Pet CPR

Elaine Acker, CEO of Pets Amercia, demonstrates the proper technique for performing CPR on pets.
We shot this video with "Wolfgang" because he's a larger mannikin and the process is easier to see. However, this works the same way with cats. Just adjust the depth of your compressions accordingly (just as you would with an infant vs. an adolescent in human CPR).

I wish I saw this earlier. I just lost my dog today from drowning. This is the worst day of my life. She was not only my dog but also my best friend . I can not ever shed tears anymore. Please dog owners watch this video. It can some day save your pets life. I just looked it up, and I wish I did before I lost my best friend.

Success rate for CPR is not high but honestly, it beats doing nothing and screaming like a banshee

thank you. i am writing a story about a guy who loves his dog and it's his best friend. they always hang together and go for long walks. and then the dog alost drowns as they are bathing in the ocean. he needs to perform cpr on the dog and i needed to know how to do it. also, i need to learn it in case it happenes to one of my dogs. i'm sorry for all of you who lost your dog because no one near knew how to perform cpr, or someone tried and didn't quite make it, or something like that.

I've been trained in CPR, AES, and first aid, but I never thought about the Pet side of CPR, which most people would not think of either. I'm glad I watched this video, because knowing how to do this is better then trying to race a pet to the vet, or just standing and screaming.
