Furry Friends: “Grateful Dog” Donates pet masks

“Wag’N” Donates pet masks

Carol Monaco, with Marketwise Insights, Inc., recently nominated Greater Brighton Fire to receive pet oxygen masks through a company called Wag’N. Brighton Fire was selected and Wag’N has donated pet O2 masks through a program called “O2 Fur Life” that provides the necessary equipment for pet rescue breathing. Greater Brighton Fire is one of only 14 fire departments in the State who have received pet O2 masks through this program. Five kits were donated through the program, which provides for one set of three masks for each of our five fire stations. Each kit contains three masks of different sizes for various size pets. The kits have been placed on the fire engines and crews have been trained in using the masks. Thank you to Carol and Wag’N for the generous donation.

Owners of The Grateful Dog pet boarding will donate three pet oxygen masks to Greater Brighton Fire. The three masks that are being donated are of three different sizes for use on various sized pets. The masks can be carried on a fire apparatus and will be available for use on pets in suffering from respiratory distress and smoke inhalation.

Prior to this generous donation our firefighters were unable to appropriately administer oxygen to a pet in need. Now, however, the masks will be available for use whenever the need arises.

The masks will be delivered by Mike & Heather Hathaway from The Grateful Dog to Brighton Fire Station 51 on Tuesday, December 7th around 1 pm.
