Dogs are crazy, naughty and always excited creatures. Their first instinct is to bite and chew any thing that seems fascinating to them.

CPR AND CHEST COMPRESSIONS: HOW TO PERFORM?
Only perform CPR if your pet has lost breath. Do not attempt on a conscious animal.
Always follow the ABC order (check AIRWAY, BREATHING & CIRCULATION) when performing CPR on your pet.
AIRWAY – Lay your pet on its side and open the aiway by extending the head and the neck, until the neck is straight.
BREATHING – Hold your pet’s mouth shut and forcefully blow with your mouth over their nose; just enough to make your pet’s chest rise.
Repeat this four or five times, then check to see if your pet begins to breathe on their own.
If your pet is not breathing or their breathing is shallow, continue assigned breathing for a maximum of 20 minutes.
CIRCULATION – If there is no pulse or heart beat, perform chest compressions and alternate with breathing.
Stand or kneel behind your pet with your arms extended, and your hands cupped, and place your palms over the point on the chest behind the elbow.
Compress the chest 1-3’’, keeping the elbows locked and arms straight.
Do 3-5 compressions to one
