That Sound Breaks Every Pet Parent’s Heart.
You know the one. That repeated hacking cough. The gagging. The wheezing in the middle of the night. You check on your dog or cat — and they look up at you with tired eyes, clearly uncomfortable.
A cough that lasts more than a day is never something to ignore in pets. It could be a reaction to cold weather, dust, a mild infection, or something more persistent like kennel cough. And the longer it goes untreated, the worse it gets.
Alvikof Pet Syrup is the trusted solution. It is one of the best cough syrups for dogs and cats made in India — formulated to relieve cough at the root, not just silence the symptoms for a few hours.
What Is Alvikof Pet Syrup?
Alvikof Pet Syrup is a veterinary-grade oral cough syrup for dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens. It combines five proven active ingredients that work together to:
- Stop dry, persistent cough
- Loosen and expel mucus in wet cough
- Soothe an irritated, inflamed throat
- Reduce allergic coughing and sneezing
- Calm the airways so your pet can breathe comfortably
It is easy to give — directly into the mouth using a dropper, or mixed into food. Most pets accept it without any resistance.
Key Ingredients — What’s Inside & Why It Works
| Ingredient | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Terpin Hydrate | Acts as an expectorant — loosens thick mucus so it can be coughed out easily |
| Ammonium Chloride | Thins mucus secretions — makes wet cough productive and clears the airway faster |
| Sodium Citrate | Coats and soothes the throat lining — reduces the burning irritation that triggers coughing |
| Chlorpheniramine Maleate | Antihistamine — controls coughing triggered by allergies, dust, pollen, or weather changes |
| Dextromethorphan HBr | Suppresses dry, non-productive cough — reduces the frequency of coughing fits |
Why does this 5-ingredient formula matter?
Most pet cough syrups available in India contain only one or two active ingredients. They help with either dry cough OR wet cough — not both. Alvikof’s multi-action formula covers both types completely. No matter what kind of cough your pet has, Alvikof addresses it.
Benefits of Alvikof Pet Syrup
- Relieves Both Dry and Wet Cough Alvikof handles dry, hacking cough (suppressed by Dextromethorphan) and wet, mucus-filled cough (cleared by Terpin Hydrate + Ammonium Chloride) — in a single syrup. You do not need two different products.
- Soothes Throat Irritation From the First Dose Sodium Citrate coats the throat and begins soothing within minutes of the first dose. The constant tickle that makes your pet cough repeatedly starts to ease quickly.
- Stops Allergy-Driven Coughing Does your pet cough more during weather changes, near dusty areas, or in the morning? Chlorpheniramine Maleate tackles histamine-driven cough — one of the most common and frequently missed causes of pet coughing.
- Safe for Both Dogs and Cats Alvikof is formulated for both species. Use the weight-based dosage guide for accurate dosing across different body sizes.
- Safe for Puppies and Kittens Too This is one of the best cough syrups for puppies and kittens available in India. It is gentle on young, developing systems while still being fully effective. Always follow the weight-based dose for young pets.
- Easy to Administer — No Fighting Needed The syrup form goes directly onto the tongue with a dropper. If your pet resists, simply mix it into a small amount of wet food or chicken broth. No pill hiding, no stress.
- No BKC or Harsh Additives Alvikof is free from Benzalkonium Chloride (BKC) and other harsh disinfectants sometimes found in pet medicines. It is safe for pets who lick and groom themselves after dosing.
- Fast-Acting Relief Most pet parents notice a reduction in coughing frequency within 24–48 hours of starting the course. By day 4–5, most pets are cough-free.
When Should You Give Alvikof to Your Pet?
