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 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! ❤️

Fireworks are here. If your pup gets stressed or nervous by them there are things you can do to help. Michonne only has issues with Boom Booms. So she gets the happy hoodie with cotton in the ears, dog calming pheromones, dog calming essential oils, weighted blanket, dog calming music, cbd oil calming meds, chew toy, redirection and of course a safe place for them away from the boom booms. For her doing just one doesnt help that much. But doing all this greatly helps so she doesn't drool, shake, whine & hide.

If I have groomed your pup you know I play dog calming music. This has been scientificly proven to help reduce their stress. You also might know I use a lot of this while grooming.

We are their guardians so let's help try to protect them.

Hopefully everyone is OK and safe from all the flooding. I like to float but on lakes not to get to my destination or around my house. Unfortunately I know too many right now that that is the only way they can even see their home.
If you need to reschedule because the roads are flooded or you flooded please let me know. I will reschedule your pup when things calm down for you.

Michonne only has issues with Boom Booms. So she gets the happy hoodie,dog pheromones, dog calming essential oils, weighted blanket, dog calming music, cbd oil & calming meds. This combination helps her so she doesn't drool & shake. It's going to be another long night.
If your dog has anxiety to thunder, fireworks etc try some of these.

Hope everyone is enjoying Father's Day as much as Michonne is.
