To a degree in both animals and humans, ageing and degenerative diseases are exacerbated by a decrease in oxygen utilization that can affect many of our organs and their functions.
“Every single aspect of healthy living exerts its effects by improving oxygen utilization. … The reason taking that vitamin or doing that exercise, or whatever it is we’re talking about, makes you better and healthier is because it’s improving your oxygen utilization. They’re all doing the same thing. So when you measure oxygen utilization, you’re measuring the sum totality of everything you can possibly do that is working in your body.”
says Frank Shallenberger, MD in Principles and Applications of Ozone Therapy

What is Ozone Therapy?
Put simply, Ozone is a colourless gas that is composed of three oxygen atoms. In a more detailed description, Jonathan Lowe says “Ozone therapy is a medical treatment that uses activated oxygen (ozone or O3) to treat many chronic and acute diseases. It is a biological response modifier that increases oxygen utilization, optimizes mitochondrial function and improves cellular health. It can be applied topically, infused into the blood and tissue through various means, or introduced into a fluid or oil which acts as a carrier.”
So how can Ozone Therapy help my animal?
Ozone therapy is all about oxygen. Your pet will be more susceptible to disease, infections and other unwanted things if their bodies are not working properly to distribute and effectively use oxygen needed by their cells to work properly.
You may have seen that as your animal ages, you are spending more time visiting the vet and the care you are administering is increasing.
This is because animals’ bodies are just like humans in that they start to wear down as they age. Your pet will start to experience joint pain, allergies, fatigue and will likely be sick more often. This happens because as an animal ages, the body’s ability to utilise oxygen properly decreases, which in turn makes it harder to fight off illnesses and heal as well.
