What is Pet CPR?

Pet CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation), just like human CPR, is a crucial life-saving technique for cats and dogs in emergency situations. Here’s a step-by-step guide based on the information gathered:

Assessment: Check for responsiveness. Tap the pet gently and call its name.

Breathing Check: Ensure the pet is not breathing. Look for chest movement and listen for breath sounds.

Call for Help: If the pet is unresponsive, call for veterinary assistance or emergency services.

Chest Compressions: For both dogs and cats, administer chest compressions at a rate of 100 to 120 compressions per minute. Press down about one-third to one-half of the chest width.

Rescue Breaths: Provide rescue breaths by closing the pet’s mouth and breathing into its nose. Repeat the cycle of 30 chest compressions and 2 rescue breaths until the pet starts breathing on its own.

Training Resources: Online platforms like the Red Cross offer pet CPR certification classes, covering essential techniques and guidelines for effective CPR.

Always consult professional veterinary services immediately after administering CPR.

Additionally, guidelines may vary, and it’s advisable to stay informed about the latest recommendations, such as those provided by the American Veterinary Medical Association.
