pet agree By Jenna Robbins Pet Oxygen Masks: Next Best Thing to a Firehouse Dog If you have a dog or cat and need an alternative to conventional fencing, have rooms in your home that must be off limits or need to protect your pet from a swimming pool, pond or from road access, you owe it to yourself and your dog to find out how easy the solution can be. For more information about Canine Control Company and the Invisible Fence Brand animal recovery mask donation program visit invisiblefence.com or request a kit for your fire department.

hope that by donating pet oxygen mask kits to local fire departments, we will contribute to saving more pets’ lives and protecting pet owners that may risk their own life to save a pet in a fire.” The donation of these specially designed and potentially lifesaving animal oxygen mask sets will enable the first responders to efficiently administer oxygen to stricken animals. Originally developed for use by veterinarians, oxygen masks for pets are now becoming part of the standard life saving equipment used by firefighters. The cone-shaped plastic masks fit snuggly over an animal’s muzzle. It comes in three sizes and can be used to resuscitate dogs, cats, ferrets, rabbits, guinea pigs, or even birds suffering from smoke inhalation. The undeniable love that people have for their pets not only increases the devastating effect that a fire can have on a family but it also increases the risk to human safety and loss of life. It is a documented fact that during a fire, pets will seek safety by hiding. This causes precious time to be wasted by people with pets because they will either refuse to leave their burning home before they find their pet or they will actually reenter a burning building in an attempt to find and rescue their pets. This new program of donating pet oxygen masks is only a small part of an ongoing attempt to protect the pets we share our lives and homes with. Veit and her wonderful associates at Canine Control agree that it’s all about solutions. As a
professional trainer, I can tell you first hand, that solutions remove the obstacles that stand in the way of having a great relationship with your pet. There is a gross misunderstanding of what pet containment is and how it works. Canine Control offers a marriage between technology, installation and training for you and your pet, based on a life long commitment to the safety and wellbeing of dogs. I have been to many homes that have a stockade or cyclone fence enclosing the back and sides of their property. However, my first question to the homeowner is, “Does your dog run out the front door and what do you do if that happens?”
