CPR Isn’t Rocket Science
Are you prepared to save your best friend’s life? We mean the four-legged, faithful buddy who relies on you.
Most folks aren’t prepared when it comes to pet survival preparedness. For instance, did you know that 101 degrees fahrenheit is normal for Fido and Fefe? But if the red line hits 104 degrees, they need medical attention.

Be your pet’s hero. Learn CPR!
