Pet
Oxygen Masks Donated to EMS and Fire Departments
GREENVILLE - Pets in Darke County now have a better chance of surviving
a fire thanks to the Darke County Friends of the Shelter.
The Darke County Friends of the Shelter recently donated 22 Wag’N 02
Fur Life Pet Oxygen Mask Kits to 10 EMS and 12 Fire Departments in
Darke County. Each kit includes three oxygen masks of differing sizes,
oxygen tubing, a leash and laminated instruction sheet in a bright
orange bag.
Losing a pet due to a house fire can be a devastating experience. As
most pet owners leave their furry companions home alone when they go to
work, pets are left to fend for themselves in the event of a house
fire. Far too many pets die each year of smoke asphyxiation because EMS
and/or fire departments do not have the proper equipment to revive
them. All Darke County services now have the Wag’N 02 Fur Life Pet
Oxygen Mask Kit which can be used on both conscious pets and on pets
that need to be resuscitated. With the three different sized reusable
masks animals of varying sizes can be saved.
To most people, pets are considered part of the family and the Darke
County Friends of the Shelter is proud to honor the companion animals
in our community by keeping them healthy, happy and safe.
