The Ultimate Doggie Beauty Treatment: The Dog O2 from AirPress
Oxygen chambers were made famous by Michael Jackson, but they've been used for years by all kinds of people who believe in their anti-aging properties. If you've been treating yourself to oxygen therapy treatments, either in a salon/spa setting or in your home overnight like Michael, why not do the same for your pet? Now you can with the Dog O2 from AirPress -- it's a doggie-sized oxygen therapy chamber.
What do you think? I think it looks like a torture chamber! Besides, my little Piper is beautiful enough already.

If this wasn't too expensive, I'd probably get it. My puppy had a bad case of aspiration pneumonia and almost died, but part of her recovery therapy was confinement in an O2 cage for a week. I had to nebulize her for about a month after I brought her home from the hospital, and If I'd had something like this, her rehabilitation would have been easier and possibly more effective.

"Oxygen therapy" doesn't make you more healthy unless you're already really really sick.
Lots of extra O2 just makes you stoned, and can actually be really bad for you. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen_toxicity
Also, remember how they talk up "anti-oxidants"? Guess what "oxidant" means. They can't both be true.
As for our man's pet here, he could have done just as well with a plastic tarp, an oxygen supply, and some duct tape. Hospitals don't use set ups like that barometric pressure chamber for anything but treating the bends, altitude sickness, and the occasional case of flesh eating bacteria. (got those? No?) They use oxygen tents. A little less pressure, a little more oxygen and a ton less money and annoyance.
Oh yeah. if this is really that important they make inflatable ones for back packers that even a human can fit in that cost as little as 1200$ which is probably cheaper than this thing. They're also rentable by the way. http://www.high-altitude-medicine.com/hyperbaric.html

My dogs would hate this! They would feel they were being punished. What an awful idea, unless your dog has a health concern which would require it.

Just another product that some rich fool will purchase... why couldn't I have come up with it?! Ha!

Oxigen speeds up aging, the very thing that we need to breathe is what ages us. This is taught in every Anatomy and Physiology class in the world. So why would we want our dogs to die earlier???
However, for Michael.......

Another status symbol for the brainless idiots with a high credit line. Ever notice "wealthy" people never buy this stupid shit. It's the WANNABES attempting to look rich. I LOL @ every one of them!

Seriously, if you have a sick dog (or cat for that matter) and it would benefit their health, and you could afford it, OK. But really, if you've got that kind of money to throw around wouldn't it be better spent to support homeless animals, provide vet care for animals who's average income owners couldn't afford their special treatment, or duh, even help humans? People with money waste it on crap when they could make a difference for humanity, even on a small level. How about $1,000 for food or vet care for a shelter instead of a status item for your home.

Well that poor dog looks freaked out!
I would have to agree that there are cheaper ways of getting H2o for health purposes. My fur kids would think I was harming them if I stuck them in this contraption. I guess we don't have enough gadgets for people so why not start on pet owners to buy useless contraptions that we think will save our dogs lives. Isn't life stressful already in the choices we have to make and purchases on things that might save our or our pets lives??

Even if you are wealthly, that's stupid. That dog is clueless.
