Today is , a reminder that knowing how to save a life—especially our furry friends—can make all the difference. While having to administer CPR to your pet can be terrifying, being prepared can help you act calmly and confidently in an emergency.

Stay Calm:
1️⃣ Breathe: Take a few deep breaths to steady yourself. Focus on the feeling of the air filling your lungs.
2️⃣ Delegate: If there are bystanders, assign them tasks like finding the nearest emergency vet.
3️⃣ Focus: Keep your mind clear. Concentrate on the steps ahead and stay in the moment.

When to Start CPR:
🐾 Your pet isn’t responding
🐾 Your pet isn’t breathing
🐾 You can’t feel a heartbeat or pulse

How to Perform CPR:
Compressions:
❤️ Position your pet on their side.
❤️ Deliver 120 compressions per minute (2 per second).
❤️ For every 30 compressions, give 2 breaths.

Breaths:
❤️ Close your pet’s mouth and seal it with your fingers.
❤️ Cover their nose with your mouth and give 2 breaths—enough to make their chest rise.
❤️ Check for a heartbeat after 2 minutes. If there’s no pulse, continue.

When to Stop CPR:
🐾 Your pet starts breathing and responding
🐾 You reach the vet clinic and they take over
🐾 You can’t continue physically
🐾 Your pet starts breathing but is still unconscious

Recovery Position:
Place your pet’s head to the side, slightly tilting down (unless there’s head trauma).

Compression Techniques:
🐶 Medium to Large Dogs: Compress one third of the chest depth.
🐱 Small Dogs/Cats: Use your thumb and fingers for compression, or compress directly over the heart.

Stay prepared and know that you can make a difference in your pet's life! ❤️

It's not a good idea to select a dog by looks. Like selecting a car, we might think a sporty model looks great, but we can't complain if we buy it and find it doesn't do well in domestic pursuits.

German Shepherds are amazing dogs and one of the most recognized breeds on earth. German Shepherd dog lovers are a special breed in their own right because owning a German shepherd requires a level of commitment not found with most other dogs.

Adopting a dog is bringing a new child into our homes. We can't assume they know how to do anything, let alone our particular house rules. They must be taught! And just like young children, they need to be reminded and encouraged when they forget.

Tennis balls are perfectly fine for a game of fetch. But NOT for chew toys. If you have a "chewaholic" doggie, I'd recommend a rubber ball even for fetch cuz they can really do damage to their teeth with the abrasive covering of tennis balls.

There is no doubt that dogs love tennis balls. But are they the safest choice for your German shepherd? German shepherds have a high prey drive and love to chase a ball. A game of fetch is an easy way to provide them with the exercise they need and can be used as a reward after training. Most will e...

Kate lost her dog, Ruby, to xylitol poisoning from sugar-free brownies, unaware of its danger to pets. Spread awareness!

It's hard to watch your pet die. But it's horrible for them to be scared and missing you as they pass. The euthanasia process is 2 shots. The first is an anesthetic that puts them to sleep. Please stay with your dog, petting and telling him/her how much you love them until they fall asleep. Then ask the vet to let you leave before they administer the final shot.
