General
Oxygen water, also known as oxygenated water, has been infused or enriched with more oxygen gas (O2) above the average atmospheric oxygen concentration. This is typically achieved through a process called oxygenation, where oxygen gas is dissolved into water under pressure.
Oxygenated water can contain higher levels of dissolved oxygen than regular tap water or natural bodies of water. Some believe the increased oxygen concentration in oxygen water has potential health benefits, as oxygen is an essential element required for cellular respiration and metabolism in living organisms.
Oxygen water is marketed and sold in various forms, such as bottled water, oxygenated sports drinks, and oxygen-enhanced beverages. Some proponents of oxygenated water claim it can provide increased energy, improved athletic performance, enhanced recovery, and other health benefits. However, scientific evidence supporting these claims is limited, and the effectiveness of oxygenated water for improving health or performance is a topic of debate among experts.
OxyPet is not your ordinary or average oxygenated water as it is full of nano-bubble oxygen, which remains stable in the liquid and doesn’t escape unless consumed. Nano-bubble oxygen is different from regular oxygenated water in several ways.
Nano-bubble oxygen, also known as oxygen nanobubbles or oxygenated nanobubbles, refers to tiny bubbles of oxygen, typically less than 100 nanometers in size and suspended in a liquid medium, such as water. These nanobubbles are so small that they can remain stable in the liquid for extended periods without rising to the surface and escaping as gas.
Nano-bubble oxygen is different from regular oxygenated water in several ways:
Size: Nano-bubble oxygen consists of tiny bubbles in the nanometer range, while oxygenated water typically contains larger bubbles or dissolved oxygen at the molecular level.
Stability: Nano-bubble oxygen can remain suspended in the liquid for more extended periods of time compared to regular oxygenated water, which can lose its dissolved oxygen more quickly due to factors such as temperature, pressure, agitation and the processing used to create it.
Surface area: Nano-bubble oxygen has a significantly larger surface area compared to regular oxygenated water due to the small size of the bubbles. This increased surface area may allow for more efficient oxygen transfer to the surrounding liquid, which can affect its potential benefits.
Concentration: Nano-bubble oxygen can potentially contain higher concentrations of oxygen compared to regular oxygenated water, as the small size of the bubbles allows for a more significant amount of oxygen to be trapped within the liquid.
Nano-bubble oxygen has been studied for various applications, including in agriculture, animals, humans, aquaculture, wastewater treatment, and as a potential therapeutic agent in medicine.
OxyPet is an everyday drinking essential for naturally putting more oxygen into an animal’s body. We use organic natural spring water that has been infused with nano-bubble oxygen.
OxyPet is known for its instant, unique and distinctive ultra-smooth superior taste. It delivers deep hydration & oxygenation to the body in a way which has not been done before, showing an almost immediate positive effect on the blood profile seen through live blood analysis, clinical trials and peer review studies.
OxyPet contains no additives, no stabilisers & no salts. OxyPet consists of Natural Spring water & Additional Nano-Particle Atmospheric Oxygen. The additional oxygen encapsulated in OxyPet is bio-available, which means if your body is low on oxygen, it will take it, and the rest is simply disposed away.
Oxygen deficiency is a direct precursor to nearly all illnesses and diseases. Without this vital element, animal life ends in approximately 6 minutes. Oxygen is also needed to build new cells and tissue, replace old tissue, dispose of waste material and reproduce more cells.
Currently, Hyperbaric Treatment (oxygen under pressure) is available to oxygenate the body. This includes ventilation commonly used in veterinary medicine.
Another method to deliver more oxygen is through oxygen masks and hoods covering an animal’s nose or mouth, which are used in veterinary clinics and hospitals.
Oxygen cages or tents have also been used, where animals are placed in cages or tents and oxygen is delivered into enclosed spaces.
Nasal Cannula is another method whereby small tubes are inserted into an animal's nostrils to deliver oxygen directly into the nasal passage.
Lastly, oxygen nano-bubble water, where OxyPet sits, delivers more oxygen through drinking water naturally and safely.
Oxygen deficiency is the most overlooked aspect of all health problems. The body can heal and repair itself when given the right nutrients, the number 1 being oxygen. In today’s world, the body's system is overloaded with toxins from food, water, the environment, and medications. Toxin starves the body’s cells of oxygen, and this is where all health issues come from. The term hypoxia is known as hypoxia.
