While emergencies are rare, they can happen — and when they do, every second counts. At Doggy Barber, we now carry Paw Print Oxygen systems in our salon and pet taxi to provide life-saving oxygen if your pet experiences a medical emergency and during transport to emergency veterinary care.

Here are a few situations where oxygen can make a critical difference:

Respiratory Distress

Pets struggling to breathe — especially flat-faced breeds like French Bulldogs — may show signs such as rapid breathing, wheezing, or panic. Emergency oxygen helps ease their breathing and reduce stress until they reach professional care.

Heart Failure

Heart conditions can limit your pet’s ability to circulate oxygen efficiently, leading to fatigue, difficulty breathing, or blue gums. Providing oxygen helps stabilize their vital signs while en route to a veterinarian.

Trauma

After an accident or fall, internal injuries or shock can deprive organs of oxygen. Administering oxygen immediately supports critical systems and improves outcomes during emergency treatment.

Seizures

During or after a seizure, some pets may struggle to breathe or remain disoriented. Oxygen therapy can aid their recovery and help prevent additional complications.
