Pet Oxyshot helps cats and dogs instantly with particularly stressful events by increasing their concentration, calmness and relaxed state. It works by assisting oxygen levels in the blood stream during, for example, a car journey or firework display. Pet Oxyshot uses natural ingredients and is given orally. No build up is required for maximum effect, so use it only when they need it. Most calming products require an active ingredient to be built up in the system for it to be effective and so they are often fed daily. With Oxyshot this is not necessary. Increasing oxygen in the blood enhances the effectiveness of all nutrients in the system, including daily fed calmers, joint powders and probiotics. How is it made? The first step in understanding how Pet Oxyshot works is to appreciate the unique proprietary bio-electrical manufacturing process derived from Nasa based technologies and later refined by our scientists. Put simply, deionised water (cleansed of all organic compounds and impurities) with a little salt added (to facilitate an electrolyte solution) is exposed to a serious electric charge. This process of electrolysis progressively ??de-composes? the water by removing hydrogen from the H2O and by uniquely bonding the surplus oxygen molecules together, enabling the solution to remain stable whilst ??super concentrating? the oxygen level. The oxygen is ??stabilised? (meaning ??locked in?? to solution and prevented from becoming a ??gas??). This represents a world first, not only due to the stable qualities of Pet Oxyshot, but due to the neutral pH of 7.9 which makes it safe to drink! (Older technologies require a chemical process that results in potentially toxic PH of 3.4 which means they are unsafe to ingest). How is Pet Oxyshot absorbed into the body? Typically atmospheric oxygen (a gas) is delivered to the body via the lungs. In contrast, Pet Oxyshot (although rich in oxygen) is not a gas, it is an aqueous solution and like all solutions (eg water, alcohol etc) is absorbed via the gastro-intestinal tract, across the gastric membrane. As the gastric membrane is similar in nature to the tissues of the lungs the oxygen ??locked in solution?? crosses over into the blood stream in the same way and this by-passes the first two steps of aerobic respiration (ventilation/gas exchange). The oxygen in a 15ml serve of Pet Oxyshot, whilst not in itself a lot of oxygen (2.25ml) compared to normal respiratory oxygen, is however in a very concentrated liquid form in the solution and this difference is the key to its effectiveness. Give the animal Pet Oxyshot up to 30 minutes before the expected period of stress, ideally on an empty stomach. Following administration restrict your pets feed and water for a minimum of 30 minutes to allow optimum absorption. Oxyshot will last for up to 2 - 3 hours. .
