This machine extended my dog’s life by magnitudes and drastically improved her quality of life, all the way to the end. The machine boots up faster than advertised and delivers a constant stream of high quality, condensed, oxygen to a mask or ventilation chamber.
If your pet is skittish, or distrustful of loud humming machine noise, I recommend getting a longer hose to place the unit further away, as it is quite noisy. Worth the noise, but worth noting as well. Another benefit of the longer hose is to run it through a bucket of ice water, to cool the air down before entering a ventilation chamber; not so necessary when used with a mask.
The machine can get a little warm with prolonged usage (more than 20min), so make sure to place it in a spot with adequate ventilation. The unit is on wheels and can be easily turned to choose the direction of the warm exhaust.
Overall, this was one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. It improved my senior dog’s life by an unbelievable extent, after her cancer diagnosis. I also learned that it made the at-home euthanasia process a lot easier on her body, giving her a much more peaceful experience. Not only that, but I’m keeping it to help rescued animals in the future, as well as any friends with pets in need. Absolutely zero regrets, here!
If you’re on the fence about whether or not this is worth the money, I sincerely recommend taking the plunge. I would also recommend making sure you have both a mask and a ventilation chamber, in order to provide multiple options to your pet and reduce the added stress.
I can’t explain how thankful I am for PawPrint and this machine. It’s literally human grade technology to help and save your furry family. PawPrint support is top-notch, and got the unit shipped out on the same day I placed the order. On that note: I recommend reaching out to support with your RX info, referencing your order number, when making the purchase; it really streamlined the process for our family.