The more oxygen we can put into the body and cells, the healthier animals can be; this is where all healing begins.
OxyPet uses natural spring water perfectly balanced PH level of 6.5-7 before adding oxygen.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recommends that the pH level of water sources be at a pH measurement level between 6.0 to 8.5 on a scale ranging from 0 to 14. The best natural pH level for drinking water sits right in the middle at 7.
Spring water is characterised by its purity at the source and its minerals and trace elements content. Magnesium, calcium, sodium and potassium are the main minerals found in spring waters.
Spring water provides much-needed oxygen to the body and the brain, aids in good digestion, helps us maintain a healthy weight, and tastes great. Spring water never tastes flat or boiled. It makes for an excellent drinking experience that does wonders for the body.
Spring water has a higher level of oxygen compared to tap water. It is not treated using chemicals which are found to be carcinogenic.
OxyPet oxygen water is created by a patented nano-bubble oxygen technology system to achieve a superior level of water oxygenation, validated by independent laboratory tests to contain approximately 700% more dissolved oxygen than municipal tap water or standard bottled water, delivered in the form of oxygen nano-particles. The unique physical properties of OxyPet oxygenated water are due to the presence of nano-particle-sized oxygen bubbles measuring below 100 nm in diameter. The technology infuses natural, mineral-rich spring water with atmospheric purified oxygen. This results in an oxygen profile that consists of approximately 8.3 mg/mL of dissolved oxygen (DO) naturally from the source, which is further infused with approximately 67 mg/mL of nano-particle oxygen during the oxygen process. The final, bottled OxyPet oxygenated water achieves a total dissolved oxygen concentration of approximately 75.3 mg/mL, superior to any other product on the market. Potentially more important than the total oxygen concentration is the form in which the oxygen exists in OxyPet oxygenated water. The patented technology that produces nano-particle oxygen water is the only one to deliver stable oxygen that is bioactive and absorbable by the body.
Forever chemicals, also known as poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), are a group of artificial chemical compounds known for their persistent nature in the environment and potential health risks. PFAS are synthetic chemicals used in a wide range of industrial and consumer products for several decades due to their unique properties, such as being water-repellent, heat-resistant, and resistant to degradation.
The term "forever chemicals" is often used to refer to PFAS because they are highly persistent in the environment and do not easily break down over time. This means that once PFAS are released into the environment, they can persist for a long time, leading to contamination of air, water, soil, and food contamination. PFAS can accumulate in the environment and living organisms, including humans, and have been detected in various parts of the world, including remote areas far from their original source of release.
There are thousands of PFAS compounds, and some of the most well-known ones include perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS). However, there are many other types of PFAS with different chemical structures. PFAS have been used in many applications, including firefighting foams, non-stick coatings (e.g., Teflon), stain-resistant coatings (e.g., in carpets and textiles), food packaging, and many other industrial and consumer products.
There are growing concerns about the potential health risks associated with exposure to PFAS. Some studies have suggested that PFAS may be associated with adverse health effects, such as developmental and reproductive issues, liver damage, immune system impacts, and an increased risk of certain cancers. However, more research is needed to understand the health risks associated with PFAS exposure entirely, and regulatory agencies worldwide are actively monitoring and assessing the potential dangers of PFAS.
Due to their persistent nature and potential health risks, there has been increasing regulatory scrutiny and efforts to reduce or eliminate the use of PFAS in various products and applications. Many countries have implemented regulations or guidelines for PFAS in drinking water, food, and consumer products, and there are ongoing efforts to mitigate PFAS contamination and develop safer alternatives to these chemicals.
The only way to know what PFAS are in your drinking water is to take a sample and send it to an independent laboratory or microbiologist.
Free radicals can come from various sources and may be found in different products.
Some common sources of free radicals in everyday life include:
Environmental pollutants: Exposure to air pollution, water pollution, radiation, and other environmental toxins can generate free radicals in the body.
Diet: Certain foods, particularly those using processed ingredients, can generate free radicals during digestion and metabolism. Examples include processed foods (Kibble), processed snacks and treats, cooked foods, and sugary savoury foods high in trans fats.
