Invisible Fence® Brand Relaunches Project Breathe™ for National Fire Prevention Month
KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Sept. 30, 2026 – Invisible Fence® Brand, a leader in pet safety for over 50 years, is excited to announce the relaunch of its critical pet oxygen mask donation program, Project Breathe™, in honor of its 20th anniversary and National Fire Prevention Month.
Key Highlights:
- Program Return: Project Breathe™ will supply fire departments and eligible first responder organizations in the U.S. and Canada with free, specially designed pet oxygen mask kits throughout October.
- Critical Need: Annually, around 40,000 pets die in U.S. house fires, primarily due to smoke inhalation. Many pets tend to hide during a fire, making access to life-saving equipment even more crucial.
- Partnership: Each donated kit includes reusable masks in various sizes and is compatible with standard fire and ambulance equipment, featuring a unique tri-vent design to enhance oxygen delivery.
