What is Ozone Therapy?

Ozone, or O3, is created by applying a low-voltage electrical current to pure, medical-grade oxygen. This process splits the oxygen molecules into atoms, which then form into triplets, or O3 (ozone). During treatment, the ozone molecules enter the body and break back down into O2 and O1 molecules.

Ozone therapy delivers soluble oxygen to areas of the body to increase healing and kill off harmful viruses, bacteria, and other intruders. There are different ways to administer ozone therapy, depending on your pet’s condition. Ozone can be given as an injection, intravenously, topically, or even as an inhalant.

Ozone therapy is useful in treating a wide range of health issues in dogs and cats, including:

  • Ear infections (otitis externa)
  • Heart disease
  • Bacterial infections
  • Fungal infections
  • Wounds

Ozone Therapy and Cancer Treatment

Here in the US, cancer is the leading cause of death in almost 50% of dogs, and in approximately 32% of cats. Ozone therapy can be indicated for the treatment of various types of cancer, because ozone molecules target and destroy cancer cells. Furthermore, ozone therapy helps healthy cells repel harmful viruses, bacteria, and more, all of which can lead to cancer development in dogs and cats.

How Ozone Therapy Can Benefit Your Pet

Ozone therapy can do several key things to improve your pet’s health and quality of life:

  • Stimulates the production of cytokines, which stimulate the immune system
  • Helps to reduce inflammation
  • Inactivates viruses, bacteria, protozoa, yeasts, and fungi while leaving healthy cells untouched