Medications and drugs: Some medications and drugs, particularly those that undergo metabolic processes in the liver, can generate free radicals as by-products. This includes certain antibiotics, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and some chemotherapy drugs.
Inflammation and infection: Inflammatory processes and infections in the body can trigger the production of free radicals as part of the immune response to pathogens or tissue damage.
Lifestyle factors: Unhealthy lifestyle choices such as smoking, high processed food consumption, and overuse of drugs and medication can increase the production of free radicals in the body.
Industrial and household chemicals: Some cleaning products, pesticides, and other chemicals used in industrial and household settings can generate free radicals upon contact or inhalation.
It's important to note that while free radicals are naturally produced in the body as by-products of cellular processes, external sources of free radicals, such as those listed above, can increase their production and potentially contribute to oxidative stress and associated health risks.
Free radicals can have similar effects on animals as they do on humans. Free radicals are highly reactive molecules or atoms that can cause damage to cells and tissues in animals through oxidative stress. Free radicals can be generated in animals through various natural processes, such as cellular metabolism, and external factors, such as exposure to environmental toxins, radiation, or certain chemicals.
When free radicals react with other molecules in animals, such as proteins, lipids, or DNA, they can steal electrons from these molecules, leading to changes in their structure and function. This can result in cellular damage, and disruption of cellular processes, potentially contributing to various diseases and conditions in animals, similar to humans. For example, oxidative stress caused by free radicals has been implicated in developing conditions such as cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and animal inflammation.
Like humans, animals also have antioxidant defence mechanisms to neutralise or repair the damage caused by free radicals. These defence mechanisms include enzymes such as superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase, as well as antioxidants that can donate electrons to neutralise free radicals and prevent them from causing further damage.
However, similar to humans, when the balance between free radicals and antioxidants is disrupted in animals, such as during periods of excessive oxidative stress or when the body's antioxidant defences are overwhelmed, the accumulation of free radicals can potentially cause harm. Factors such as diet, lifestyle, exposure to environmental pollutants, and genetics can all impact the production of free radicals and the animal's antioxidant status.
Pet parents and animal carers need to be aware of the potential effects of free radicals on their pets or livestock and take steps to minimise oxidative stress.
Oxidative stress is a condition that occurs when there is an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), also known as free radicals, and the body's ability to neutralise or repair the resulting damage. ROS are highly reactive molecules or atoms generated during normal cellular metabolism and other physiological processes in the body, as well as from external sources such as environmental toxins, radiation, and chemicals. These ROS can react with other molecules in the body, such as proteins, lipids, and DNA, and cause damage to cellular structures and functions through a process called oxidation.
Under normal circumstances, the body has defence mechanisms, including antioxidant enzymes and molecules, that neutralise ROS and repair the damage they cause. However, when the production of ROS exceeds the body's ability to balance them, oxidative stress can occur. Oxidative stress can result in cellular damage, disrupt cellular processes and potentially contribute to various diseases and conditions.
Oxidative stress has been implicated in a wide range of health issues, including chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, diabetes, and inflammatory diseases. It can also contribute to ageing and other physiological changes in the body.
Managing oxidative stress involves reducing exposure to risk factors we have listed above, adopting a healthy natural lifestyle and consuming natural pure water and food, maintaining a balanced diet rich in antioxidants and reducing medication and drug use. Regular physical activity, low-stress environments and adequate sleep can also contribute to reducing oxidative stress.
It depends on what you mean by safe?
Will your animal die from drinking tap water tomorrow, very likely no. However, all tap drinking water in the UK is chemically treated and has lower oxygen than natural spring water alone. There is enough evidence to show that consuming chemicals and toxins over some time does more harm than good to one’s health. The UK is flying blind to the level of forever chemicals in drinking tap water which has been readily reported in the news over the past three years.
If you want to be 100% certain of what is in your drinking water, send a sample to a microbiologist like ALS Testing or Kernow Microbiology. Only by doing this will you be entirely sure what your animal is drinking.
Our mission is to put more oxygen into animals, and it just so happens the purest spring water, free from “forever chemicals” we can find, so our animals get the best of both worlds.
What you give your pet is entirely up to you.