- Persistent dry or wet cough lasting more than 24 hours
- Coughing after cold weather exposure or getting wet in rain
- Kennel cough — especially after boarding, dog parks, or group play
- Seasonal allergic cough during weather changes
- Post-viral cough that lingers after an infection clears
- Throat irritation with gagging or retching sounds
- Coughing and sneezing together — likely allergic or viral trigger
Do NOT give Alvikof if:
- Your pet has severe breathing difficulty or is gasping — go to a vet immediately
- Your pet is already on another antihistamine medication — check with your vet first
- The cough is accompanied by blood or dark green discharge from the nose
- Your pet has a known sensitivity to any of the ingredients listed
Dosage Guide
⚠️ Important: Always calculate the dose based on your pet’s current body weight. When in doubt, consult your veterinarian — especially for puppies, kittens, or pets with existing health conditions.
| Pet Type | Body Weight | Dose | Frequency |
|---|---|---|---|
| Puppies / Kittens | Up to 2.5 kg | 1.25 ml | 2–3 times daily |
| Puppies / Kittens | 2.5–5 kg | 2.5 ml | 2–3 times daily |
| Small Dogs / Cats | 5–10 kg | 5 ml | 2–3 times daily |
| Medium Dogs | 10–20 kg | 7.5–10 ml | 2–3 times daily |
| Large Dogs | 20–35 kg | 10–15 ml | 2–3 times daily |
| Giant Breeds | 35 kg+ | As advised by vet | Consult vet |
Recommended Course: 5–7 days. Complete the full course even if symptoms improve on day 2 or 3. Stopping early can allow the cough to return.
How to Give Alvikof Pet Syrup — Step by Step
Step 1 — Shake well Always shake the bottle before every dose to ensure the ingredients are evenly mixed.
Step 2 — Measure the correct dose Use the measuring dropper or the cap markings. Do not guess the dose — accurate dosing matters, especially for puppies and kittens.
Step 3 — Position your pet comfortably Sit your dog or cat calmly — on your lap, on a table, or on the floor. Gently hold them still.
Step 4 — Administer the syrup Gently hold the mouth open. Place the dropper toward the side or back of the tongue — not the very front or they will spit it out. Squeeze slowly and let your pet swallow naturally between squeezes.
Step 5 — Reward immediately Give a small treat or verbal praise right after. This builds positive association and makes the next dose easier.
Alternative Method — Mix with Food: If your pet refuses the dropper, mix the measured dose into a tablespoon of wet food, tuna water, or chicken broth. Most pets eat this without any issue.
Storage: Store below 25°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the cap tightly closed after each use. Do not refrigerate unless advised. Use before the expiry date printed on the label.
What to Expect After Starting Alvikof
Day 1: The throat soothing effect begins. Coughing may continue but with less intensity and irritation.
Day 2–3: Coughing frequency reduces noticeably. In wet cough cases, mucus clearance improves and your pet breathes more freely.
Day 4–5: Most pets are significantly better or completely cough-free.
Day 6–7: Complete the remaining doses to prevent relapse.
If cough does not improve after 7 days — or if it worsens — consult a veterinarian. Persistent cough can occasionally indicate a deeper respiratory condition that needs additional examination.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is Alvikof really the best cough syrup for dogs and cats in India?
Alvikof stands out because it contains 5 active ingredients covering dry cough, wet cough, throat irritation, and allergic cough — all in one syrup. Most pet cough syrups address only one type. That makes Alvikof one of the most complete pet cough syrups available in India.
Q: Can I give Alvikof to my 6-week-old puppy?
Alvikof can be given to puppies as young as 4–6 weeks in very small, weight-appropriate doses. For very young puppies under 4 weeks, always consult a veterinarian before giving any oral medication.
Q: How quickly does Alvikof work?
Most pets show improvement within 24–48 hours. By day 4–5, the majority of pets are cough-free when the full course is completed.
Q: My cat hates medicine. How do I give this?
Mix the measured dose into a teaspoon of tuna water, chicken broth, or a strongly-scented wet cat food. Most cats accept it this way without realising they are taking medicine.
Q: Can I use Alvikof for kennel cough in dogs?
Yes. Alvikof helps relieve the symptoms of kennel cough — including the harsh, honking cough and throat irritation. For severe or infectious kennel cough cases, a vet may also prescribe an antibiotic alongside the cough syrup.
Q: Is it safe to give Alvikof and other pet medications together?
If your pet is already on antihistamines, sedatives, or other medications, consult your vet before adding Alvikof. The antihistamine in Alvikof (Chlorpheniramine) may interact with certain other medicines.
