What you get

15L canisters: 99% pure, medical-grade oxygen

Pack sizes: 3, 6, or 12 canisters

Works with: the regulator, tubing, and mask in every Pawprint oxygen kit

Canisters only. A regulator, tubing, and mask are required and not included. Designed for short-term use with a mask, not for filling oxygen chambers.

How long each canister lasts

Run time depends on your kit's regulator:

0.5 LPM (small pets): 30 minutes

1.0 LPM: 15 minutes

2.0 LPM: 7.5 minutes

3.0 LPM (large pets): 5 minutes

Stop the flow anytime by twisting the regulator counter-clockwise. You don't have to use a full canister at once.

Shelf life: 2 years from the batch date

Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place. Avoid sustained heat above about 120°F.

Frequently asked questions

Below are the questions we hear most from pet parents and veterinarians. For anything else, give us a call or chat with a Pawprint representative.

Yes. Our canisters are low-pressure, lightweight (under a quarter pound each), and temperature-resistant — designed specifically for safe transport in your car, RV, or boat. They're DOT-approved and rated safe for UPS Ground shipping, which is why so many pet parents keep them in their vehicle, go-bag, or first-aid kit for emergencies on the road.

Treat them like any aerosol product: don't puncture them and don't leave them next to a direct heat source (like a stovetop or open flame). A hot car in summer is fine — extreme, sustained heat above ~120°F is not.

No. The FAA prohibits canned oxygen on aircraft, in both checked and carry-on bags. If you're flying with your pet, we can ship canisters directly to your destination so they're waiting when you arrive.

Yes. Each canister contains 15 liters of 99% pure oxygen — the same medical-grade oxygen used in veterinary clinics.

No. Our 15L oxygen canisters and rescue kits are available without a prescription. (Only our oxygen concentrators require an Rx.)

It depends on your regulator's flow rate, which is matched to your pet's weight:

- 0.5 LPM (small pets): 30 minutes
- 1.0 LPM: 15 minutes
- 2.0 LPM: 7.5 minutes
- 3.0 LPM (large pets): 5 minutes

The gauge on your regulator may seem to drop quickly at first — that's normal. As pressure decreases, flow slows, so each canister still lasts the full duration above.

The canister seal is guaranteed for 2 years from the batch date. Stored properly in a cool, dry place with the seal intact, the oxygen stays in the canister indefinitely — many customers keep theirs on hand for years.

Anytime your pet shows signs of respiratory distress: coughing, excessive panting, "belly breathing," blue or purple gums, collapse, loud or honking breathing, or open-mouth breathing in cats. Oxygen can stabilize your pet while you head to the vet. Common use cases include collapsing trachea episodes, asthma attacks, smoke inhalation, heat stress, post-surgery recovery, and transport to emergency care.

That's intentional — pets reject masks if the flow is loud or hissing. To verify flow, place one end of the tubing into a glass of water; you'll see steady bubbles. Your regulator gauge also shows remaining oxygen as you use it.

No, they cannot be refilled. Empty canisters are recyclable — please recycle them and reorder replacements anytime.

No. Canisters are designed for short-term, portable use with a mask. They don't hold enough oxygen to fill or sustain a chamber. For chambers, you'll need a PureVent Oxygen Concentrator.
