The MOST important First Aid Skill..

                                                                        [NO Question in my mind]

                                      CPR

This is a CRITICAL First Aid Technique that ALL Pet Owners should know. There likely WON'T be time to get to your Veterinarian- you must ACT fast.

And the MOST common pet 'accident' that causes you to use Pet CPR?

------------------
                                                        CHOKING.
------------------

It can happen very quickly- I have seen it several times when dogs catch a ball the WRONG way, or when cats eat something a little
too big for their throat.

The Airway becomes OBSTRUCTED. They lose the ability to breath.

And then you MUST do the FIRST and MOST
important step in CPR- Establish a Patent Airway.

You may even have to do the HEIMLICH on your dog or cat.

It sounds complex, but it's actually very easy once you see HOW.

To SEE *exactly* what to do IF your pet
ever chokes, watch this video

Hopefully you will NEVER have to use these techniques with your pets- BUT the point of First Aid is to be prepared. There often really isn't time to get to your Veterinarian. 

Take especial notice of HOW to perform the Heimlich- It WORKS if you are to do it as the  video shows you.
