Is your cat’s sudden wheezing causing you concern that it might be asthma?

Or perhaps a recent asthma diagnosis has left you feeling overwhelmed and unsure of where to turn?

We understand the mix of concern and confusion when your cat starts panting and coughing. Fear not! We’re here to be your trusty guides, ensuring your cat’s health and happiness are treated with the utmost care.

You may be wondering what Feline asthma is. Well, much like asthma in humans, it is a chronic inflammatory condition of the lungs. It causes the airways to become inflamed and narrow, leading to difficulty breathing.

Asthma can be triggered by various factors such as allergens (pollen, dust mites, even the scent of a freshly cleaned home), stress, obesity (those extra treats add up), and genetics.

If you notice any of these symptoms in your cat, it’s important to talk to your vet as soon as possible. A vet can conduct a comprehensive physical examination and review your cat’s full medical history. Treatment may involve medications like corticosteroids, bronchodilators, antibiotics, or even inhalers. Managing their environment—think smoke-free zones, daily dusting, and switching up those cleaning products — to help reduce triggers.

Now, how does Marro play a role in supporting your Asthmatic cat? If your cat has been diagnosed with asthma and you’re looking for a diet to support their health, you’ve come to the right place. Proper nutrition plays a crucial role in managing your cat’s health.

Our recipes contain omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil, which may help to reduce inflammation. Keeping your cat hydrated is also essential to reduce mucus buildup, and our hydrating golden gravy will help them consume more water.

Since obesity can contribute to asthma by placing additional stress on the lungs, Marro’s portion sizes and weight management can help keep your cat at a healthy weight. For more on weight management, click here.
