worried it will be too cold for too long in unheated trucks. How much of a problem is that since temperatures are well below the storage temps or do you pack it in an insulated container to help keep the cold out??
-
You can mail an original Rx or your pet's veterinarian can fax a prescription to us. Most prescription medications can be kept outside of their recommended storage range for a short period of time with no damage to the product.

My vet just recommended flovent--220 ug/puff for my dog with respiratory allergies. That's greek to me. Is that what this product is, and do I control the volume (I assume 220 ug/puff refers to volume delivered..) ? I will be using it with an AeroDawg inhalation chamber--will this work with that??
-
Flovent HFA inhaler is a medication that can help your dog's respiratory symptoms. These symptoms may include wheezing, coughing, and restricted breathing from conditions like asthma, bronchitis, and allergies. For each puff delivered by the Flovent HFA inhaler a total of 220 mcg of drug is administered. When used with an inhalation chamber like AeroDawg it is the most effective. Please contact your dog's veterinarian if you have any further questions regarding the administration of Flovent to your dog.
