Do you know what to do if your dog stops breathing?
Knowing a few emergency procedures, such as CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) and the Heimlich maneuver for dogs, could be critical in saving your dog's life because if you find your dog is choking, or having difficulty breathing, you may not have time to get to a vet and your dog could suffocate.
