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! ❤️

I would like to explain why we choose to still be curbside. Number one it is for the safety of our furry clients and ourselves. There is one door that separates the room we groom in where the dogs are and the front door, unfortunately even with “do not open“ signs people still felt the need to open the door and let dogs out. That is a big no no! Also when you have dogs on the table you are grooming with scissors and blades and random people come in just to “see the dogs“ its an accident waiting to happen they are living beings that can be hurt with unexpected movements due to distractions from the outside. Also we don’t need random people coming into the shop while we work. I feel safer with the door locked because unfortunately we live in a crazy world, and have had some weird encounters with people from the outside. I bring my 8 month old baby and my 4 dogs to work with me daily and if we feel safe then our furry clients are safe as well. Thankfully we have the support of our wonderful clients over the years and 99% of people love our being curbside and understand why we are but theres that 1% who says “covid is over“ when in fact it has not one thing to do with covid! I just needed to get that off my chest because of one very rude person who i had an encounter with. But thank you to everyone else and we love you & your pups!! 🐶❤️🐶
