What is Ozone?
Ozone is just oxygen, like what we breathe, but it has 3 atoms stuck together instead of the normal 2. This extra atom makes ozone a very strong chemical. It wants to come apart and react with other things. The medical grade ozone used for pets must be made the right way from pure oxygen. Ozone generators use electricity to temporarily split apart oxygen molecules and make ozone for treatment. Ozone has a short life. Within 45 minutes, most ozone breaks back down into regular oxygen. This oxygen can then be used by the pet’s cells for energy. The temporary extra atom is what gives ozone its healing powers.
