A horse breathes through a remarkably delicate set of airways, and the lungs are where hard work and clean air either come together or fall apart. LaSal Animal Health was built around a single idea: that you could carry a proven germ-fighting solution to exactly the place it is needed, on the breath itself. The result is the only chelated silver nebulizing solution on the market, a product designed to support the respiratory health of performance and pleasure horses alike.

What makes a chelated silver nebulizing solution different?

Silver is a natural antimicrobial that is non-toxic to humans and animals yet lethal to a wide range of bacteria, fungi, mold, parasites, and viruses. LaSal goes a step further with a patented chelation process that bonds silver atoms to organic molecules, dispersing the smallest possible particles evenly through a gentle solution of deionized water and antiseptic ingredients. That covalent bonding sharpens both the killing power and the persistence of the silver, so it keeps working over time. Unlike colloidal silver, which is random bits of metal floating in water, chelated silver is purpose-built molecule by molecule. The United States Patent and Trademark Office awarded LaSal the patent for chelated silver, and patent offices around the world confirmed that LaSal is the only company capable of chelating silver at all.

How does nebulizing deliver the solution to the airways?

LaSal Nebulize is a microbicidal solution formulated specifically to be delivered through a nebulizer. The nebulizer turns the liquid into a fine mist of tiny droplets, and the horse simply inhales that mist through its own natural breathing. Because the particles are so small, the mist travels with the breath into the airways rather than sitting on the surface like a spray or a paste would. It is alcohol, chlorine, and iodine free, so it can be used as often as desired without the harshness of those traditional agents. The solution comes in a 4 oz. and a 16 oz. size so owners can match the bottle to how often they nebulize.

Which horses benefit from respiratory support?

Any horse asked to work hard puts its lungs under real strain, from racehorses pushing through stakes-level efforts to barrel and cutting horses turning on a dime in dusty arenas. Trainers reach for nebulizing as part of a routine respiratory program, supporting the airway so the horse can keep doing its job. The same gentle chelated silver chemistry sits behind LaSal's wider line of animal care, including a topical wound and skin foam and spray, and the solution is mild enough to use across many species and at every age. Statements about these products have not been evaluated by the Usfda, and they are not intended to cure, diagnose, prevent, or treat any disease.

What do horsemen say about LaSal Nebulize?

"I am very encouraged by the results horses are exhibiting from the treatments of LASAL Nebulize. This product has become an integral part of my training program." Those words come from Angela Aquino, a leading thoroughbred trainer at the Los Alamitos Race Track, where horses on the product have gone on to qualify for stakes races. For the barns that have folded nebulizing into their daily routine, it has become a quiet fixture of the morning, one more way to keep a horse breathing easy and ready to run.

The Solution Section (FAQ)
What is LaSal Nebulize?

LaSal Nebulize is a microbicidal chelated silver solution formulated to be delivered through a nebulizer. Nebulizing produces a fine mist of the product that the horse inhales through its own natural breathing, carrying the solution into the airways for respiratory support.

What is chelated silver, and how is it different from colloidal silver?

Chelated silver is purified silver covalently bonded to organic molecules and dispersed evenly throughout a gentle solution. That bonding enhances both the antimicrobial activity and the persistence of the silver. Colloidal silver, by contrast, is simply globular bits of elemental silver randomly floating in water.

Why is LaSal the only chelated silver nebulizing solution available?

LaSal holds the patent for chelated silver, awarded by the United States Patent and Trademark Office, along with patents in Canada and China. International patent examinations confirmed that LaSal is the only company in the world possessing the capability to chelate silver, which is why no competing chelated silver nebulizing solution exists.

How does the nebulizer get the solution into the horse's lungs?

The nebulizer converts the liquid solution into a fine mist of very small droplets. The horse breathes that mist in through its normal respiration, so the particles travel with the breath into the airway rather than coating the surface the way a spray would.

Does the solution contain alcohol, chlorine, or iodine?

No. LaSal's chelated silver solution is alcohol, chlorine, and iodine free. Because it avoids those harsh agents, it is gentle enough to be used as often as desired.

What sizes does LaSal Nebulize come in?

LaSal Nebulize is offered in a 4 oz. bottle and a 16 oz. bottle, so owners can choose the size that fits how frequently they plan to nebulize.

Is LaSal's chelated silver safe for animals?

LaSal reports its products are non-toxic, non-drying, and hypoallergenic, and its safety documentation describes the ingredients as non-combustible, non-flammable, and non-hazardous. Silver itself is non-toxic to humans and animals while remaining effective against a broad range of microbes.

Are these products evaluated or approved as treatments by the FDA?

No. LaSal states that the claims on its materials have not been evaluated by the USFDA and that its products are not intended to cure, diagnose, prevent, or treat any disease. Owners should work with their own veterinarian on any specific health concern.
