In-Field Reviews
Ryan N.
A Must-Have Product
"Every EMS/Police/Fire Department Should Have One. Easy in-field use. This is a no-brainer for every department to carry with them."
Officer James R., K9 Unit – Chicago PD
Great Value
"We added this kit to our patrol vehicle last month and already used it during a house fire response. Our working dog, Titan, was disoriented from smoke exposure—within minutes of oxygen therapy, he was alert again. The design is super intuitive, even for first-time users. Excellent piece of gear for any department."
Michelle T., Fire Captain
Wildfire Pet Oxygen Masks
"This kit saved our K9 Ember during a wildfire response. She showed signs of smoke inhalation, and we were able to give her oxygen immediately on-site. The mask fit perfectly, and the canisters were simple to use under pressure. Every K9 handler in the field should have one of these in their rig."

Common FAQs
Please view our full FAQ section with more questions and answers, give us a call or chat with a Pawprint representative if you have additional questions.
Do I need a prescription for this product?
No, we do not require a prescription for this oxygen source, the only product that requires a prescription is our Oxygen Concentrators.
Do I have to use the entire Oxygen Canister at once?
No, you can stop the flow of oxygen at any time by twisting the Regulator counter-clockwise and removing it from the Oxygen Canister. You can then use the remainder of the oxygen at a later date.
How long will each oxygen canister last?
The duration of each 15L Canister depends on the regulator in your kit.
In the k9 rescue kit, you'll have a 3.0 LPM Regulator – each Canister will last 5 minutes
Can Pawprint Oxygen canisters be refilled?
Our Oxygen Canisters cannot be refilled. You may start and stop oxygen flow as many times as you would like.
Once the Oxygen Canister is empty, it should be recycled as any aluminum can in your standard blue recycling bin or according to your local guidelines. You can reorder Oxygen Canisters any time you wish.
Aren’t oxygen tanks dangerous? What makes your Canisters different?
The Pawprint Oxygen Canisters are small enough to hold in your hand and are under 1/10th the pressure of a large oxygen E-tank. They are lightweight and completely safe to use at home and in the car.
As they are under much less pressure, the Canisters are also safe in the heat (up to 120 degrees Fahrenheit) and cold, so they will remain safe to use, even if your package is left outside!
Oxygen is not flammable, but it is an accelerant, so we suggest keeping your Canisters away from open flames. The same as any aerosol can, do not puncture the Canister. The Canisters are rated safe to ship via UPS Ground by the Department of Transportation.
What is the shelf life of the Pawprint Oxygen Canisters?
Pawprint Oxygen Canisters have a shelf life of 2 years. It is still safe to use the oxygen canisters past the expiration date, as the 2-year shelf life covers the canister itself more than the oxygen it contains. We recommend testing to make sure your canister contains 10L of oxygen past the expiration date, as past that time, the pressure seal on the canister is not guaranteed. You can use the pressure gauge on your regulator to test whether the canister is still full, which indicates that your pressure seal is intact.
If you are unsure whether your Pawprint Oxygen Canisters are expired or if you have any questions, please call us at 855-699-4366. Please have your canisters with you while calling, as the Pawprint Oxygen Team Member will need the lot number printed on the bottom of each canister.
Can you explain Regulator emptying speed?
As the canister releases pressure, initially your canister will seem to empty very fast since it starts at full and the pressure is high. As the canister empties, and the pressure is reduced, the emptying speed will slow down.
Please be aware that each flow rate dictates how fast each canister will empty. A 0.5LPM (Liter Per Minute) flow will empty a 10L canister in 20 minutes, and a 15L canister in 30 minutes. A 1.0LPM flow will empty a 10L canister in 10 minutes, and a 15L canister in 15 minutes. A 2.0LPM flow will empty a 10L canister in 5 minutes, and a 15L canister in 7.5 minutes. And a 3.0LPM flow will empty a 10L canister in 3.3 minutes, and a 15L canister in 5 minutes.
