Firemen administer oxygen with the life saving WAG'N O2 FUR LIFE® Pet Oxygen Mask.

The Cleveland County Board of Commissioners is proud to reaffirm its commitment to the health, safety, and well-being of all members of our community, both human and animal. In a continued effort to support emergency preparedness and compassionate care, Cleveland County is pleased to announce the acquisition and distribution of WAG'N O2 FUR LIFE® Pet Oxygen Mask Kits. These kits are designed to assist first responders in providing life-saving oxygen to animals in distress.
To ensure rapid deployment and maximum coverage, the County will distribute two kits to each Volunteer Fire Department and one kit to every ambulance.
The reusable Pet Oxygen Mask Kits can be used to:
• Administer oxygen to pets suffering from smoke or carbon monoxide inhalation.
• Stabilize animals injured in accidents or emergency situations.
• Support working dogs with heat exhaustion or respiratory distress
• Provide pre-transport oxygen therapy before veterinary care
• Fit a range of animal sizes with interchangeable mask options
• Easily connect to standard emergency oxygen equipment
• Improve survival rates and foster community trust during animal rescues.
Cleveland County remains committed to equipping our first responders with the tools they need to save lives. These kits represent an important step in supporting the vital bond between people and their pets, especially in moments of crisis.
