Pet Oxygen Flow Regulator

Your regulator is pre-set to the prescribed flow rate as recommended by your veterinarian. This cannot be adjusted to increase or decrease the flow of oxygen.

Just enter your veterinarian’s information during checkout and we’ll contact them and get the prescription. If you already have a prescription you can upload it during checkout.

Orders ship out as soon as we receive and validate your prescription, typically 24-48 hours after your place your order.

On the side of the regulator, your flow rate is engraved into the metal near the base. This should read either 0.5lpm, 1.0lpm, 2.0lpm, or 3.0lpm. If you purchased your kit through us directly and aren’t sure, feel free to give us a call! We can pull up your prescription and verify which regulator we have sent you.

As the oxygen flowing from your regulator can be very quiet, the best way to verify this is with a visual check. The simplest way to do this is to get a glass of water and insert one end of your oxygen tubing in the glass with the other end attached to your regulator. Once you insert the regulator and twist to start the flow of oxygen, you should see bubbles right away.

The regulator is a part of the Pawprint Oxygen Kit and is what dictates the flow rate. Pawprint Oxygen will provide you with a regulator that is pre-set to the flow rate prescribed by your veterinarian.
