Oxygen Dog House: An O2 Buzz for You and Your Pooch

We have heard about the potential health benefits of inhaling pure oxygen since the 90's—but in Japan this fad is still going strong. In fact, they are getting their dogs involved with products like this new O2 Doghouse. Marketed as a "dog hospital" of sorts, the O2 Doghouse will deliver 100% pure oxygen to your sick pooch while he rests inside. And the best part is that you can hit the generator as well—so both you and your dog can relax side by side. Now that is what I call bonding. [Trends in Japan via DVICE]

Pure oxygen is actually not good for you at all. Oxidants such as oxygen ions are responsible for oxidative DNA damage and cancer.

Till someone swaps the canister with something "not so nice" and then both you and your dog can go into coma induced sleep forever...

pure oxygen can be lethal, and on top of that its highly combustible

@boomersooner9133:

Oxygen is not a fuel and therefore not combustible at all. It is an accelerant, meaning that there needs to be a fuel source. Do me a favor and try to light pure oxygen, it won't work. Now ad butane or propane etc. into the mix and you have and you will have a rapidly growing fire, but the oxygen itself will not catch.

what's up with the oxygen bars i occasionally see news stories on? i'm guessing 'watered' down oxygen?

@omureadhaigh: yes oxygen is an accelerant i knew that and that you cant have a flame in a pure oxygen environment but seeing as the possibility of leak into a non pure oxygen environment is highly plausible its still a great fire hazard
