Jul 27, 2021

By Blake Dubé

We are excited to announce a collaboration with MWI Animal Health to provide veterinarians with the Pawprint Oxygen Canister System for companion animals!

“This collaboration demonstrates a shared commitment to innovation that puts a new standard for oxygen delivery in the hands of veterinarians,” said Blake Dube, CEO of Aeronics, Inc., makers of Pawprint Oxygen, “Respiratory distress is a pervasive problem in veterinary medicine. Our goal is to empower veterinarians with tools to administer oxygen in any situation, without the need for a heavy tank or expensive equipment. MWI’s knowledge and reach in the veterinary market makes them the right partner to make this system accessible to veterinarians.”

Pawprint Oxygen is now available for veterinarians to order through MWI's website.

Blake Dubé

Founder and CEO of Pawprint Oxygen

Blake Dubé is the Founder and CEO of Pawprint Oxygen, a Pittsburgh-based company that designs and manufactures oxygen systems for the veterinary market. Pawprint Oxygen products are used in thousands of veterinary hospitals and homes across the United States, Canada, and Europe.

Blake conceived and invented the core Pawprint Oxygen technology while studying chemical engineering at the University of Pittsburgh. Through undergraduate research, fellowships, and hands-on innovation—most notably his work in the Wilmer Lab—Blake identified a critical gap in veterinary care: oxygen therapy was often difficult to deploy quickly and not well suited to animals. Pawprint Oxygen was created to solve this problem by designing oxygen delivery systems specifically for real-world animal care.

Blake co-founded Pawprint Oxygen with his mentor, Dr. Chris Wilmer, and his lifelong friend and business partner, Mark. He continues to lead product development with a mission to make oxygen therapy more accessible, reliable, and practical for veterinarians, first responders, and pet owners.

Blake’s recognitions include Pittsburgh Business Times 30 Under 30, The Incline Animal Advocate, and Eagle Scout. He lives in Pittsburgh’s South Side with his wife, Hailey, and his son, Sam.
