Oxygen Concentrators for Dog Breeders
For breeders & kennels
When a newborn puppy is struggling at 2am, you don't want to be counting what's left in a tank. An oxygen concentrator makes its own oxygen from room air and runs on a standard outlet, so your whelping room is ready whenever your vet says a puppy needs support.
How breeders use oxygen
Breeders keep a concentrator on hand for the moments when puppies or moms need extra oxygen, always under the direction of their veterinarian.
- Weak or premature newborns who need support in an oxygen box or incubator during their first hours and days.
- Puppies delivered by C-section, which can be slower to start breathing well on their own.
- Brachycephalic breeds like Bulldogs, French Bulldogs, and Pugs, which are more prone to breathing trouble.
- Recovery for mom after a difficult delivery or surgery, when your vet recommends it.
Why a concentrator instead of tanks
Always ready
No refills, no running out
A concentrator produces oxygen continuously for as long as it's plugged in. No deliveries to schedule and no empty tank in the middle of a litter.
Lower cost
One purchase, years of use
Instead of paying for every refill, you buy the equipment once. For breeders with multiple litters a year, that adds up quickly.
Simple
Plug in and turn on
Connect tubing to your puppy oxygen box or incubator, set the flow your vet recommends, and it runs quietly in the background.
Which concentrator is right for you
Puppy oxygen boxes and incubators need continuous flow, meaning oxygen flows steadily rather than in puffs. That's why we recommend stationary home concentrators for whelping rooms. Most portable concentrators deliver oxygen in pulses timed to a person's breathing and won't work with an oxygen box.

Common questions
Can I use a portable concentrator for puppies?
Usually not for an oxygen box. Most portables only deliver pulse-dose oxygen, which is triggered by a person's breath and won't fill a box or incubator. A stationary concentrator with continuous flow is the right choice for whelping.
What else do I need besides the concentrator?
You'll need oxygen tubing and something to deliver the oxygen into, such as a puppy oxygen box, incubator, or a mask your vet provides. Call us and we'll help you think through the setup.
Is oxygen safe to use around a whelping area?
Yes, with common-sense precautions. Keep the concentrator and tubing away from open flames, smoking, and high-heat sources, give the concentrator space to breathe, and keep the room ventilated. Follow the safety guidance in your unit's manual.
Do you sell reconditioned units?
Yes. Many of our concentrators are professionally reconditioned, which makes them a cost-effective option for breeders. Browse all concentrators.
