Why Activated Oxygen is a Game-Changer for Wound Healing

Why Activated Oxygen is a Game-Changer for Wound Healing

When it comes to healing wounds in animals, time matters — and so does the method. At VetZoneRx, we use a powerful ingredient in our wound care products that you won’t find on most store shelves: activated oxygen, also known as ozonated oil.

But what is it? And why is it so effective?

Let’s break down why this science-backed approach is helping animals recover faster, cleaner, and with fewer complications.


🌬️ What Is Activated Oxygen?

Activated oxygen is created by combining pure oxygen with ozone (O₃) — a highly energized form of oxygen — and infusing it into high-quality oils like sunflower or olive oil.

The result? A stable ozonated oil that retains its antimicrobial and regenerative properties when applied to the skin or wounds.


⚕️ How It Works on Wounds

When applied topically, ozonated oils:

  • 🦠 Disrupt harmful bacteria and fungi
    — without damaging healthy tissue like harsh antiseptics can

  • 💉 Stimulate microcirculation
    — encouraging blood flow to the area so oxygen and nutrients can fuel repair

  • 🧬 Support tissue regeneration
    — by gently activating local immune response and growth factors

  • 🌱 Create a clean, oxygen-rich environment
    — ideal for healing without excessive scabbing or proud flesh


🐾 Clinical Advantages for Animals

Whether you’re dealing with a scraped horse leg, a cracked show pig back, or a hotspot on your dog — activated oxygen delivers safe, non-toxic healing support that works with the body, not against it.

"I've used VetZoneRx’s wound spray on everything from deep lacerations to post-surgical sites — and the healing curve is noticeably faster."
— Dr. Meghan Qualls, DVM
