  • It's not funny when your beloved pet is in serious distress. I saved my 1 year old puppy with this method. He was chocking on a thorny rose branch. I at the time didn't even know if you could Heimlich a dog, I figured it was his only chance. Thank God it worked.

  • Thank you, potentially very useful information. Just about the same as on humans, glad I know this in case one of my animal buddies should ever need it.

  • This video is lousy! By the time this studdering dude gets to the point someone's cat would be dead!! Good thing the other videos realize most ppl look these videos up when the choking begins or their animal has swallowed something ..Worst yet, we have to wait for a useless ad to finish before this video even begins playing, smfh ..useless
