Tokyo - The Air Press Oxygen Bars For Dogs

Japan's latest fad: a canine oxygen bar that is breathing new life into the meaning of pet posh.

The Air Press, a chain of more than 20 oxygen bars across Japan, has opened its first oxygen bar exclusively for dogs in Tokyo, offering that extra pick-me-up for pups.

The dogs are placed in an air-tight cylinder and oxygen is pumped in the unit. A 30 minute oxygen treatment costs $18.

"My dog may not be tired but is usually kind of lethargic. After he comes here, though, he is enthused and barking with vigor," said Umekichi Sakon, who's pet is an oxygen regular.
