PureVent Pet Oxygen Masks for Dogs and Cats, Small, Medium, Large and Set of 3

The PureVent Pet Oxygen Mask from Pawprint Oxygen is a clear, cone-shaped oxygen mask for dogs, cats, and other pets. Its tri-vent design reduces CO2 rebreathing by up to 80% compared with other pet masks. Pacific Biomedical stocks the Small, Medium, and Large masks (part numbers PP-2300, PP-2301, PP-2302) and the Set of 3 (PP-2400) for fire engines, ambulances, K9 units, veterinary clinics, and pet owners. Every mask comes with 7 ft of standard oxygen tubing.1

At a Glance:

Feature Detail
Brand PureVent by Pawprint Oxygen
Sizes Small (under 5 lb), Medium (5 to 22 lb), Large (22 lb and up, flat-faced breeds), Set of 3
Venting Tri-vent design, three rear vents
CO2 rebreathing Reduced by up to 80% compared with other pet masks
Body Clear polycarbonate shell, soft silicone grip
Tubing 7 ft standard oxygen tubing with every mask
Oxygen source Most continuous-flow medical oxygen sources
Reusable Yes, wash between patients

Why Fire, EMS, and Vet Teams Choose PureVent:

  • Less CO2 rebreathing. Three rear vents let exhaled CO2 escape, reducing rebreathing by up to 80% compared with other pet masks. CO2 rebreathing is a known drawback of face masks in veterinary oxygen therapy.1, 3, 4
  • Fits a snout. The cone covers the whole muzzle, so oxygen reaches a dog or cat that a flat-faced human mask cannot seal on.1
  • See the patient. The clear polycarbonate shell shows the nose, mouth, and gum color during oxygen delivery.1
  • Works with the oxygen already on the rig. Standard-diameter tubing fits typical human medical oxygen equipment and most continuous-flow sources.1
  • Three sizes cover most pets. Small through Large fits cats and toy breeds up to large dogs and flat-faced breeds, and the Set of 3 stocks one of each.1

Size Chart:

Size Pet Weight Depth Diameter Part Number
Small Under 5 lb 2.7 in 3 in PP-2300
Medium 5 to 22 lb 3.7 in 3 in PP-2301
Large 22 lb and up, or flat-faced breeds 5 in 4.5 in PP-2302
Set of 3 One Small, one Medium, one Large See above See above PP-2400

Weight is a starting point. Measure the muzzle and compare it to the mask diameter, and choose the Large for flat-faced breeds such as pugs, bulldogs, and Persian cats.1, 2 Fire engines and ambulances that see every kind of pet carry the Set of 3.

Who Uses It:

User Typical Use
Fire departments Dogs and cats carried out of house fires, kept on the engine as a Set of 3
EMS and ambulance services Animals found on scene or traveling with a patient
Police K9 and search and rescue Working dogs exposed to smoke, heat, or exertion, Large mask in the K9 kit
Veterinary clinics and vet techs Triage, induction, recovery, and oxygen during exams
Pet owners Home oxygen set up by the pet's veterinarian, and travel or emergency kits

How to Give a Pet Oxygen With the Mask:

  1. Connect the tubing to the oxygen source and start the flow.2
  2. Hold the mask about 6 inches from the pet's face, then slowly bring it over the muzzle. It may cover up to the whole head on a small pet.1, 2
  3. Hold the mask in place. Too tight a fit can cause CO2 rebreathing, and too loose a fit lets room air dilute the oxygen.3, 4
  4. Set the flow rate per veterinary direction or local protocol. Veterinary references list 1 to 6 L/min for a face mask, and 8 to 12 L/min with a tight-fitting mask for higher oxygen concentrations.3, 4
  5. Watch the pet's breathing and color through the clear shell, and get the animal to a veterinarian.

Frequently Asked Questions:

What is a pet oxygen mask?

A pet oxygen mask is a cone-shaped mask that fits over an animal's muzzle to deliver oxygen from a tank, canister, or concentrator. The PureVent mask has a clear shell, a soft silicone grip, and three rear vents that reduce CO2 rebreathing by up to 80% compared with other pet masks.1

What size pet oxygen mask do I need?

Small fits pets under 5 lb, Medium fits pets 5 to 22 lb, and Large fits pets 22 lb and up or flat-faced breeds. Compare the muzzle to the mask diameter (3 in for Small and Medium, 4.5 in for Large) when a pet is between sizes.1, 2

How do you give a dog oxygen?

Connect the tubing to the oxygen source and start the flow. Hold the mask about 6 inches from the dog's face, then slowly bring it over the muzzle and hold it in place.1, 2 Set the flow per veterinary direction or local protocol, and take the dog to a veterinarian.

How do you give oxygen to a cat?

Use the Small mask for cats under 5 lb or the Medium for larger cats. Start the flow, approach slowly from about 6 inches away, and let the mask cover the muzzle or the whole head. A calm, slow approach matters, because repeated attempts can stress a cat in distress.1, 4

What oxygen flow rate does a pet mask need?

The flow rate depends on the pet's condition, history, and weight, and is set by a veterinarian or local protocol. Veterinary references list 1 to 6 L/min for a face mask, and 8 to 12 L/min with a tight-fitting mask for higher oxygen concentrations.1, 3, 4

Can you give a dog human oxygen?

Yes. Dogs receive the same medical oxygen people do. The PureVent mask uses standard-diameter tubing that fits typical human medical oxygen equipment, including the cylinders and regulators carried on fire engines and ambulances.1

Do fire departments carry pet oxygen masks?

Yes. Fire departments and EMS agencies across the country carry pet oxygen masks on engines and ambulances for dogs and cats rescued from house fires.5 A Set of 3 lets one apparatus fit a kitten through a large dog.

Can it help a pet with smoke inhalation?

Yes. Fire departments carry pet oxygen masks to give oxygen to dogs and cats rescued from smoke-filled homes.5 Any pet exposed to smoke should be seen by a veterinarian, even if it seems to recover on scene.

Does it fit flat-faced breeds like pugs, bulldogs, and Persian cats?

Yes. The Large mask, 5 in deep and 4.5 in across, is sized for flat-faced (brachycephalic) breeds.1, 2

Does it work with an oxygen tank, canister, or concentrator?

Yes. The mask works with pet oxygen concentrators, oxygen canisters, and most continuous-flow medical oxygen sources. For a D or E cylinder, pair it with a regulator such as the Gentec 0.5 to 15 LPM regulator.1

Is the mask reusable, and how do you clean it?

Yes, the mask is reusable. Wash it in warm soapy water, rinse it several times, and air-dry it. Chlorhexidine solution or wipes also sanitize it.1, 2

Can pet owners use it at home?

Yes. Pet owners use the mask with home oxygen that their veterinarian has set up, and keep one in a travel or emergency kit. The veterinarian sets the flow rate.1, 2

Is this an authentic PureVent mask?

Yes. Pacific Biomedical supplies authentic PureVent Pet Oxygen Masks made by Pawprint Oxygen.
