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.

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.

This medication helped my cats severe asthma
From UndisclosedComments about AeroKat Feline Aerosol Chamber, Flow-Vu Indicator, Two MasksMy cat has asthma and had an asthma attack and had to go to the emergency vet. She prescribed this inhaler and the combination of this and his nebulizer is working great! He stopped wheezing and hasn't had an attack since. -

Give your pet the medication they need easily
From UndisclosedComments about AeroKat Feline Aerosol Chamber, Flow-Vu Indicator, Two MasksThis kit makes giving my cat his asthma medication a breeze. After shaking his medication, I dispense one puff into the chamber while the mask is already placed on my cats face. I use the Flow-vu indicator to count his breathes (usually between 10-12 breathes, probably close to a minute). You want to give enough time for enough medication to get into the lungs. Afterwards I wipe down his face with a wet cloth/paper towel (to wipe away any medication residue) and give him a treat. All done quickly and easily. I wash it weekly (everything comes apart easily) and let it air dry. Great product if you need to administer an inhaler. #sweepstakes -
Makes administering medication easy!
From UndisclosedComments about AeroKatMy cat unfortunately had developed asthma at the end of last year. Because he also has diabetes, I needed a solution to treat his asthma without oral steroids (which mess up his glucose for weeks). My vet mentioned this product and warned that not all cats take to it, but luckily my boy did! I got him use to the device over a few weeks before actually using it, that is definitely key! It's easy to use, simple to take apart for cleaning, and comes with two different size masks (I use the bigger one. It has to cover the mouth and nose but not the eyes). I can easily count his breathes using the Flow-vu, usually stop after about 10-12 breathes. His coughing has decreased significantly and his diabetes is under control. Excellent product! I'm very happy with my purchase. #sweepstakes-

From UndisclosedComments about AeroKat Feline Aerosol Chamber, Flow-Vu Indicator, Two MasksThis product is extremely easy to use and the cat was calm during the entire treatment. It does not scare the cat as it is gently and covers just the mouth and nose. The product is easy to clean as well. I clean it once a week as recommended. I highly recommend this product to help with dispensing aerosol medication.-

This Devi e is excellent fir pet inhalers
From UndisclosedComments about AeroKat Feline Aerosol Chamber, Flow-Vu Indicator, Two MasksVet recommended it. However as a nurse, I am use to using them for people. The little breath indicator on this one is very helpful addition. Because my cat held his breath the first time or I had the mask too compressed on his face. And my cat is very petite, so having 2 mask options was very useful. -

GREAT PRODUCT
From UndisclosedComments about AeroKatI have purchased this several times before. I understand it should be replaced yearly; however I can't always afford to do that! I immediately noticed the difference when this new product arrived. It was very smooth to use as slicing through warm butter with a knife. There was a definite difference using the new one. I don't remember the other new ones I purchased being this smooth to use (I was wondering if new different materials were used). At any rate, I have used AeroKat for several years. The 1st time I used, I was worried it might be a problem to give to my cat, but not! I DO actuate the inhaler before putting to Lacey's face, because if I don't the aerosol powder gets in her eyes and irritates them. Also, I DO wipe her nose with a damp kleenex after giving her dose, if I don't there is a chance if she rubs her nose, the power again gets in her eyes. That why her nose is bare, since I have to wipe it twice daily and the fur doesn't get a chance to grow back, but no big deal....-

I have been using AeroKat for my cat for three years. I wonder how long the product last? When shall I replace with the new chamber??

Are the replacement masks for Aerokat compatible with Aerodawg chamber? Why is the price of a medium replacement mask for Aerokat different with a medium replacement mask for Aerodawg? 12.99 and 17.99.?
-
The replacement masks are universal and compatible with both the AeroKat and AeroDawg chambers. We apologize for that price difference and that has since been corrected. All replacement masks for the AeroDawg and AeroKat chambers are now priced the same unless prices change on a future date.

How can it be that the flow-vu indicator " does not impact the delivery of medication to your pet?" It seems that the indicator moves whenever the chamber valve is opened, so if the indicator isn't moving doesn't that have to mean that the way to the chamber is still closed, and therefore no medication is being delivered??
-
The flow-vu indicator is designed to help determine how many breaths your cat has taken. The inhalation valve is an extra sensitive, low resistance valve that is designed to respond to shallow low volume breaths. Therefore, this valve opens up during an inhalation to allow the medication to be delivered. The chamber and flow-vu indicator close to prevent medication loss while the cat is exhaling. If the flow-vu indicator on your device does not move at all, be sure the mask is placed securely to your cat’s face.

Please consult your veterinarian regarding questions or concerns with this product.

Does the facemask attach firmly to the chamber so that you do not need to hold the facemask? I purchased a Vortex and to my disbelief saw that you must hold the facemask with one hand and the chamber with the other. I guess you hold the cat with your feet.?
-
AeroKat valved chamber was designed especially for cats, and attaches firmly to the facemask. For detailed instructions regarding using the AeroKat Feline Aerosol Chamber, read the PDF under the 'Package Insert' tab: https://www.vetrxdirect.com/product/view/aerokat-feline-asthma-chamber-for-cats-otc# It is recommended to speak with your veterinarian about any further questions or concerns regarding administration using this device.

Hello, I use a cpap machine for sleep disorders and clean the mask and tubing with the SoClean sanitizing machine. Would using the sanitizer be a good way to clean my cats aerosol chamber too??
-
According to the manufacturer, the AeroKat should only be cleaned by soaking in warm, soapy water with mild liquid dish detergent, rinsed in clean water, and left to air dry. No cleaning data using SoClean on AeroKat exists, thus proper performance of AeroKat may not be guaranteed after cleaning. Please consult your veterinarian for further questions or concerns regarding cleaning instructions.

I know this works perfectly with a puff inhaler, but will it work with a diskus type inhaler??
-
AeroKat is only compatible with metered dose inhalers, also known as "puff" or aerosol type inhalers. Diskus is a dry powder inhaler that does not contain any propellants and the contents are not under pressure, and must be inhaled directly through the device. Diskus also has a mouthpiece designed specifically for human mouths, making it incompatible with chamber devices like the AeroKat.
