You cannot fly with Pawprint Oxygen's portable oxygen canisters because they are classified as hazardous materials (hazmat) by the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration). Here’s why:⁠
⁠
FAA Regulations Prohibit Compressed on Flights: The FAA bans compressed oxygen cylinders (including portable oxygen canisters) on commercial airlines due to the fire and explosion risk in pressurized aircraft cabins. Oxygen is not flammable by itself, but it accelerates combustion, which makes it a safety hazard on flights.⁠
⁠
Risk of Pressure Changes in Flight: Airplane cabins experience pressure fluctuations, which could potentially cause the canisters to leak or rupture. Even though Pawprint Oxygen’s canisters are designed for safety, airlines do not allow compressed oxygen cylinders due to the potential for leaks in a confined space.

Help your pet feel safe with oxygen therapy 🐾
Using an oxygen chamber doesn’t have to be scary—for you or your pet. One of the best ways to ease the transition? Treat training.

🦴 By using treats and praise, you can help your pet associate the oxygen chamber with something positive. Over time, this reduces fear and builds trust.

💨 Why does this matter? Because the more relaxed your pet is, the more effective oxygen therapy becomes. Stress and anxiety can increase breathing rate and reduce how much oxygen your pet actually absorbs. Calm pets breathe deeper, slower, and respond better.

🐕‍🦺 Whether your pet is recovering from surgery, managing a chronic condition, or dealing with breathing issues, starting slow—with plenty of treats—can make a big difference.

Start with the door open. Let them sniff. Reward curiosity. Then build from there. You’ve got this—and we’re here to help every breath of the way.

Yes, the vents on an oxygen chamber do allow oxygen to escape, but they serve an important purpose:

🔄 Controlled Oxygen Flow – The vents help maintain a steady level of oxygen inside the chamber while preventing dangerous buildup of excess oxygen, which could create a fire hazard.

💨 Prevents CO₂ Buildup – As your pet breathes, they exhale carbon dioxide. Without proper ventilation, CO₂ could accumulate inside the chamber, reducing the available oxygen and making it harder for your to breathe.

🌬️ Safety & Comfort – The vents ensure the chamber stays at a safe, therapeutic concentration (typically around 40-60% oxygen) while keeping airflow fresh and stable.

So while oxygen does escape through the vents, the chamber is designed to deliver an effective dose of oxygen therapy without the risks of over-concentration. 🚑🐾
