Oreo has some ye**ty nail bed issues happening so we gave them a skin therapy session as part of his groom. A foot ozone spa will help heal this issue - here is some facts in Ozone Skin Therapy
What is Ozone?
• Ozone (O₃) is a molecule made of three oxygen atoms.
• It is an unstable form of oxygen with strong oxidative properties.
• Ozone therapy combines 95–99.95% oxygen with 0.05–5% ozone, produced by a certified medical ozone generator.
• It is considered an adjunct (complementary) therapy, meaning it supports conventional veterinary treatment rather than replacing it.
How Does Ozone Work?
1. Antimicrobial Effects
Ozone helps reduce microorganisms by:
• Damaging bacterial cell membranes.
• Oxidising fungal cell membranes.
• Reducing bacterial, fungal and viral load.
• Helping disrupt biofilms.
2. Improves Oxygen Delivery
Ozone stimulates:
• Better oxygen utilisation by tissues.
• Increased ATP (cellular energy) production.
• Improved blood circulation.
• Enhanced tissue metabolism.
These effects may help support tissue repair.
3. Immune Modulation
Rather than simply "stimulating" immunity, ozone helps regulate it by:
• Activating macrophages and neutrophils.
• Increasing production of growth factors.
• Encouraging antioxidant enzyme production.
• Helping balance inflammatory responses.
4. Anti-inflammatory Effects
Ozone may reduce inflammation by:
• Decreasing pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1, IL-6, TNF-α).
• Increasing anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-4, IL-10, TGF-β).
• Supporting NRF2 antioxidant pathways.
Clinical Benefits Reported
Research suggests ozone therapy may assist with:
• Chronic wounds
• Surgical wound healing
• Skin infections
• Burns
• Otitis
• Dermatitis
• Antibiotic-resistant infections
• Tissue repair
• Pain management
It should always be considered an adjunct to conventional veterinary care.
Published studies have shown:
• Faster wound healing
• Improved graft survival
• Reduced bacterial load
• Reduced inflammation
• Less reliance on antibiotics in some cases
• Faster recovery in selected clinical cases