The regulator emptying speed will be fast at first, and then slow down, so don’t be alarmed if the dial reads halfway ’empty’, but it hasn’t been halfway through your canister emptying time. As the canister pressure lowers, the emptying speed lowers as well, so that each canister lasts its allotted time depending on the flow rate and canister size.
How do I place the Pet Oxygen Mask on my pet?
Hold the mask 6 inches from your pet’s face and start the flow of oxygen. Slowly place the mask over your pet’s nose, giving them time to acclimate to the oxygen flow and the presence of the mask.
If your pet resists, and you are using a mask with a black rubber diaphragm, removing the rubber diaphragm on the end of the mask may help your pet accept the mask. Most pets accept the mask once they feel the effects of the oxygen.
*pet tip* pets inherently need some time to get used to the oxygen mask, they typically will not fight you during an episode but to get them used to the mask add some peanut butter or a treat inside the mask to practice!
What are the dimensions of your oxygen canisters?
Our oxygen canisters all contain 15 Liters of 99% pure oxygen. The canister dimensions are as follows: 11 inches tall and 2.5 inches wide. The are very lightweight, weighing less than a quarter of a pound each.
The oxygen is so quiet! How do I know it's working?
This is extremely purposeful! We found that pets won't accept the oxygen if it's loud on their face. You can always check the oxygen flow by simply placing one end of the oxygen tubing into a glass of water.
My dog, Milo has been suffering from a respiratory issue for quite awhile now. The vet originally told me it was a collapsed trachea, but later told me it was not, that the trachea was fine. Actually there has not ever been a satisfactory diagnosis, so still don't really know what the problem is. I can tell you that even though my sweet boy has issues with his breathing (mostly when he gets excited), he remains very happy, energetic and enthusiastic for life. He eats well, has no bathroom issues, except those associated with senior status. He is now 13 years old. Most of his issues seem to stem from lung congestion. I have tried all kinds of therapy, including a lot of herbal remedies. Some might help to ease his symptoms, but nothing has really improved his condition. I saw the ad for Pawprint Oxygen and decided to give it a try. I have only had the kit for about a week and have used it maybe 3 times so far when he seems to be suffering a bit more than usual. The treatment definitely gives him some relief, and he rests easier after treatment. Each treatment has been about 2-3 minutes and it helps. If I can give him relief, temporary or not, it is worth the price to me.
Hi Mary, and thank you for your amazing review! We are so happy we can provide both Milo and you with some relief from those episodes. Having an older dog definitely comes with challenges, and we hope with the oxygen kit and your love and attention, Milo will enjoy many years of comfort and joy.
I got the O2 setup for Chihuahua/Minpin who has a partially collapsed trachea. When she gets into coughing fits, I put on her oxygen mask and it immediately calms her down and she squints her eyes and looks happy & peaceful.
I modified the hose; i cut it down to a third of the size. it seemed to be wasting too much oxygen. It’s also much more manageable with a shorter hose. it fits her face perfectly. 🩵🤍
Hi Hannah, and thank you for your wonderful review (and for the adorable photo of Daisy Jones!) Coughing fits can be quite alarming to deal with, but we are so happy the oxygen kit is bringing Ms. Daisy Jones some comfort during her collapsed trachea episodes. Her little face says it all. <3
My elderly service dog has a complex health condition that causes random coughing fits, leading to syncope (fainting) and sometimes seizures. These episodes are terrifying and stem from late-stage kidney failure, which has also made him anemic. Watching him struggle for breath has been a nightmare, leaving me feeling completely powerless.
Since getting the PawPrint Oxygen Kit, I finally feel empowered. When my dog starts coughing, I can now quickly respond by giving him more oxygen within seconds. With this kit, I feel confident that my home is the next best place for him to experience a medical emergency outside of the vet's office.
Thank you so much for your review! Being able to provide peace of mind along with an easy way to safely administer oxygen at home can be a game changer, and we are glad to be here to be able to help you during those stressful episodes with your pup.
