Do you know what to do if your dog stops breathing?
Knowing a few emergency procedures, such as CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) and the Heimlich maneuver for dogs, could be critical in saving your dog’s life because if you find your dog is choking, or having difficulty breathing, you may not have time to get to a vet and your dog could suffocate.
You can’t beat attending a real CPR (Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation) class held and taught by a reputable and qualified organization such as the American Red Cross, but an emergency guide on how to perform an emergency CPR on your dog could go a long way.. and could even save your pooch’s life!
