OxyPet Case Study 1 Blog: 53% Faster Absorption Rate Than Standard Bottled Water

Updated: 7 days ago

By Lindsey John Taylor, Co-Founder of OxyPet What Our First Scientific Case Study Could Mean for Dogs & Cats — A Note from Me

When we started this journey with nano-bubble oxygen water in OxyPet, I wasn’t chasing trends; I was just listening to the dogs.

I see the benefits with my own dog, Mowgli, and so many others. Their energy, breathing, and skin were changing positively in ways I couldn’t ignore. But we also wanted to give science a voice — because the dogs were already speaking loud and clear.

So, we ran our first study. One simple question:

Does OxyPet absorb faster into the body than standard water?

And the answer? Yes — by a long way.

 

🧪 What We Found

In this first case study, we tested the nano-bubble oxygen water in OxyPet against standard purified water using a diagnostic ultrasound to track stomach emptying — an indicator of how fast water is absorbed.

Here’s what we found:

  • Standard water took an average of 7.5 minutes

  • OxyPet took just 3.5 minutes — a 53% faster absorption rate

This highlights that OxyPet is more than just hydration—it’s gentle yet fast-acting support. The nano-bubble oxygen is absorbed smoothly without burdening the digestive system (i.e., the gut).


 

Why Is OxyPet Absorbed So Much Faster?

This is due to the nano-bubble oxygen particles.

OxyPet is filled with ultra-small oxygen bubbles, typically just 50–120 nanometres in size. These bubbles are small enough to pass through the gut wall directly into the bloodstream, unlike larger bubbles found in regular water.

Because they’re electrically charged (zeta potential), they stay suspended longer and remain bioavailable. Unlike most oxygen waters, OxyPet’s nano-bubbles don’t escape — thanks to patented technology. This is why the body absorbs the water faster and more effectively.

 

🐾 Why This Could Matter for Dogs & Cats — Scientifically

✅ More Energy — Because Oxygen = Cellular Fuel

Every cell in a dog’s body uses oxygen in the mitochondria to produce ATP — the energy currency of life. Delivering bioavailable oxygen quickly may support energy production in tired, senior, or respiratory-compromised dogs.

✅ Better Skin and Coat — Hydration from Within

The skin is one of the last organs to receive water during dehydration. Fast, deep hydration could support elasticity, reduce itching, and improve coat health.

✅ Improved Breathing, Especially in BOAS-Prone Breeds

Flat-faced dogs often struggle to draw in enough oxygen — and many have fewer red blood cells. With OxyPet, we’re not relying solely on the lungs. The gut becomes a second oxygen delivery route, which may offer unique support for Bulldogs, Frenchies, Pugs, Cavaliers, and similar breeds.

✅ Faster Recovery From Walks, Heat, or Illness

Oxygen and hydration are the foundations of recovery.

  • Oxygen helps repair tissue and manage inflammation

  • Hydration regulates temperature and supports detox

With faster absorption, OxyPet may help dogs recover more efficiently.

✅ Cognitive Clarity — The Brain Needs Water and Oxygen Too

The brain is roughly 75% water. Better hydration and oxygen supply may support mental clarity, mood, and age-related decline in dogs.

 

💧 How Much Should Pets Drink?

In the study, participants consumed 1000ml (1 litre) of OxyPet.  Here’s a general guide for dogs especially: Suggested Daily OxyPet Intake by a Dogs Weight

Dog’s Weight

Suggested Daily OxyPet Intake

Est. 9L Cases per Month

5–10kg

~300ml

1 case

10–20kg

~400–500ml

1–2 cases

20–30kg

~600ml

2 cases

30kg+

~800–1,000ml

3–4 cases


Because the nano-bubble oxygen in OxyPet hydrates more effectively, many pet parents find their dogs drink less overall but stay better hydrated.


 

🌬️ Why Nano-Bubble Oxygen Matters

Not all oxygenated waters are created equal.

What makes OxyPet different is its nano-sized bubbles and zeta potential, which allow oxygen to remain suspended and pass through the gut lining efficiently. 🫧 What Is a Nano-Bubble?

A nano-bubble is an ultra-small gas bubble, less than 200 nanometres in diameter — often just 50–120nm. That’s at least 250 times smaller than a human hair.

These bubbles behave differently:

  • They stay suspended in liquid (don’t rise and burst)

  • They carry a negative surface charge (zeta potential)

  • They can penetrate biological barriers, like the gut wall

In short:

  • Nano size = faster and deeper absorption

  • Zeta potential = stable delivery into the bloodstream

This is why standard oxygenated water doesn’t compare.

 

💭 Final Thought

This first case study reflects what many customers have seen in their dogs. Importantly, we tested OxyPet on humans first because we prioritise the well-being of animals at every step of the way. 📥 [View Case Study One – PDF]
