How Oxygen Can Support Congestive Heart Failure
Oxygen therapy helps pets with congestive heart failure (CHF) by increasing the amount of oxygen delivered to the blood and tissues. Pets with CHF have weakened hearts, limiting their ability to pump blood efficiently and causing fluid buildup in the lungs (pulmonary edema). Supplemental oxygen eases breathing difficulty, reduces stress on the heart, and alleviates symptoms such as rapid breathing, coughing, and fatigue. By improving oxygenation, pets experience increased comfort, enhanced quality of life, and potentially extended survival.
Pets with congestive heart failure (CHF) often experience reduced oxygen delivery to their tissues, triggering the body's stress response and increasing heart workload. Supplemental oxygen therapy can actually help break this harmful cycle by not only improving oxygen levels but also reducing the body's stress hormones, such as adrenaline and cortisol.
- Quickly alleviates respiratory distress

Helps With Quality Of Life
Jack had congested heart failure and the oxygen helped him relax with his breathing. Turning on the oxygen with the regulator is very easy and the mask could be used when he was lying down. Jack was never in any pain and passed away peacefully surrounded by those he loved. We are grateful this product exists for home use.
