Why stories like this matter
Most pet owners will never need to perform CPR on their animal. But cases like this one are a reminder that the minutes before professional help arrives can matter enormously — and that knowing roughly what to do, and staying calm enough to do it, makes a real difference.
If you would like to talk through emergency preparedness for your own pet during a routine visit, just ask. It is a conversation worth having before you need it rather than during.
In an emergency
