HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is the use of oxygen under pressure delivered in a specialized chamber built to withstand high internal pressure. The patient breathes 100% oxygen and the pressure within should know the chamber increases to more than one atmosphere of pressure. The most common type of chamber used in veterinary medicine is a monoplace chamber, which was initially made for humans, or a veterinary-specific chamber of similar size. Up to 3 animals can potentially be treated together in this size chamber.

HBOT is non-invasive, requiring little preparation or recovery time, and it is completely painless. The pressurized environment is significantly larger than a typical kennel and most animals experience little or no anxiety, frequently falling asleep.
They experience no physical sensation as a result of the therapy, either during or after the procedure.

By introducing hyperbaric oxygen therapy, you can elevate your service to a higher level.
