Oh Yuck! Your Breath Smells Like Poo!!

Mom wants me to share something with you that she read about today in the newspaper. It was the news that 58% of pet owners were "somewhat likely" to perform CPR on their pet. I guess she found it surprising that only slightly more than half of the people said they would risk getting germs from their furry friends. And apparently dog owners love their dogs more than cat owners love their cats cause the numbers there were, dogs- 63% and cats-53%.

Mom thinks if she took a poll of my furiends and their hoomans the numbers would be much higher. I asked her to add a poll to my blog to find out. So if you would take a few seconds to vote, (the poll is over on the right) we will see if she is right.

I know us doggies would do whatever we could to save our hoomans lives. So I would hope you hoomans could return the favor. Don't let stinky breath keep you from doing CPR on us.Thank you very much!

Here is a chart showing you how to perform CPR on a dog or cat. You can bigify the picture so you can read the instructions better. You never know when this might come in handy so take a minute to look it over. You can even save it and print it out to keep "just in case". There are lots of videos on the internet demonstrating the proper way to perform CPR if you need to see it done. Just search for "pet cpr video".

Pay attention! You might save a life!

Once you know how to give your pet CPR it wouldn't hurt to go out and buy a Pet First Aid kit or get the stuff to make your own. We're not saying you should try and treat injuries or illnesses yourself, but in an emergency, these items might give your pets enough time to reach the animal clinic alive.

Don't forget to vote in the poll. I know we can do better than 58%!
