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.

AeroKat Aerosol Chamber
From CT, USAComments about AeroKatMy cat has bad asthma, and needed an inhaler. This product works really well to deliver his medication.The mask fits him perfectly.Very satisfied. -
Excellent
From Sarasota, FL, USAComments about AeroKatI used a similar product for my patients in the hospital. They were the ones who could not coordinate pressing the med and breathing. It just did not have the mask but the same mouthpiece as the medication. The cat is very receptive. -
Easy to use
From NJComments about AeroKatMy cat has severe asthma and was in really bad shape. I was concerned that he wouldn't adjust to having a mask on his face. But the mask is soft and the Aerokat is so easy to use that he's not too affected by how it looks and feels. It is also easy to count his breaths by looking at the indicator. My only complaint is that it says not to take apart anything other than the mask and the green back piece but it did not dry properly until I took one additional piece apart.-

Easy to use
From close to Chicago, IllComments about AeroKatThis is the second AeroKat I have purchased. The first one is still going strong after 3 years. I purchased the second one for back up. It's so easy to use and to clean. I love that I can see the breaths taken by my cat. You get 2 masks depending on what you need. One is for kittens and the other is for grown cats. My cat adjusted very well and very fast to having to use it for his asthma. I recommend it highly. It does need to be cleaned once a week, tho. It's easy to take apart. Don't use a towel to dry it. It might scratch the inside. Let it air dry. I usually clean mine after our morning treatment and by evening, it's ready for our evening treatment. -
Great Product !
From Abington, PA, USAComments about AeroKatI bought this over a month ago and it works great! I like that it has a flo-vent and you can see as your pet breaths in the medicine. It also comes with two size masks which is great. I use the smaller mask for my petite siamese cat; she has a pointier snout than most cats. The larger mask would be the one I would think most cats would use. I am very pleased with my AeroKat; it works great! -
Easy to use, delivers results!
From Charleston, SC, USAComments about AeroKatI had been putting off using an inhaler treatment on my asthmatic cat for a couple of years and I wish I had started when the AeroKat was 1st available. So easy to train Karo with a treat after application--now he follows me to the couch when he sees me carrying the AeroKat, and willingly hops up beside me for his "treat"ment! The vet was right--it would be a couple of weeks before I saw results in Karo's coughing frequency--but I would not have such success without AeroKat! Also, quick response from VetRxDirect.com helped that happen quickly-thank you! -
Prompt service
From Pennsylvania, USAComments about AeroKatMy AeroKat arrived very quickly. It is very easy to use and my cat adapted to it after the first 3 times. This is much easier than having to give him a pill. -
Good way for kitty to get her Albuterol
From Walnut Creek, CA, USAComments about AeroKatI have an asthmatic kitty. The doctor prescribed an Albuterol inhaler for her - the same kind of inhaler human asthmatics use. Obviously cats need a different delivery system. The Aero Kat comes with two sizes of mask, one for kittens/small cats and one regular. I use the regular size with Dany Cat and give her two puffs a day. So far it seems to be working! She seems happier and doesn't wheeze as much. She doesn't like the mask, but it fits over her nose and mouth and she's able to get her Albuterol. The mask and Aero Kat chamber are super easy to assemble and use. My vet recommended Vet Rx Direct for this medication for Dany Cat as it's pretty expensive. I found it a good value, good service and prompt shipping once the prescription has been received. (Tip: best to order early in the week so the prescription can be faxed and processed faster.) The only downside is that you can't get the meds right away, and with stuff like the asthma inhalers, they can only ship it via ground, so if kitty needs her meds RIGHT NOW, you have to get them at your vet's office. But for refills and non-urgent stuff Vet Rx is great. -
Perfect!
From Richmond, VAComments about AeroKatMy cat was recently diagnosed with asthma. The AeroKat works great for administering his medicine. Shipment arrived quickly! Thank you! -
Easy, perfect treatments!(and I should know!)
From Northern IL.Comments about AeroKatI ordered this the day Cheddar was diagnosed with asthma!This is the 2nd Aerocat I've purchased in 2 years.(all 3 of my latest felines have been diagnosed with asthma). Mac's inhaler is still in fine shape(easy to maintain) but I gave the small face mask that came with it to his vet, thinking I'd never need it. WRONG! The larger mask, while perfect for Mac is too big for Cheddar(and it's important to get a good seal).It only takes a couple of treatments for your cat to get comfortable with inhaler treatment; it helps if you count the breaths out loud and praise them when their done---or give them a treat.This is easier than trying to give a pill and well worth the price. Speedy shipment and delivery, too!

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.

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.
