Hi JACustomer,
Thanks for your question. My name is Rebecca and I am a licensed veterinarian.

Plain nasal saline is safe to use in cats. The 4 way spray has essential oils like menthol and eucalyptus which are not safe in cats.

There is a children's product called Little Noses that is safe in cats, but can only be used once daily. Plain saline drops, like NaSal can be used more often to moisturize the nasal passages.

Please let me know if I can answer anything else. Rebecca

You are welcome. It probably would be OK with a single dose, but essential oils can be harmful in cats.

Do the drops help, especially if you try them at night before going to bed?
