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! ❤️

Hello again, it’s Mephy. In case you were wondering, I am still stuck at this Petco place. The humans come by twice a day to feed me and dangle strings in my face assuming I will “play”. Sometimes I do, but mostly I would like to go home and sit on their couch.
Please come see me before I leave Petco for a “break”. I would love to have a couch of my own to curl up on, so consider adopting me! I would get along great with your cats or dogs, if you have any. 😻

Adopted!
This sweet lady is Queso and she needs a savior, she is not doing well at the shelter. She was surrendered with 2 dogs after their owner was no longer able to care for them. Queso has been declawed, spayed, and fully vetted. She is approx 2 years old and has lived with other cats and dogs. She has sensitivity at her front feet, no doubt from the declaw. She is just not happy here. She scratches at herself until she bleeds, she is extremely stressed out and refusing to eat. She needs a home where she can feel safe and loved. She needs out now. If you can help her, please start here: plannedpethoodrockymount.com/adoptionapplications