OxyPet is about providing the most advanced health solution for our animals naturally. Our studies show we have more than 700% more oxygen than tap water, which is great for health benefits and free from toxins and surpasses tap, filtered, and bottled water.
Also, animals on OxyPet consume less water because the quality creates optimal hydration much faster.
Yes, and so are fizzy drinks and many other drinks…..but these are not suitable for optimal health.
OxyPet is about more oxygen and optimal health for our animals.
Wild animals drink from springs and rivers surrounded by lush greens and trees. Our domesticated animals can only choose what you put in their bowls. If it is a choice of chemically treated tap water against spring water that has been oxygenated, their nose will choose the best.
To our knowledge, the drinking water supply in the United Kingdom is predominantly privately owned and controlled by the government and shareholders. In England and Wales, the water and sewerage services are provided by private water and sewerage companies, which are regulated by the Water Services Regulation Authority (Ofwat). In Scotland, the water and sewerage services are provided by publicly owned water authorities, while in Northern Ireland, they are provided by a government-owned company.
There are currently 18 water and sewerage companies in England and Wales, such as Thames Water, United Utilities, Severn Trent Water, and Yorkshire Water, among others. These companies are owned by private shareholders, including institutional investors and individual shareholders, and are regulated by Ofwat, which sets the price limits and service standards they must adhere to.
It's worth noting that the ownership and regulatory structure of the water and sewerage services in the UK can change over time due to policy decisions, legislation, and market dynamics. Therefore, it's always recommended to consult up-to-date and authoritative sources for the most current information on this topic.
As private entities, water companies are primarily driven by profit as they operate as commercial enterprises to generate revenue and provide returns to their shareholders. While water companies are profit-driven, they are also subject to regulations by the government that prioritise the health and safety of consumers and the environment.
The standards they provide are in terms of safe, not in terms of what is deemed healthy.
Dogs that drink out of muddy puddles and not so much from their bowls can be seen as they communicate that they don’t like the water in their bowls. Have you ever considered this?
A dog's nose is 1,000 times stronger than a human's. Could you imagine smelling a thousand times stronger than you can now? Hard to comprehend, isn’t it?
Our amazing dogs can therefore smell toxins and chemicals in their drinking water which we can’t.
If they had a choice, their nose and sent would pick the best water for them. Why not purchase OxyPet get two brand new bowls, and put their current drinking water down and OxyPet oxygen and see which ones it goes for? We say new bowls (glass is good) because they associate their existing bowl with normal water.
Firstly, OxyPet does not entirely agree with the testing of animals in cages where the animal is under stress or not in their natural environment. All animals should be treated with the utmost care. This form of testing goes against our animal welfare standards. We choose to promote better ways of testing.
When testing the technology used for our oxygen water and the nano-bubble oxygen, this has been done under medical conditions with qualified professors, doctors and blood specialists. Humans, dogs, cats, and horses are all mammals, so the effects on humans would be the same for dogs, cats, and horses.
Secondly, a history of studies has taken place with animals using nano-bubbles. The studies have shown that the dissolved oxygen content in OxyPet is the same or surpasses previous studies.
Thirdly, customers who use OxyPet to support their animal's blood flow and choose to have their animal's blood tested for different health reasons claim that their pet’s blood has improved since drinking OxyPet oxygen.
The oxygen nano-bubbles in OxyPet are made available to the alimentary canal and are not forced into tissues. The oxygen nano-bubbles are presented to the tissues and, due to their extremely small size, are utilised readily by intestinal tissues to bring oxygen into the cells. Thus, there cannot be toxic effects or overdosing on the constituents of OxyPet water. The cells will be extracted, and all excess will be excreted.
Unlike humans’ animals cannot do breathing exercises to increase oxygen levels. Oxygen therapy is used worldwide to prevent and support health issues which are good but costly and can be very stressful to animals.
OxyPet is a natural health supplement which is an easy, safe way to improve health. With higher-than-ever toxicity levels in food, water, certain medications and the environment, everyone could do with more oxygen.
Of course, many animals love to drink OxyPet after eating as it aids digestion due to its higher oxygen concentration and smooth taste.
Animals on a processed pet food diet will be more dehydrated than that on a raw meaty bones diet due to the way it is processed and the higher concentration of e-numbers, additives and other ingredients.
