OxyPet Case Study 3: How Blood Profile Changes Could Benefit Dogs & Cats

Updated: 7 days ago

By Lindsey John Taylor, Co-Founder of OxyPet

OxyPet was developed to do more than just hydrate — it's here to support physiological function by improving blood quality and oxygen delivery throughout the body.

The latest independent analysis using live blood microscopy adds another layer of insight into what the nano-bubble oxygen in OxyPet may be doing at the cellular level.


 

🧬 What the Science Shows

This case study used live blood microscopy — a technique that observes the quality and behaviour of red blood cells in real time. It can detect blood anomalies, inflammation, and cellular stress long before they show up in standard blood tests.

The study involved two participants. Blood was evaluated:

  • After consuming municipal tap water

  • Following a 45-minute washout

  • And again, 15 minutes after drinking 500ml of OxyPet Oxygen Nanoparticle Water

Here’s what was observed:

❌ After Tap Water:

  • Rouleaux formation (clumped red blood cells)

  • Presence of fibrinogen (a marker of inflammation and blood clotting)

  • Congested blood with poor flow and visibility

  • Inability to assess individual cell shape due to blood stagnation

✅ After OxyPet:

  • No rouleaux (free-flowing blood cells)

  • No fibrinogen (reduced inflammation markers)

  • No poikilocytes (abnormally shaped red blood cells)

  • Healthy, round, viable red blood cells with strong membrane definition

  • Improved zeta potential (better blood cell repulsion and flow)

Clinical testing is carried out independently and on humans, as we prioritise the well-being of animals.

This study has been conducted over three years on over 100+ humans, and has consistently shown these positive changes in blood quality.

 

🐾 Why This Could Matter for Dogs & Cats

Like humans, dogs and cats depend on healthy red blood cells and circulating oxygen to fuel every organ and tissue. This study could indicate a shift toward healthier blood flow and reduced inflammation—two things deeply linked to chronic disease, fatigue, recovery, and immune health.

These improvements in blood profile may be relevant for: 1. Dogs with Inflammatory Conditions (Skin, Joints, Gut)Fibrinogen is a recognised marker of systemic inflammation. Its absence after OxyPet suggests a reduced inflammatory load. Chronic inflammation underlies many health issues, including arthritis, skin flare-ups, and IBD.  📚 Ref: Inflammation and Fibrinogen Markers in Dogs – Veterinary Immunology, 2018

 

2. Dogs with Poor Circulation or Older Dogs Rouleaux and blood congestion are signs of sticky, sluggish blood. Reducing this can support better circulation and oxygen delivery. Better flow means improved nutrient transport and detoxification.  📚 Ref: Haemorheological Parameters in Geriatric Dogs – Vet Record, 2019

 

3. Dogs with Low Energy or Chronic Fatigue Improved zeta potential supports optimal blood movement, reducing cellular stress and improving energy delivery.  This could be especially helpful for dogs recovering from illness, trauma, or long-term stress.  📚 Ref: Red Blood Cell Morphology and Energy Metabolism in Canines – J Vet Sci Res, 2017

 

4. Dogs with Compromised Detoxification (Liver, Lymph, Kidney) Efficient blood flow aids the detox organs by reducing waste load and supporting better filtration. OxyPet may support sluggish detox pathways due to age, medication, or toxin exposure.  📚 Ref: Blood Flow and Detoxification Support in Dogs – Vet Clinics of North America, 2021

 

5. Healthy or Agility Dogs (Prevention and Performance) Even in healthy dogs, optimal blood quality improves stamina, performance, and cellular resilience. For agility and working dogs, a stronger red blood cell structure and flow support better oxygen delivery during physical demand. This may reduce oxidative stress and muscle fatigue, aiding faster recovery.  📚 Ref: Comparative Exercise Physiology, 2020; Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry and Physiology in Canine Athletes, 2020

 

💧 How Much Should Dogs Have?

Based on our oxygenation study (Case Study 2), the optimal amount is approximately 9.5–19ml per kg of body weight per day.

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

This can be offered as part their new daily hydration or added to meals.

 

✅ Gentle. Effective. Proactive.

This case study adds to the growing body of evidence that nano-bubble oxygen supports more than just hydration. It may contribute to improved blood flow, cellular health, and inflammation reduction.

By enhancing the quality and behaviour of red blood cells, OxyPet may help the body work more efficiently — which could be particularly important for dogs managing chronic conditions, staying active, or aiming for long-term health resilience.
