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.
Pet CPR is another skills most folks aren’t skilled in. There are plenty of pet CPR classes being offered now, but like human CPR it isn’t rocket science.
The chest pump is a critical factor and necessary to keep oxygen flowing to the brain, even for a furry friends. And instead of breathing into the mouth, oxygen is breathed into the snout where it can make it’s way to the brain more directly.
Be your pet’s hero. Learn CPR!
